'All American: Homecoming' Star Explains Simone's Big Love Triangle Decision

‘All American: Homecoming’ star Geffri Maya and showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll talk to Us Weekly about Simone’s big season 3 choice

For Carroll — who is the showrunner of both Homecoming and the flagship All American — there was “never any other choice” than for Simone ( Geffri Maya) to explore a romance with Damon ( Peyton Alex Smith) and “determine for herself is this end game [or] just an important chapter of [her] life that [she] had to go through?” After the season 2 finale left fans with a major cliffhanger, the Monday, July 8, premiere revealed that Simone’s long standing love triangle came to an end when she chose to be with Damon over newcomer Lando ( Martin Bobb-Semple). What happens with Simone, Lando and Damon in the new chapter of their lives remains to be seen — Smith will only be appearing as a recurring guest star this season, while Bobb-Semple has been upgraded to series regular — but Maya ensured Us that fans shouldn’t be so sure they know how the story is going to unfold.
