He’s done hiding in season 3 and pretending that what happened never did.
And there’s also the pain from his eye that leads him back to drugs.
His spiral stems back to his traumatic life, with an emphasis on the murder of his mom.”
Coco’s downward spiral is affecting the M.C.
“Coco is walking that fine line right now.
He’s choosing the addiction over the brotherhood, that’s rough.
I don’t foresee Gilly softening his stance on this one; he’s frustrated.
Adds Cabral, “I’m so proud of those scenes that show Coco’s and Gilly’s relationship.
We hadn’t had a chance to tap into the camaraderie, the brotherhood before season 3.
[Executive producer] Elgin [James] and the writers really honored that.
“Me being from a gang, we understand the meaning of brotherhood without judgment,” he continues.
“He has something over Coco and things aren’t going to end there,” Cabral says.
“Him showing up at the club, there’s a bigger set-up.
With the border closures putting the squeeze on everyone, only the strong will survive.
finds creative ways to stay in business, Coco is lagging behind.
“He will stand by the club and whatever decisions they make, with or without Coco.
If he continues down this path, he will get left behind.”
