![“A Love Letter to Bodiela Fans”: ‘Fire Country’ Showrunner Isn’t Done With Your Favorite Ship Just Yet [Exclusive]](https://news2.watchtowatch.top/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/fire-country-bode-and-gabriella-on-call.jpg)
Well, don’t be too sure about that. According to Napolitano, who spoke with Collider’s
“We really wanted to write a love letter to Bodiela fans. Their love has been such an important part of the show. It was such an important part of the pilot. She’s been such an important part of our show and Bode’s life that we wanted to honor that and give the audience this little window of exactly what those scenes are, which is them in pajamas on the couch.
And, while they may not be together right now, Napolitano certainly isn’t using definitive words like “never” when it comes to what the future holds for the pair. When asked whether Bode and Gabriela could be endgame, she said,
With all the back-and-forth dynamics playing out between Bode and Gabriela during the show’s run, it seemed like both characters were finding happiness with other partners in
“Audrey will return to Edgewater and will really be someone that Bode leans on. She’s someone that’s got his number. He has those pills in the final moments of the show. Brett Richards is going to be someone who’s under his skin. He’s dealing with the grief of losing his father. Audrey will really rise to the occasion to be someone who can keep him in line, keep him fighting, and keep him fighting to follow his better angels. In the fight for Bode’s soul, I think she’s really going to be a force for good that will make us root for them as a couple.”
Quick on the heels of famously sassy, phrase-turning R&B singer and reality TV star Tamar Braxton’s announcement her recently released album, “Bluebird of Happiness,” will be her last — at least for a while — and news that her husband, music executive husband Vincent Herbert, founder of Streamline Records, was legally ordered to pay Sony more than $3.7 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2013 advance, the couple hoisted their grandly proportioned and glamorously appointed Mediterranean mansion in Calabasas, Calif., up for sale at $15 million.
The Herbert-Braxtons, married in late 2007 after about five years together, purchased the 13,716-square-foot mansion inside the double-gated Estates at The Oaks enclave in April 2013 for $10.5 million and public records show since then there have been several notices of default filed and subsequently canceled against the two-acre spread that provides a total of seven bedrooms and nine full and two half bathrooms between the main house and poolside guesthouse.
Wrought iron and glass front doors open to an entry vestibule and foyer with black and white floral-patterned inlaid floor and a floating, wrought iron railed staircase that curves up to the bedrooms on the second floor. The main living and entertaining space makes a great sweep across the rear of the residence with gleaming wide-plank hardwood floors laid in a classy chevron pattern.
A central gallery with glossy grand piano is flanked to one side by a lounge with semi-circular sofa in front of an ornate fireplace and to the other by a “champagne bar” modeled after The Dorchester Hotel in London with tufted velvet sofas and a stately wood-paneled ceiling.
Arched French doors open the vast space to an immense, stone-paved loggia with retractable canvas shade awnings and a bowling alley-length dining table that easily seats at least two-dozen al fresco diners. With elaborately carved cabinetry, granite countertops and a super-sized commercial-style range under a hand-hammered copper hood, the kitchen is open to a spacious informal dining area that, in turn, opens to a family room with fireplace and French doors to the backyard.
The three-story mansion’s creature comfort also include a home theater, a game room, an office, a wine cellar with tasting room and, unsurprisingly, a recording studio along with an elevator, an camera-equipped security system, a gentlemen’s lounge with authentic barber chair, a mirror-walled gym and a subterranean parking garage that will accommodate over a dozen cars. The mansion makes a U-shaped embrace around a broad and grassy courtyard with swimming pool and spa beyond which a soccer pitch-sized lawn gives way to a panoramic view over rugged ravines and undeveloped mountaintops.
Some of the other, equally sized and similarly luxurious estates in The Estates sections of The Oaks are owned by reality television’s Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine Jackson, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Jay McGraw, elder son of extraordinarily well-compensated TV therapist Dr. Phil McGraw, and his Playboy model wife Erica Dahm.
