Kayla won’t go down without a fight. In fact, she has a powerful heart-to-heart with Joey urging him not to turn himself in to the police.
Mama Bear Unleashed
“I was beside myself in those scenes,” remembers Evans. “My mother bear came out so strongly. I was almost growling… just a mom wanting to protect her son.
“Kayla so wants Joey to hear her and not [confess],” Evans continues. “It’s almost like she has to get between Joey and Steve and not let Joey even look at his father. She’s like, ‘Focus on me and what I’m telling you, right now. You can’t do this. You don’t know what prison is going to be like. This will ruin your life.’
“Meanwhile, Steve is going, ‘Why are you telling him not to do this?’ It’s a really tough situation.”
Giving In and Moving On
In the end, Kayla may have no choice in the matter, as Joey will be the one to ultimately decide his fate.
“Kayla would do anything to spare her son from doing time,” notes Evans. “If she could take him off to a hollow tree and go live with him there, she would. She wants to protect him at all costs. But, at some point she’s going to have to acquiesce.”
As to how the aftermath of it all will affect Steve and Kayla as a couple, Evans admits that there will be repercussions.
“Fortunately, they have a strong marriage and are so connected,” she says. “But this is a big problem and it’s really upsetting, so they’re going to have to work through it.”
