Dare we are saying Bode’s doing properly proper now on Hearth Nation? Max Thieriot definitely agrees.
“I believe that he’s in a very good place,” the star, co-creator, and government producer (who has additionally directed episodes—he’s busy!) tells TV Insider forward of the November 15 episode, the primary with Jared Padalecki.
In any case, he’s transferring on to Section 3 of his firefighter coaching. His relationships together with his associates (Jordan Calloway‘s Jake and Jules Latimer‘s Eve) and fogeys (Billy Burke‘s Vince and Diane Farr‘s Sharon) are nice. He and his ex-girlfriend, Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila), simply connected.
“I believe that he’s actually optimistic about his relationship with Gabriela, however he’s additionally cautious on the identical time simply because he has form of been getting these combined messages from her and her unwillingness to essentially put a label on it,” Thieriot explains. “Clearly she retains drawing the 2 of them collectively however on the identical time is fast to type of push him again.”

Bode’s additionally cautious as a result of he’s used to issues not going his approach. “He’s type of ready for that letdown, ready for the rug to get pulled from beneath him as a result of nothing ever truly feels prefer it’s this good in his life,” says Thieriot. “And so it’s type of attempting to maintain his head down and keep centered on the duty at hand and keep dedicated to the job and do every thing that he can to get by means of every day and every part. However I believe on the identical time, he’s all the time wanting over his shoulder.”
The subsequent problem for him comes from his Section 3 teacher, Captain Camden Casey, performed by Padalecki, additionally a pal of Thieriot’s. (As government producer Tia Napolitano advised us, the half was written for the Supernatural star.) Thieriot says it was numerous enjoyable working collectively on Hearth Nation.
“It was one thing Jared and I had talked about. We’re simply actually enthusiastic about this chance to probably work collectively and simply the assist from the studio and community and all of the producers was all there,” he shares. “And as quickly because it felt prefer it was a chance, I believe there was numerous pleasure round it. And so Jared and I had been simply actually excited to get to spend a bunch of days collectively and hang around and work collectively for the primary time after which additionally simply be us and chortle as associates. So it was numerous enjoyable and I believe everyone actually type of loved having him up and be part of the household.”
Bode simply accomplished Section 2, and his teacher (and greatest pal) Jake handed him after he noticed that he may comply with his lead and never be a solo operator. However Camden is described as such, which may very well be what Bode doesn’t want.
“Bode’s doing his greatest to stroll this line and be a firefighter who operates by the e-book, and Camden is definitely not that man,” Thieriot previews. “I believe that Camden does issues a distinct approach, which creates a bit of battle between him and Jake and him and Vince and Sharon. They see that Bode’s doing so properly, however now right here is that this teacher who’s type of pushing Bode to be Bode in a approach.”
He continues, “However I believe that’s as a result of Camden sees a little bit of himself in Bode they usually have numerous similarities in the best way that they act based mostly on their intuition and intestine feeling and make choices based mostly on what’s occurring within the second versus following the guidelines. That’s a scary factor for everyone in Bode’s life to see due to choices that Bode’s made prior to now. The 2 of them clearly will work properly collectively, however on the identical time, I believe their similarities and tendencies will even create battle between the 2 of ’em and it’ll be actually enjoyable for everyone to look at.”
Count on to see not simply Camden have an effect on Bode as his teacher however vice versa as properly. “Camden is in a position to remove rather a lot personally from Bode and Bode is in a position to remove professionally and personally issues from Camden,” says Thieriot. “In order that they each definitely go away an influence on one another.”
