Geffri Maya, the star of All American: Homecoming, has opened up about Simone’s decision in the season 3 premiere. The previous season ended with Simone having to choose between Damon and Lando. In the new season, she picks Damon.
Speaking with Deadline, Maya, who plays Simone, explained why she chose Damon. She admits she was surprised but believes the dynamics between their characters will be interesting. Despite the choice, the pair are separated by the end. Here’s what Maya had to say:
“So what’s so funny about [showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll] and [executive producer] Marqui [Jackson] is that they loved this little love triangle so much so that they wanted us to be excited [too].
It was a fun topic to always discuss and to play with, and we know how much the fans are so invested in this love triangle.
So when I found out — I had my guesses from seasons ago, when I knew that it was gonna be this love triangle. I was actually very surprised because I had all of the components to be very clear about what I thought my choice is going to be.
But it’s… keeping the show light-hearted and being a part of what the fans love the most, which is the drama. I think that whoever ships Damon and Simone, they won. I think it’s gonna be pretty exciting to see how the rest of the season plays out for these characters.
