Excellent news, people, Gabriela is coming again. Properly, not completely, Stephanie Arcila remains to be exiting Hearth Nation. Nonetheless, when the collection returns for its fourth season on the 2025 TV schedule, the firefighter will even be again to shut out her story, and I’m thrilled.
Hearth Nation will return to CBS on Friday, October 17, and in preparation for that, showrunner Tia Napolitano shared some particulars about what’s to return with TV Line. Specializing in the very finish of Season 3, she addressed the 2 forged exits – Billy Burke, who performs Vince and Arcila – that have been introduced proper after the finale aired. Whereas she wouldn’t say something about Vince’s destiny, she did verify that Gabriela will get a “stunning” and “earned” ending, saying:
We needed to jot down some lovely ‘fan sweet’ for our Gabriela followers, for our ‘Bohiela’ followers, and actually service that character.
Realizing that Gabriela will really get an finish makes me so completely satisfied. The Season 3 finale (which you’ll be able to stream with a Paramount+ subscription) left everybody on the present in the midst of a catastrophic hearth. So, Arcila’s character didn’t get a correct goodbye.
Again when the episode dropped, Arcila stated she had “no thought” how Gabs would go, and since then, I’ve been sitting on pins and needles. After all, I’ve my guesses – I feel she may go away to return to diving. Nonetheless, finally, I had no clue how they’d wrap up her story, and I used to be actually uncertain as a result of I had assumed she wouldn’t be returning for the Season 4 premiere.
Now we all know she’ll be again, the showrunner stated so. Which means Gabriela will get the right goodbye she deserves! And hopefully it’s going to embrace Bode, Manny and extra. Napolitano did observe that her sendoff will make Bode and Gabriela shippers completely satisfied, so I’m positive Max Thieriot’s character will probably be concerned one way or the other. I additionally assume Kevin Alejandro will probably be too, since he performs her dad, Manny.
I’m curious to see who else will probably be a part of this hopefully celebratory sendoff. As Bode and Audrey’s love story acquired going, she additionally developed a candy friendship with Gabs. Contemplating they have been each a part of the harmful occasions that led to Finn’s dying within the finale, I’d assume that may play into the episode as properly.
Nonetheless, finally, I don’t know what’s going to occur. I actually simply need Gabriela to get a contented exit. Her time working in Edgewater has been robust, and she or he deserves a contented life. Plus, as somebody who has been on the forged since day one, Stephanie Arcila deserves an enormous sendoff, as a result of Gabs will probably be dearly missed.
So, right here’s hoping we get to rejoice her shifting on to higher and brighter days when Hearth Nation returns for Season 4 in October.
