I’ve been really hoping that we’d see a little bit more of Jack and Hope (Annette O’Toole), because it felt to me when the show started

— and we’ve met Jack’s mom now, but she’s down in Sacramento —that it was established that Hope and Jack had almost like a mother-son dynamic,

and I enjoyed that, but that never really went anywhere over the last few seasons.

So I’d love to see that develop because I just thought there’s something really sweet about that. And, to your point, Preacher, hopefully there’ll be some nice interactions between Jack and Preacher leading up to [Jack and Mel] getting married. Because I really love that friendship, and I just love Colin so much. He’s such a sweet, lovely guy. He’s so easy to work with.

And I think Preacher’s going to need someone to lean on with what’s going on right now in his life.

Absolutely. So yeah, I’d like to see those friendships strengthen a bit. Because that’s ultimately what the show is all about, right? It’s about community and people supporting each other and certainly in times of need, so I’m sure we’ll see more of that.

And I’m curious to see how the writers play out the Brady-Jack thing. I think Jack’s been burned by Brady so many times in Iraq in a serious manner, even though Jack took on the blame for that. He also knows that a lot of that loss that occurred was due to Brady’s insubordination and lack of respect. And when he came back, he stole from Jack and then he lied. So I feel like that relationship has been so fraught with hurt and betrayals that it’ll be interesting to see Jack negotiate this return of Brady and how he’s going to prove his good character, whilst now he’s embroiled in this relationship with Lark (Elise Gatien ) and she basically being a little proxy for Jimmy (Ian Tracey). It’s going to be really cool to see how all that plays out, too.
