The Adventures of John B. and the Pogues in external banks Sometimes they can feel suspended above reality as they participate in treasure hunts that sometimes reach levels of danger and surprise similar to those of a Indiana Jones movie. Beneath the big action and surprising twists, however, lurk a host of recognizable characters, and this season Chase Stokes, who plays John B., revealed the very personal reason he truly bonded with the frontman. of the Pogues during filming. . Season 3 of OBX extension .
After the season 2 finale, when we discovered that John B.’s father, Big John, was indeed alive, it became clear that while the new season will feature the Pogues en route to El Dorado , the father-son relationship will be at the center of the story. In an interview with uh Stokes spoke about the main character’s trajectory in the final season of external banks, and how his father would play a role in it. In addition to the fact that this relationship has had a profound impact on the show, Stokes has spoken candidly about how she might connect personally with John B. this season, due to his experiences with her family. The actor said:
Coming from a family where my mother has been divorced twice, I felt that disconnect from a father figure a lot, so it was kind of a deep dive on a personal level that connected on a professional level. This season, for me, is an ode to growing through the pain of never going through it, so there were a lot of therapeutic moments during filming where John B and I really connected on a lot of different levels. Reliving it was difficult, of course, but [it’s] a year of growth for me, and John B experimenting to finally become the best version of himself at the end of this season.
During the first two seasons of external banks we watched John B. struggle with the idea that his father might be dead. Now that he’s alive, it will be interesting to see how their relationship develops and how the young character with his father evolves in his life. To hear that Stokes can relate to the central challenge his character faces throughout the series, and to know that the actor was able to find some sort of catharsis in living John B.’s story is very touching.
I know one of the greats questions i had about season 3 of external banks it revolved around John B.’s relationship with his father. So to hear how important John B.’s father is among the external banks to discard this season, and knowing how personal it is for Stokes, I am very excited to see how the next chapter in the Pogues story unfolds.
