Who Plays Yancy’s Secret Wife in ‘Ransom Canyon’? Finale Details Revealed
[Warning: This post contains MAJOR spoilers for Ransom Canyon Season 1.]
Yancy Grey (Jack Schumacher) has some explaining to do. The man walked into the small Texas town looking to shake things up, and he certainly did in Ransom Canyon‘s first season.
The handsome drifter is the son of the late Lincoln Fuller, Cap Fuller’s (James Brolin) only son. Yancy forges a bond with Cap over the course of the season. He also meets Ellie Estevez (Marianly Tejada), a local who helps watch over Cap. Yancy and Ellie fall fast and hard for each other, and Yancy proposes to Ellie after Cap’s sudden death.
In the Season 1 finale, Yancy prepares for his wedding to Ellie, while she works a party at Gracie’s Dance Hall ahead of Quinn (Minka Kelly) leaving for New York. At the dance hall, Ellie crosses paths with a stranger, who happens to be Yancy’s secret wife. The woman’s face isn’t shown, which has every Ransom Canyon fan asking: Who plays Yancy’s wife?
Ransom Canyon showrunner April Blair revealed surprising details about Yancy’s wife. “Little tidbit: My friend, who was the lead actress on my very first show, Jane By Design, the girl who played Jane [Erica Dasher], was visiting me and on set, and I was like, ‘Oh, do you want to be the back of Yancy’s wife’s head?’ Her head made a cameo,” Blair said.
The executive producer explained that there was a specific reason why we only saw the back of Yancy’s wife’s head. “We weren’t at the place where we were ready to cast that yet, and we wanted to also add a little air of mystery, but definitely a Season 2 would answer that very quickly, and we find out what was behind Yancy’s lie and all that,” Blair teased.
She also hinted that Yancy might have some competition for Ellie’s heart in a Season 2. Blair revealed that a love triangle between Yancy, Ellie, and Kai (Justin Johnson Cortez) is something she’d “like to explore” next season.
