In the midst of Charley’s issues with the men on the show, Queen Sugar has introduced Romero (Walter Perez) when the two met outside of a club. Though she said that she can’t trust anyone, do you think there’s potential for something more? Even if he’s just a companion?

Gardner: Well, the beautiful thing about Romero is that he’s completely outside of the rest of her life. He’s outside of the drama happening with the Landrys, outside of her family. No one knows him. I think that she’s at least able to exhale in a way that I don’t know if she’s able to exhale around anyone else. That’s such a relief I think for the audience to exhale with her for a moment [Laughs.] I very much feel there’s a possibility there because he shows up. He’s someone who doesn’t need anything from her. I don’t know if she’s experienced that to this degree. I think with Remy that was the case as well but he was so much so involved with the land and her family and her father. So, this is someone who’s really outside all of that and truly is simply just showing up and that’s what he does. I think that there’s a possibility there for sure and he ain’t bad to look at [Laughs.]
