Beyond that, though, it’s all to play for because just as Cole goes in for a kiss we see that Alex has been listening to their conversation the entire time, further complicating things. In case you need a refresher, he and Jackie had been sneakily dating this season, with her also telling Alex that she was in love with him too just a few episodes prior.

“I can’t even imagine their next conversation,” Rodriguez said in an interview with Tudum. Mood.

“It took a lot of work for me to be like, ‘OK, well, why would she say these things to both people, and what is she going through?’ she continues. Given Jackie suddenly losing her family, we feel like we can cut her some slack for being romantically confused by everything she has going on.

In another interview with Teen Vogue Rodriguez also explained “I understand why Jackie is conflicted because it’s tough, right? Like team Cole and team Alex. They’re both so great in different ways. I understand why people are split. Alex is so sweet and caring and he’s just so sensitive and kind. Then Cole is like that passionate type that you have to peel back the layers.”

Ultimately, she added, “I always say team Jackie because she needs to follow her heart and her dreams and she deserves to be happy.”

The second season also leaves what has happened to the boys’ father George (Marc Blucas) ambiguous. The whole love confession between Jackie and Cole is interrupted by the boys’ older brother Will (Johnny Link) arriving on an ATV along with ambulances and the news that something has happened to George. It remains to be seen exactly what, but it doesn’t sound great.

In terms of what else we can expect from My Life With The Walter Boys season 3, the show’s creator Melanie Halsall is also keen to develop the MLWTWB world beyond the love triangle. In an interview with Tudum she said “I love the teenage stories and what we do with those characters. But I think we have a lot of potential to tell stories that are intergenerational. I’d love to be able to do more of that in season 3.”
