My Life With the Walter Boys Season 3: All the major stars returning as Netflix adds 3 new recurring cast members

No Jackie Howard, no My Life with the Walter Boys. That’s why Nikki Rodriguez coming back for Season 3 wasn't exactly a surprise. After spending much of Season 2 secretly dating Alex, the finale completely turned the love triangle on its head. Cole finally admitted his feelings, telling Jackie, “I thought you felt the same way, but if I’m wrong, then just...just say it.” Jackie didn't leave him hanging, replying, “I love you.” Yep, she said it back. With those three little words, the already messy love triangle just got a whole lot more complicated heading into Season 3.

If Jackie is back, you know Cole isn't going anywhere either. Noah LaLonde is returning for Season 3 after Cole dropped the biggest bombshell in the Season 2 finale by finally confessing his feelings to Jackie. Now that those emotions are out in the open, fans are eager to see what happens next for the pair. Looking back on that scene, LaLonde told Tudum, “There is such a payoff in getting to say those things out loud. These words only come with frustration because they’ve been kept inside this jar of secrecy for so long.” 

Would it really be a love triangle without Alex? Not a chance. Ashby Gentry is returning for Season 3, and after that jaw-dropping Season 2 finale, he has plenty to deal with. Just as Cole and Jackie were about to kiss following their love confession, the show revealed that Alex had been listening to the entire conversation. Yikes. Speaking to Netflix's Tudum, Gentry shared his take on the moment, saying, “My read is that Alex knows that she loves Cole the whole time—but obviously, people have different opinions on that.” So yeah, Season 3 is walking into one seriously awkward situation.

Season 3 isn't just bringing back familiar faces, it’s also adding some fresh ones. Chad Rook, who fans may recognize from IT: Welcome to Derry and Joe Pickett, is joining My Life with the Walter Boys as Mac. According to Netflix, Mac is a “cool drag racer” who hires Cole to work on one of his race cars. After watching Cole take the car out for a spin, he's impressed by his “natural skills behind the wheel.” Looks like Cole could have a new opportunity waiting for him, both on and off the track.

Naveen Paddock is also hopping aboard My Life with the Walter Boys Season 3 as Eliot, after appearing in The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers and Anything's Possible. Netflix calls him “handsome and charming” with “an air of New York sophistication.” He's also Uncle Richard's new intern, but that's not the part that'll grab fans' attention. His arrival in Silver Falls puts Jackie in “a tug-of-war between her old life and her new one.” Uh-oh… Jackie already has Cole and Alex to figure out. Is Season 3 about to turn this love triangle into a full-on love square?

Another newcomer shaking things up is Erin Karpluk, who joins Season 3 as Hannah. You may have seen her in Being Erica, Smoke, or All My Husband's Wives. Netflix describes Hannah as George's sister and the mother of Isaac and Lee, calling her “free-spirited or irresponsible as hell.” After leaving her sons with the Walters and disappearing, she suddenly returns years later with “a lot of bridges to rebuild.” Sounds like someone has a whole lot of explaining to do.
