The day is nearly right here! Jared Padalecki’s Hearth Nation debut is going on throughout this week’s episode, and I can’t wait to see him as Part 3 teacher Captain Camden Casey. Nonetheless, earlier than we see his SoCal firefighter on display screen, the present’s lead and co-creator, Max Thieriot, is previewing the impression the Supernatural actor can have on Hearth Nation’s third season. I’ve to say, I’m very intrigued by his feedback too, particularly those concerning “battle.”
When Padalecki’s character was introduced, Thieriot and showrunner Tia Napolitano advised CinemaBlend that Camden was written for him, and so they teased that he’s bringing a brand new power to the present. Then, whereas talking with TV Insider, the Bode actor revealed that this new captain will encourage his character to work in a approach that’s usually discouraged. Elaborating on that concept, he stated the next in regards to the Part 3 teacher:
Bode’s doing his greatest to stroll this line and be a firefighter who operates by the ebook, and Camden is definitely not that man. I feel that Camden does issues a distinct approach, which creates somewhat 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.
This tracks. So, far, within the episodes from Season 3 which have aired on the 2024 TV schedule we’ve seen many characters, however particularly Jake, attempt to get Bode to not act on his impulsive instincts a lot. With Camden attempting to do the alternative – he’s attempting to get Bode to harness his instincts – it’d create battle between Padalecki’s new man and people closest to Bode.
Nonetheless, what actually intrigued me was Thieriot’s feedback about how this new dynamic would possibly characteristic som of its personal battle too, as he defined:
However I feel that’s as a result of Camden sees a little bit of himself in Bode and so they have plenty of similarities in the way in which that they act primarily based on their intuition and intestine feeling and make choices primarily based 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 up to now. The 2 of them clearly will work properly collectively, however on the identical time, I feel their similarities and tendencies will even create battle between the 2 of ’em and it’ll be actually enjoyable for everyone to look at.
For the reason that announcement that the Gilmore Ladies actor was becoming a member of the present as a personality who noticed potential in Bode, I’ve all the time figured they’d have a mentor/mentee relationship. I didn’t actually take into account the battle they might have. Perhaps, Bode has modified a bit, and he sees the worth in stopping himself from performing on impulse. Or possibly, he’ll get right into a scenario with Camden that proves that Jake and his dad and mom are proper in some instances.
Total, I’m simply tremendous interested in how these two will butt heads, and I can’t wait to see it play out on display screen. That’s partially the case as a result of I’m enthusiastic about this little Hearth Nation arc. Nonetheless, I’m additionally keen on how this relationship between Bode and Camden may impression what’s coming down the road for the Walker actor.
Just like the now-greenlit spinoff Sheriff Nation, there’s potential for Jared Padalecki to guide his personal collection throughout the Hearth Nation universe. So, I’m excited to see the way it connects again to Bode’s story in addition to how Camden’s time in Bode’s life impacts him transferring ahead.
To see how this all performs out, you’ll be able to watch Jared Padalecki and Max Thieriot as Camden and Bode within the latest episode of Hearth Nation when it airs on CBS this Friday, November 15, at 9 p.m. ET or the subsequent day with a Paramount+ subscription.
