Fire Country’s own Diane Farr is in the Director’s Chair for episode 3 of season 3 filming in Vancouver.
Diane Farr plays Sharen Leone, former Cal Fire Division Chief and mother of star and co-creator Max Thieriot’s Bode Donovan on the hit CBS series.
What’s Fire Country about?
Seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, convict Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot) joined an inmate firefighting program called Three Rock in season one that returned him to his small Northern California hometown Edgewater, where he and other inmates worked alongside his parents (Billy Burke & Diane Farr) and other elite Cal Fire firefighters from Station 42 to extinguish massive blazes across the region.
Then in the season one finale, Bode tanked his own parole, sacrificing himself for fellow inmate and friend Freddy. After six months in prison, Bode returned to the Three Rock crew in season two and a lot of changes: Manny (Kevin Alejandro), who got demoted after Bode went back to prison, ended up at Station 42; Manny’s daughter and Bode’s love Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) trained as a paramedic and got engaged to her trainer Diego (Rafael de la Fuente); and Eve (Jules Latimer) took Manny’s place as boss of the inmate firefighters.
Where did we leave Fire Country at the end of season 2?
Bode got an early release and is a free man. Will he be able to join Cal Fire?
Manny, who was about to be arrested for punching Luke (Michael Trucco) for trying to shut down Three Rock, briefly went on the run but returned to walk Gabriela down the aisle at her wedding to Diego.
At the wedding, Manny stopped Bode from trying to talk Gabriela out of it and we were left with her turning to look longingly at Bode as he left the church. Did she say “I do”?
What happens with Genevieve who is not Bode’s child after all? Is Jake’s high school friend Rick her father?
