Shunned as ‘fringers’ from the moment they arrived in Hope, the DeVrit family became increasingly isolated as the barely-suppressed resentment from sections of the community took its toll. But on the night when even sanity deserted them, Wade stood tall and sacrificed part of himself to keep Lana safe. In that moment, her future was forged. These days Hope considers Lana, the Deputy, to be the driving force behind the Sheriff’s Office and a vital component of the town; a view that she doesn’t often share. However, as long as Wade holds the badge, she will always stand by his side, regardless of the severity of the situation.
