“#’We Hit the Ground Running!’ Jared Padalecki Hypes Us Up for ‘Walker’ Season 2<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The CW\u2019s Walker<\/em> returns for its second season tonight and it\u2019s gonna be hotter than a Texas barbecue. Cordi (Jared Padalecki) still has no idea what his partner Micki (Lindsey Morgan) is doing undercover, or that his entire family is secretly being watched. A longtime Walker family rivalry is about to resurface when the Davidson family \u2014 led by matriarch Gail (Paula Marshall) \u2014 returns to Austin. And his brother Liam (Keegan Allen) is not in a great place.<\/p>\n

So, of course, we roped series<\/a> star and executive producer Padalecki into answering a whole bunch of questions before tonight\u2019s big premiere. And as always, it was a wild time.<\/p>\n

I was going to say, you\u2019re finally coming back, but the show has actually not been gone that long. This is the weirdest window of hiatus for any season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jared Padelecki:<\/strong> No shit. [Laughs<\/em>] I mean, no kidding. I think when we all showed up back on set, we\u2019d all had our own little two-month hiatuses or whatever. Hiati? I don\u2019t know\u2026<\/p>\n

Hiati? Yeah, sure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

OK then. [Laughs<\/em>] But it was like, OK, \u201cIt feels like it\u2019s been forever, and also it\u2019s been no time whatsoever.\u201d But it was great.<\/p>\n

\"Walker<\/p>\n

Rebecca Brenneman\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You are all literally back in the saddle. So, we\u2019re coming back, Micki\u2019s undercover and Cordell has no idea what she\u2019s doing, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Correct. So, all we know at the end of Season 1 is that Micki is being asked to go undercover down in San Antonio and the Del Rio area to look into whomever it was who shot Stan Morrison\u2026and also shot Cordell Walker. And so, it\u2019s sort of a need-to-know situation and Captain James [Coby Bell] feels that Cordell doesn\u2019t need to know, so he doesn\u2019t tell him. He just says Micki\u2019s going on a work trip<\/a>. And so, Cordell, being the professional that he is goes, \u201cOK, well, all right, let me know what I can do and how I can help, and when I can hear from her.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so, a few months have passed and in that time, Micki\u2019s been hard at work down in San Antonio and trying to get the bottom of who in the Northside Nation might have been behind this double-assassination attempt. Meanwhile, he hasn\u2019t heard from her, he hasn\u2019t talked to her. Trey [Jeff Pierre] hasn\u2019t heard from her or talked to her.<\/p>\n

Oh, that\u2019s not good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. And also the Walkers have kind of taken Trey under their wing. They loved him already, but now that their mutual friend is away, Trey\u2019s coming over, and he\u2019s having dinner, and they\u2019re working out together and checking up on each other. Trey obviously already had a relationship with the kids as well, so he\u2019s fitting in like a glove. But there still is that underlying bit where Trey is kind<\/em> of thinking that Walker might know something that he\u2019d like to know. And Walker has to say like, \u201cHey man, I don\u2019t<\/em> know.\u201d Then a couple of episodes in, Walker does find out what Micki was up to and what\u2019s been going on, and that puts Walker in a pretty uncomfortable situation. He\u2019s between a rock and a hard place with his friend Trey, his partner, Micki, and what she\u2019s been dealing with.<\/p>\n

\"Walker<\/p>\n

Rebecca Brenneman\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Just what he needs is a little bit more drama. Especially with this new family coming in\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hatfields to our McCoys. The Davidsons have moved back into the ranch next door. And when we were kids, the first 12 to 15 years of Cordell\u2019s life, his friend Denise, who is the same age, lived right next door. And we have Amara Zaragoza, a wonderful actress who\u2019s playing Denise Davidson, but long story short, there was a tragedy that happ<\/a>ened in the Davidson family on their ranch right next door to the Walkers and they had to leave Austin.<\/p>\n

As kids, Cordell had a little crush on Denise. They would play and they were closer in age than he was with his brother, so with Liam, I think there was a little bit of underlying like, \u201cOh, well, Denise is here, so great, you\u2019re going to go play with her and not me? I\u2019m your brother.\u201d And she\u2019s also coming in to take over the role of district attorney from a prior DA\u2026<\/p>\n

The job Liam wanted. Oh no!<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Laughs<\/em>] Yeah, I know. So Liam has to deal with the fact that not only is she back in town and probably going to take his brother\u2019s time, energy, and focus away, but also she took away the job that he was trying to get elected for. And so that doesn\u2019t make things easy.<\/p>\n

In addition, Cordell is feeling a little bit of guilt, which we\u2019ll get into as the season progresses. He is trying to bury the hatchet with the Davidsons and the Walkers. Trying to say, \u201cHey, let\u2019s give them a chance. It\u2019s been a long time. It\u2019s been 30 years. They just came back. They\u2019re trying to get their life started over again.\u201d And Denise is sweet, they have a kid, her husband is\u2026fine. He\u2019s a little rough around the edges. [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

\"Walker<\/p>\n

Rebecca Brenneman\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Okay. Is this Odette\u2018s real-life husband, Dave Annable?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yep. Dave Annable plays Dan Miller, Denise\u2019s husband. Dave is awesome. Dan is kind of one of these guys, he\u2019s written like a very classic kind of Texan. You know, \u201cI heard that you messed with my family before I even knew you, so I don\u2019t like you.\u201d [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Hence the tense bar scene we\u2019ve seen in the promos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. There\u2019s a volcano brewing with Dave\u2019s character Dan because all Dan knows is that there\u2019s some drama between the Walkers and the Davidsons, and as far as he knows, it was the Walkers\u2019 fault. They are the linchpin behind a lot of the problems that the Davidsons have had and he\u2019s part of the Davidsons. He has a spouse that\u2019s a Davidson, and they share a child, Colton, who goes to school with August [Kale Culley] and Stella [Violet Brinson], which causes more drama. But as far as he knows the Walkers are a crap family who caused a lot of drama for his spouse\u2019s family many decades ago.<\/p>\n

