EW spoke with Bell about the adventure and the experience of makingWalker.
Did you and showrunner Anna Fricke discuss that?
COBY BELL:We absolutely had discussions.
Coby Bell in ‘Walker’.The CW
There’s even backstory with [Lindsey Morgan’s] character and my character.
We’ll find that out later, how he brought her into the Rangers.
You mention the big-brother-little-brother dynamic with Walker.
Keegan Allen and Coby Bell in ‘Walker’.The CW
I get a similar vibe with Captain James and Liam, who of course is Walker’s little brother.
Captain James is sort of a part of the family.
He’s so much fun to work with.
What can you tell me about their trip to Mexico?
I can tell you that it gets crazy.
I can’t tell you too much, but I can tell you that it’s coming.
What do you feel is James' motivation to solve Emily’s murder?
Obviously he cares about Walker, but I would imagine he and Emily were also friends.
Yeah, we’ve done some flashback stuff that you’ll see later on in the season.
I’d imagine putting the wrong person away is going to weigh on him.
I think the only salvation here is that this guy was saying that he did it.
Why would someone do that?
I feel like each episode there’s a moment.
They’re doing a really good job of that.
Then also just giving it the heart.
My daughter was saying she feels like she wants to be there for the family.
Walkerairs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
