How Jared Padalecki’s New Role Can Impact Bode’s Fire Country Season 3 Arc
Camden Can Be The Key To Bode’s Fire Country Season 3 Goal
Despite the character description, there are still a lot of unknowns about Padalecki’s Camden inFire Countryseason 3. That said, it seems like he isn’t actually from Edgewater. Assuming that this is the case, then he could be someone looking to relocate to the area. Besides the idea of theSupernaturalactor leading a new network show, arguably the most interesting reveal from the aforementioned report is how his arrival impacts Bode and his arc moving forward. While Mickey’s introduction affected Sharon,Camden’s arrival can mean major things for Bode ahead.
Camden recognizing Bode’s firefighting skills could be the key to his goal of officially joining a firehouse. If anything, Bode wouldn’t have to convince Padalecki’s character that he is worth a chance despite his prison record.
After successfully convincing the prison board that he is worthy of being free, Thieriot’s character was looking to become a full-time firefighter in theFire Countryseason 2 finale. Bode first sought his Uncle Luke’s help, but he may not be capable of doing anything about the matter, considering concerns over Sharon potentially taking back the role as Division Chief. Camden recognizing Bode’s firefighting skillscould be the key to his goal of officially joining a firehouse. If anything, Bode wouldn’t have to convince Padalecki’s character that he is worth a chance despite his prison record.
It’s worth noting that, aside from playing its lead character,Thieriot is also a co-creator and co-executive producer ofFire Country. This means that he has creative control over other aspects of the budding CBS TV franchise. Considering this, it will be easier for him to tailor Bode’s relationship with Camden in a way that will both benefit the main show and its potential second offshoot.
