TV Fanatic chatted with Sara about Valeria’s previous secrets and techniques, her shut relationship with Isobel, and if Valeria’s secrets and techniques will harm the McMurrays.
Check out the interview under:
Hi Sara. I really like Valeria. She’s develop into certainly one of my favourite characters on Ride. What are a few of your favourite issues about taking part in her?
There are so many issues. First of all, she appears to be good at all the pieces. She has many expertise, and they present up all through the season. In Ride Season 1 Episode 4, we noticed her as an skilled poker participant. Since she has many expertise, I realized extra expertise.
I realized how you can play poker from knowledgeable. I bought to learn to shuffle playing cards professionally. That was enjoyable.
She’s additionally advanced and layered, and as an actor, I’m allowed to pour quite a lot of myself and my expertise into her. She’s a thriller. I’m filling in all these areas between, and it has been a inventive journey for me as an actor.
Are we ever going to be taught what Austin requested of Valeria and why she needed to depart for a 12 months?
Oh, we completely will be taught. You must maintain watching to search out out.
I find it irresistible. That flashback on the finish of Ride Season 1 Episode 4 shocked everybody. What is the reality about Valeria’s household?
I can not inform you an excessive amount of, however from the clip we noticed, Valeria is definitely from a really rich Latin highly effective household, which is unimaginable for me to play. Her mom was sick, and we are able to deduce that issues did not go fairly effectively for her in her childhood, and one way or the other, she ended up with the McMurrays.
We nonetheless want to determine how that occurred. But we all know she comes from a outstanding and influential household, so she may assist save the ranch. You’ll have to look at it.
Do we all know why Valeria got here to the McMurrays initially?
All can be revealed.
Okay. I really like how Isabel has principally adopted Valeria. Isabel’s relationships with each Valeria and Missy have been my favorites.
Oh, thanks a lot. That’s so form to listen to. It’s a degree of satisfaction for Nancy Travis, Tiera Skovbye, and myself. These girls are robust, resilient girls who weren’t blood-related however turned bonded as a result of they selected to, and they proceed to decide on one another regardless of errors or losses.
In society, generally we see grief, sadly, tearing aside households. In this case, it introduced them again collectively, which is a stupendous story to inform as a result of we’re stronger collectively than we’re alone.
That’s evident within the Missy and Isabel, and Valeria story storyline.
Is that belief going to be shattered by Valeria’s secrets and techniques? Was Tuff proper to not belief her?
Oh, you are hitting all the great questions. Ultimately Valeria has good intentions. She is an intensely loyal and loving one who would do something for the McMurrays. Despite her unorthodox method, there is a deep goodness in her. The McMurrays will see that as effectively.
Valeria has very totally different relationships with Tuff and Cash. How do you navigate every of these?
This forged is so proficient. Beau Mirchoff is an unimaginable actor, and his work method differs from Jake Foy’s. Jake can also be a inventive, proficient actor, and each of them deliver a lot nuance to their characters, however in several methods.
It’s terrific working and studying from each of them. Valeria and Tuff have this friction brewing, and Valeria and Cash have extra of this unstated understanding that some issues occur in life that does not essentially must be laid out on the desk.
They bond over their shared trauma and are affected person with one another. Since Cash has been gone so lengthy within the Military, that is the primary time they’re reconnecting as adults and attending to know one another, and we’ll see the place that bond leads.
Valeria and Tuff have been first like buddies. They have been thick as thieves, virtually like twins. When she left, it actually harm Tuff. In Ride Season 1 Episode 5, we see some friction coming to a head and a number of the unstated harm being mentioned.
Tuff will get to say his piece, and Val, sadly, has to take it as a result of she did make a mistake. I’m very excited for individuals to look at this subsequent episode. It’s certainly one of my favorites. The dynamics between the forged are unimaginable, and there’s a lot pressure.
I can not wait to see that. Will we see Valeria compete once more? She talked about it earlier within the season.
We will see her do some barrel race motion later within the season. I’m excited for individuals to see that.
Ooh, I can not wait. And, uh, what about romance? Are we going to see any prospects for Valeria?
This present is filled with romance, so they will not depart Val out. There’s positively one thing brewing on the horizon. We’ll get a really feel for it after Ride Season 1 Episode 5. As the season progresses, we’ll see a bit spice for her.
What else are you able to tease for Valeria for the remainder of the season that the followers can sit up for?
Val is an enigma, and she is going to proceed that thread all through the season.
She’s a thriller by and by and has plenty of twists and turns. Even once we really feel like we have figured all of it out, I assure there can be one other twist. So, strap in for the Ride.
New episodes of Ride Season 1 air at 9/8c on Sundays on the Hallmark Channel.
