What has actor Luke James said about The Chi Season 7?

In an interview with The Direct, actor Luke James talked about how Season 7 will explore his character Victor (Trig):

"I'm really interested in fleshing out [Trig's] duality. I know we're hinting at it. We're talking about it within the first half and the second half of Season 6. ''

He added:

''In Season 7, I'd like to see him get a hold of that duality knowing that, trying to be--being this image in the day but also having to be this figure at night. I just think it would just be fun to play with and something different that I haven't done yet. I think it'd be a really cool move, hopefully, to move the story forward."

Season 6 showed new character arcs that will be explored in Season 7. Kevin left the city to go after his dreams, which would be a high point in Season 7.

Jake took over his pad, and his life will also take a new turn in the following season, with him trying to make something of his own. In addition, tensions surrounding his relationship with Jemma will also be explored in the upcoming season.
