The Emma-Jordi-Leo triangle gets intense on tonight’s episode of Red Band Society, which is titled “Ergo, Ego” and airs at 9PM ET on FOX.
We spoke with actor Nolan Sotillo (Jordi) on set last week for some teasers of what to expect.
“I’m throwing a punch at someone that doesn’t have a leg. That’s a pretty good teaser, I think,” he says. “I feel like, for Jordi specifically, he’s starting to discover he is, and you start to see different sides of him that maybe you weren’t aware of on the first couple of episodes.”
“Either way, it’s going to hurt somebody, and it’s going to make somebody extremely happy,” he says of the final outcome. It might not be the end of a friendship for Jordi and Leo, but it’ll be an uphill climb. “I feel like there’s a trust that you have to build, especially after hitting somebody. He doesn’t have a leg. It’s a bad thing to do. I mean, I’m pretty much adding injury to insult, rather than insult to injury, because I get to keep my leg. He doesn’t. But he thinks, at first, that it’s a good thing for me, and that I’m fine all of the sudden. It turns out that it’s worse. But then I end up hitting him. But I feel like that just comes from immaturity, being kind of a street kid and growing up by himself; teaching himself to be something in the world,” Nolan says.
You can see our video interview with Nolan Sotillo below, where he also talks about Jordi’s reaction to what happened with his mom, and what challenges face him, including chemo and doing “whatever it takes” to go on. He also talks about Bella Thorne’s upcoming guest shot, and teases that there will be some music involved in her episode. Enjoy the interview video below, and our apologies for the wind muffling one of the answers. If you want to see some preview images from tonight’s show, you can find them below the video.
