What The New Fire Country Character Means For Season 3
Gabriela & Bode Won’t Have An Easy Road
Even though Bode may have a new love interest, it’s clear thathis feelings for Gabriela are not entirely a thing of the past. Following the season 2 ending, it seems that the pair has a moment to reconnect. After disaster strikes at Gabriela’s wedding, halting her vows to Diego Moreno (Rafael de la Fuente),theFire Countryseason 3trailershows Gabriela and Bode in an intimate moment. She climbs into his lap, with the two gazing into each other’s eyes.
Fire Country Season 2 Finale Set Up Bode’s Best Season 3 Future
The Fire Country season 2 finale ended unexpectedly for Max Thieriot’s Bode, but the episode also perfectly set up the character for season 3.
Itremains to be seen whether this scene ends up being a dream sequencesince the addition of Audrey brings another wrinkle to the story. Rambin, who previously appeared as Athena Bezzerides inTrue Detective, plays a character who is described as gritty and has a love for music. She may hit it off with Bode before showrunner Tia Napolitano and the drama’s team of writers circle back to a romance with Gabriela.

Rambin has several notable credits to her name. In addition to her recurring role onTrue Detective, where she appeared throughout season 2, the actor is recognized forplaying Glimmer inThe Hunger Gamesand sharing the screen opposite Jack Quaid, who would go on to portray Hughie inThe Boys.

Rambin got her start on the long-running soapAll My Children, playing the half-sisters Lily Montgomery and Ava Benton, a performance which earned the actor two consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations. Following her soap stint, Rambin was among the main cast of the Christian dramaThe Book of Daniel, which was canceled by NBC after only a few episodes. Her most high-profile role saw her playing Riley Dawson and recurring as part of theTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chroniclesas Riley Dawson.
For many television fans, however, Rambin may be best known for her small but pivotal part as Sloan Riley onGrey’s AnatomyandPrivate Private. Riley was the daughter of Mark Sloan, played by Eric Dane. Even though she only appeared in five episodes ofGrey’s, from 2009 to 2010, and one episode ofPrivate Private, her arc of reconnecting with Mark helped to better define a coreGrey’scharacter.

It remains to be seen whether Rambin gets to do the same during her time onFire Country. But she’s a familiar recurring face on several series, having also appeared in dramas likeThe PathandGone, so she should complementthe ongoing uncertainty between Gabriela and Bode.
Our Take On Bode & Gabriela’s Current Relationship
Complications Make For A Better Pairing
The show’s central pairing has a lot to work through. Bode began season 2 behind bars, and, although he’s since become a free man,Gabriela has found a stable relationship with Diego. Though he’s not likely to hang around withtheFire Countrycharactersfor long, and Audrey won’t either, it’s important the fan-favorite Bode and Gabriela pairing get to have believable obstacles that they work their way through.
Jared Padalecki’s Fire Country Spinoff Will Break An Important Franchise Trend
If it comes to fruition, Jared Padalecki’s Fire Country spinoff will likely break from a trend set forth by the franchise’s first two series.
The series, created by Joan Rater, Tony Phelan, and Thieriot, is also eying a second spinoff withSupernatural’s Jared Padalecki. It’s a busy time forFire Country, with several supporting cast members having their own storylines as CBS mulls turning a popular premise into a connected franchise. Given all of these different threads, putting Gabriela and Bode on a bit of a romantic pause may be for the best in terms of building their story.
