While My Life With the Walter Boys hasn’t shied away from major characters facing life-altering events, Ashby Gentry isn’t too concerned about Alex’s fate in the future.
Warning: Spoilers below for season 3 of My Life With the Walter Boys.
“Alex is actually indestructible, so I’m not super worried. Even if something did happen to him, he would emerge from it pristine, like a newborn baby,” Gentry, 27, exclusively quipped to Us ahead of the Thursday, August 6, season 3 premiere on Netflix, before admitting: “Yeah, actually, I get worried sometimes.”
Gentry, who doesn’t partake in the bronc riding on the show, explained to Us that he “[gets] on horses all the time” but still faces nerves for himself and his equine-loving character. That is, until Alex decided to step back from his rodeo crew at Hartford.
“I’m literally going horseback riding after this and I get nervous sometimes because you never know. Things happen. I mean in any stunt sort of encounter, you never know what could happen,” he noted. “But I mean, I’m not really that nervous by the end of the season because he’s not doing the bronc riding anymore.”
While Gentry isn’t concerned for Alex, fans of the show are eagerly awaiting season 4 (dropping on Netflix in 2027) to find out the fate of his brother Cole (Noah LaLonde). The brooding bad boy in an on-again, off-again relationship with Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) was last seen rolling over in his car several times after being hit by a competitor.
From Gentry’s perspective, the accident could serve as a catalyst for Cole and Alex to bond amid their tension stemming from navigating love triangles.
“I would be surprised if it didn’t [bring Alex and Cole closer],” Gentry reflected of the incident. “Jackie brought them closer, like, fighting over a girl brought them closer. So if rolling his car six times doesn’t, something’s backwards there.”
Gentry pointed to the previous cliff-hanger of family patriarch George’s (Marc Blucas) health scare as something that united the Walters in season 3.
“I think George’s stroke at the beginning of season 3 slash end of season 2 brings everybody closer,” Gentry explained. “People are shaped much more by their conditions than they create their conditions. I think we have that backwards in contemporary culture.”
Despite playing coy about any of the events unfolding in season 4 (“I’ve heard it’s good,” he teased), Gentry did weigh in on what he wishes for Alex’s future.
“I hope Alex has a happy day,” Gentry said. “I hope Alex has a good day for once at some point because Alex has not had a good day in a long time. That’s what I wish for him.”
My Life With the Walter Boys season 3 is streaming on Netflix now.