Abilene (Molly Hagan) is somehow tied to all of this, too. I feel like they\u2019ve hinted that her affair may have been with a Davidson?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what happened is that Abeline was, her affair was with \u201cGary from the shop.\u201d But what happened is with the Davidsons is that Abeline used to be engaged to Marv Davidson. The patriarch of the family, Denise\u2019s father, and Gail\u2019s late husband.<\/p>\n

And so when Abeline broke off her engagement, she started dating Bonham Walker, our beloved patriarch, Mitch Pileggi, and so that\u2019s an additional kind of source of contention and strife.<\/p>\n

\"Walker<\/p>\n

Rebecca Brenneman\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I just spoke to Keegan about expanding the Walker<\/em> world in Season 2 and getting to play the nuances of your characters now. You\u2019ve got to be having the best time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was having a great time until I just found out that you [bleep]-ing talked to Keegan before you talked to me? What the [bleep], man!? [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Yeah, this is really fun. Obviously, as you know in TV, so much of the first season is spent setting up who the characters are, what they want, what they do, what their relations are with each other. But with Season 2, we hit the ground running. I can\u2019t help but think back to Supernatural, <\/em>it also seemed like \u2014 especially when we got into the later years, obviously \u2014 \u201cOh, this just feels like an extension of last season.\u201d Not like we were trying to introduce a brand new TV show, with brand new characters and trying to get the audience to learn them, fall in love with them\u2026orhate them, if they need to. So we walked into day one of Season 2 a couple of months ago, just like, \u201cAlright, we\u2019re back. This isn\u2019t Season 1, Episode 1. This is Walker,<\/em> Episode 19.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s great because it really is like you left us with something to pick up from and a family we do <\/em>care about. I talked to [showrunner] Anna Fricke over the summer\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, you [bleep]-ing talked to Anna, too?! You\u2019re just rubbing it in now. First Keegan, now Anna. [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Well, you were busy running around Europe! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Alright. Fair enough. I accept that. [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

\"Walker<\/p>\n

Rebecca Brenneman\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Anna said that the Davidsons have this kid, Colton (Jalen Thomas Brooks) who is a peer of August and Stella. And I was like, \u201cWait a minute, Stella\u2019s already been through the heartache. Leave her alone!\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Amen! [Laughs<\/em>] Yeah, that poor girl. Stella\u2019s now a senior in high school. She obviously had a pretty colorful junior year with everything that happened at her ranch, with her uncle being shot, her father coming back. And Violet, who plays Stella, is such a wonderful actor to be able to capture all that. But yeah, Stella has certainly been put through the wringer. And it doesn\u2019t slow down this year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Kale is getting a storyline that is probably very close to you about dealing with August\u2019s mental-health issues. How has that been?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been wonderful. I\u2019m consistently impressed with the way our writers, Anna and Seamus Fahey and the gang, are portraying these very real and very pertinent issues that we\u2019re dealing with in society right now. One is the effects of mental health on our youth, on our high schoolers, on our teenagers. And so we see Kale\u2019s character, August, dealing with some signs of PTSD because he\u2019s dealt with some really intense things and he doesn\u2019t really know how to elaborate on it, or how to ask for help. And he\u2019s got this hard-assed Texas Ranger father who doesn\u2019t admit that it\u2019s good to ask for help.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s in a situation that a lot of children find themselves in, actually that a lot of children and<\/em> adults all over the world find themselves in. And part of what Cordell\u2019s doing is, he\u2019s trying to go like, \u201cNo kid, everything\u2019s OK.\u201d Like, \u201cListen, it\u2019s all going to be all right. Just take it easy.\u201d And then Cordell\u2019s going to his room and having himself a cry or having a moment. But August doesn\u2019t see that and he doesn\u2019t want his dad to be scared. He was without his father for so long after he lost his mother and so his thinking is, \u201cNo, I\u2019ve got to be tough. I\u2019ve got to be the man of the house.\u201d Liam has his own place now since Cordell is back, so even Uncle Liam isn\u2019t here and August is like, \u201cI\u2019ve got to take care of my sister and my dad\u2019s going through stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a lot of pressure for a teenager.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. And hopefully, as the season progresses, August realizes that the best way to get through those times you need help is to say, \u201cHey, I need help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, what\u2019s up with Geri? You have Annable as a series regular, but Cordi\u2019s childhood crush has come to town! And she\u2019s someone you already knew, as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. Amara\u2019s awesome. And yeah, it\u2019s funny, I met Amara, who plays Denise, back in like Season 2 of Supernatural<\/em>. She was in Vancouver and she was in one of the episodes Kim Manners directed. So it\u2019s funny to see her after 15 years. She\u2019s an absolute sweetheart and a wonderful actress.<\/p>\n

We kind of teed up that Geri and Cordell were there for each other for years and years\u2026as friends. And then for a while, as well, after Emily was murdered. And so we know that they share a deep, deep connection. But now there\u2019s someone else in town from Cordell\u2019s childhood and we have to figure out what\u2019s going on with Cordell and Geri. Like, \u201cHey, is this something where we\u2019re just going to be each other\u2019s confidants and best friends forever and ever? Or is there more here?\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, there is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see! [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n
