SPOILER ALERT! This story accommodates full factors from Friday’s season 3 premiere of Hearth Nation on CBS.
Within the episode titled “What the Bride Stated,” disaster wreaked havoc on the Diego and Gabriela nuptials, however it wasn’t due to something Bode did after we final noticed him depart the church within the season 2 finale.
As a substitute, a helicopter crashed by way of the stained glass window and forged a veil over the ceremony, prompting everybody in attendance to spring into motion and assist the victims. Right here, showrunner Tia Napolitano addresses why she determined to delay the will-they-or-won’t-they drama and what we will count on from half 2 of what we’re unofficially dubbing Copter-nado.
DEADLINE What number of completely different eventualities did you’ve for the marriage?
TIA NAPOLITANO We talked about a variety of stuff. We actually checked out what viewers are aware of when it comes to weddings that did not find yourself occurring. We wished to verify ours was lots completely different. We kicked round a bunch of concepts within the room. After which one among my writers mentioned, ‘nicely, you need to crash a helicopter into that wedding ceremony, proper? Deliver the motion to the cleaning soap.’ And I mentioned, yeah, that is what we’ll do.
DEADLINE You have been undoubtedly suspending some disbelief there by having Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) save lives in a marriage costume. Did Stephanie ever get to the purpose the place she was saying, hey that is foolish?
NAPOLITANO She was recreation. She liked it. And actually, they are not on obligation. They’re residents serving to till the on-duty firefighters get there. So it isn’t like her alternative was to cease serving to and to go get completely different garments. She simply continued to assist and mentioned ‘screw the costume.’
DEADLINE What’s on the root of Manny (Kevin Alejandro) not wanting his daughter to finish up with Bode?
NAPOLITANO Manny loves his daughter and he roots for her. He loves Bode and he roots for him, too. However that dynamic, to him, appears paying homage to him and Roberta, which was not a completely wholesome relationship. He fears that Bode and Gabriela are drawn to one another for the issues they create out in one another… breaking the foundations. They’re just a little bit co-dependent or all the time pushing the envelope in a foul method.
DEADLINE Why the two-parter?
NAPOLITANO Actually, the crew constructed these lovely units. We had that complete forest and the helicopter and all this work went into it. It was so visually spectacular, we wished to remain in that world longer and simply milk it for every thing we might.
DEADLINE Will Gabriela give Diego (Rafael de la Fuente) a solution within the subsequent episode?
NAPOLITANO We are going to get Gabriela’s reply for positive.
DEADLINE You had Rick (Adam Aalderks) work out fairly rapidly that Genevieve (Alix West Lefler) could possibly be his daughter. Why?
NAPOLITANO We all know, we performed round a lot final season with paternity. We actually lived within the unknown for thus lengthy. So this season, we wished to ship the data, the crimson meat, and actually digest what penalties come from that info.
DEADLINE Max Thieriot informed us this week that the brand new season is about legacy. Are you able to increase on that?
NAPOLITANO We heard Bode say it within the last final season. He is prepared to say his legacy as a firefighter and as a Leone. We actually need to dive into what meaning. The Leones are a multi-generation firefighting household. We have talked about parental scars handed down from Papa Leone to Vince (Billy Burke) and probably to Bode. What does it appear to be to essentially lock into that household historical past, to essentially have interaction with the place he got here from? After we met Bode, he was a person who did not need to come dwelling, and now he is saying, I am dwelling and I’ll dig my heels in, profession clever and household clever. We’ll additionally get into another households on the present. We’ll be taught just a little bit extra about Eve (Jules Latimer) and the place she comes from. And you are going to see a variety of new characters. We have already introduced we’ll meet a brand new character named Audrey (Levin Ramblin). And clearly, Jared Padalecki is becoming a member of us for just a little bit to play Captain Casey. We have a enjoyable visitor forged this season.
DEADLINE Padalecki might end in a possible spinoff. What do you want to date about what he is bringing?
NAPOLITANO Oh, I really like the character. Jared himself is great. We wrote Captain Casey with him in thoughts, and we have been fortunate sufficient that he took the position. He is simply nice with Max on display screen. They’ve superb buddy chemistry. And Jared has just a little little bit of enjoyable. You understand, Casey has sass, and he encourages the adventurous facet of Bode, the facet of Bode that goes rogue. He encourages the facet of Bode that perhaps needs to interrupt a rule from time to time.
DEADLINE Will you must do any extra lifting to assist prepare for the spinoff of Sheriff Nation?
NAPOLITANO That writers room opened final week. They have their very own writers and their very own showrunner, and so they’re doing nice. We all know a variety of pals over there. We had an enormous mixer. There can be a variety of collaborating. We have grids to verify we’re working collectively. We’re in the identical universe, we’re in the identical city. We’ll be sending a variety of service pigeons backwards and forwards to verify we’re telling a cohesive story.
