We’ll be seeing a lot more of Odette Annable on Walker in season two!
The hit new CW series is still in it’s first season, but it was just revealed this week that the actress has been promoted to a full time, series regular role, according to Deadline.
Odette plays Geri, who is the bartender at a local bar called the Side Step, and is described as “an old friend of Walker and his late wife, Emily, who hasn’t seen Walker since Emily’s funeral. It’s clear that she and Walker have a history — a friendship and a shared tragedy.â€
Without giving too much away if you’re not all caught up, but in the last episode aired, it looks like there might be some sparks lighting up for Geri and Cordell (Jared Padalecki)!
Walker was a smash hit when it first premiered, and not only received an early season two pickup, but it also received five additional episodes, bringing it’s season one total to 18.
The show has been on a brief hiatus the past couple of weeks, but will return with an all new episode next Thursday (May 6) at 8pm on The CW.
In case you missed it, see what Jared Padalecki shared that he and his wife Genevieve sometimes do when they both have to work on the show on the same day.
Jared Padalecki is giving fans a first look teaser at his upcoming new show Walker!

“It’s been a long road to get here, but it has my entire heart. I hope you join us on January 21st for the premiere of @thecwwalker. #SPNFamily meet the #WalkerFamily,” he captioned the clip.
The teaser also features Jared‘s real life wife Genevieve, who portrays his late wife in the series, Odette Annable, Lindsay Morgan and Keegan Allen.
The new show is a reimagining of the long-running series Walker, Texas Ranger, and follows Jared as Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two with his own moral code, who returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home.
Walker premieres on Thursday, January 21st at 8pm ET/PT on The CW, the same time slot that Supernatural aired.
