It's no secret Wade (Wilson Bethel) and Zoe (Rachel Bilson) are a favorite when it comes to couples on Hart of Dixie (they've even been given the nickname Zade); now Bethel has shared his thoughts on the on-screen romance in the new season.

"Zoe and Wade's thing, is much, much closer this year, more than it's ever been. That dynamic is something fans of the show have been supportive of so they'll be very happy of where the show goes this season," he told Just Jared recently.

He reassured fans they will not have to go through the emotional roller coaster of Zade ups and downs that they experienced in season three.

"A lot of people got frustrated with the last season. They felt like people were throwing wrenches into the gears, but it's back on track. In the last season, the writers made a big point of keeping us apart for most of the season. Fans of the show will be very excited that we're working together a lot this year..."

It will certainly be interesting to see where Zade heads in the new season as fans learned that Zoe is pregnant by Wade's baby in the opener.

Bethel also opened up about working with Bilson again.

"Rachel and I have been working together again a lot and that's always fun. At this point, we have a good chemistry going and certainly fans are supportive of that, so that's nice to have that feel that we're feeding into what they want. There's some good energy that comes out of that."
