‘Fire Country’ Promo: Will Jared Padalecki’s Camden Cause Bode & Gabriela’s Next Breakup? (VIDEO)
When executive producer Tia Napolitano told us that Jared Padalecki‘s Camden Casey will “rub a few people the wrong way,” she wasn’t kidding! Just look at TV Insider’s exclusive Fire Country promo ahead of his first episode. (Fun fact: He’s not the only Walker vet in this episode. Jeff Pierre is playing Elijah, brother of Jules Latimer‘s Eve, we’ve confirmed.)
Bode (Max Thieriot) will meet his new boss as he moves on to Phase 3 of his training in the November 15 episode, and while he may be feeling optimistic about his future as a firefighter—and with Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila), after the exes hooked up in the middle of the heatwave—he’s about to be brought back down to Earth. Jake (Jordan Calloway) warns him that the last phase is tough.
The promo offers a look at Camden giving Bode orders in the field, at the site of an airplane that has made an emergency landing. After, Vince (Billy Burke) says, “He handled himself like a pro, maybe we just—” but Sharon’s (Diane Farr) clearly not a fan as she finishes, “Let the sociopath continue training our son? Okay, let’s try it your way.” (We’re not surprised, given what Farr told us about Sharon’s feelings regarding Camden.)
“I see a lot of things pulling your focus—parents, high school buds, girlfriend,” Camden warns Bode. “You could be excellent. But you have to choose.”
Watch the full promo above for much more, including tension rising between Bode and Vince and the choice Bode has to make.
“[Camden] has very unconventional tactics when it comes to firefighting, when it comes to Bode, when it comes to what rules are meant to be broken,” according to Napolitano. “And I think it’ll be fun. He’s not a villain by any means, but it’ll be fun to see our people have this new real alpha guy in their midst.”
What do you think of Camden in this promo? What are you hoping to see from his arc for Bode? Let us know in the comments section below.

I don’t want to see the on and off every episode or on for a quarter episode and off for 4 episodes with bode n gabby jus let em be a thing so many shows wait far to long for it to happen n then when they finally do it ends up being there last season [which obv they knew beforehand which is why they write in them getting together before it ends] but I mean okay do the on an off thing but at least give em a few episodes and the fact gabby dad doesn’t want her wit bode cuz of his past exp he should know bode better than that to break his daughters heart the worst thing he’ll do to her is go rogue which she does too n die doing it. So idk if this ruins them somehow that part will kinda suck I been waiting for a while for them to finally happen don’t pull it back in minutes phase 3 will come n go n in the end we know he’ll choose to stay with Jake and his dad and follow there instructions in the end at first though sure he might be tempted to do it his way cuz it feels like it’s him who he is but I hope it gabby that reigns him back in

This is a very good show and the characters are being portrayed excellently by the cast chosen.Jake is being a jerk! Bodie is the main character so of course he carries the baby off the plane, it was too heavy for anyone else to lift. From every episode I've seen(watched since the pilot) Bodie is the only one blaming Bodie for the death of his sister, so it is self-imposed blame. Granted things are a little strained between him and his dad(Vince who is being portrayed by Billy Burke very well) but his sister was a daddy's girl plus Vince was upset over Bodie's drug use. Of course Bodie being a Momma's boy can be imperfect and she will still care and pass no judgement. I don't think Manny believes Bodie can take adequate care of his daughter and just wants a man who can afford the upkeep of Gabriella in his opinion. Nobody is good enough for her because she is all Manny has, so of course he wants someone better than an ex-con for her husband/boyfriend and his son-in-law. Just hope CBS has enough sense to keep it around for a long time.

If it's true Bode is always the hero, he sure is not getting many positive vibes from his friends and family for his good work. How many people showed up for his "now he's a free man" party in Season 2? Three? And, no show Gabriella sent what? A cream cheese doughnut or something like it? Manny makes it known he thinks Bode is bad for his daughter. "Friend" Jake is currently going out of his way to make life miserable for Bode. Bode does not have an ego-driven hero complex. Just the opposite. Blamed somehow for his sister's death, he's moving through a long period of self-doubt and low self-esteem, and reckless action is a way getting some immediate gratification that he can "do good" in this world. As long as he keeps the humble persona--a friend for all seasons--casting Bode as a low-key hero works fine for me.

Of course Bode's the one who carries the baby from the plane. One thing I don't like about this show is that, if there's something dangerous or heroic that has to be done, Bode's the one who has to do it. Firefighters work as a team-- they ALL do heroic and wonderful things. But on this show, Bode's the one who does most of them. I wish it weren't written that way, and was shown to be more realistic.

I agree but since it’s his show he writes himself as the hero every time. And as far as being realistic Cal Fire disavowed the show and wanted nothing to do with it because it was so unrealistic
