Who plays Joe in Ginny & Georgia?
Now that the Netflix coming-of-age dramedy/thriller has returned after a year-and-a half, it's time to get reacquainted with the Ginny & Georgia cast—especially considering it's not easy to keep track of faces from the past and present.
Years ago, Joe crossed paths with Georgia Miller, and now he's resurfaced upon her family's move to Wellsbury. How does he fit into her life, exactly, and how does he cope with all that's going on? ("Who did Georgia kill in Ginny & Georgia" and "Does Georgia go to jail" are two pertinent questions right about now.)
Before we catch up with this small-town resident and grab a cup of coffee at Joe's Blue Farm Café, we'll need to recap.
Young Georgia (Nikki Roumel) first meets young Joe (Yatharth Bhatt) while traveling with a biker gang. They come into contact at a rest stop, where they chat about their hopes for the future, which is how the idea of Wellsbury is planted into Georgia's head in the first place.
Fast forward 15+ years: adult Georgia (Brianne Howey) and Joe (Raymond Ablack) reunite as his coffee shop in the Massachusetts town and pick up from there. Although there's definitely a sense of comfort between the two, they don't revisit the past, especially since Georgia is attached to Paul, her husband-to-be (though things are a little complicated between the two come that shocking Ginny & Georgia ending.)
Plenty of fans were suspecting some sort of romantic encounter, given their past and comfort with one another. However, a few things get in the way, but we still love to see their connection.
"It's fun for me to play Georgia around him because she lets her guard down a little bit. And like she says, she doesn't feel judged by him. And I don't know if there's anything more beautiful than that," Howey revealed to Entertainment Weekly about Ablack's character.
