All American is far more than just a high school sports drama. The series depicts the dangers of gang life, the disparity between the haves and have nots, and the systemic discrimination that Spencer James must overcome in addition to excelling on the football field. In fact, All American is probably the most political of the CW series, being unafraid to tackle tough issues faced in Black communities in the present day.

Through his time on and off the field, Spencer finds solace and inspiration from friends, family members, lovers, teammates, and others who care to see him succeed at the highest level. While everyone has a role that they fit into on the show, there are moments when characters say things that go against type, which leads to some more nuanced and interesting character growth.

Spencer James

“Thank You For Being Patient With Me”

What makes Spencer James such a strong athlete is mental toughness, supreme confidence, and unwavering ability to stand his ground. This also makes him a bit stubborn, prideful, and defensive much of the time, rarely letting his true emotions out and expressing his true feelings. He rarely expresses gratitude or apologizes, which is quite understandable given his hardscrabble upbringing.

In of his most candid and emotionally vulnerable moments, Spencer delivers the line to the only person he can: Olivia. As two of the best characters on the show, Olivia is the only person Spencer can truly confide in and share his most intimate feelings with, and his heartfelt gratitude for her profound friendship comes as a pleasant surprise that makes his character far more likable.

Tamia Cooper

“Hope Sucks. I Don’t Know How Many Times I Have To Learn That Lesson”

One of the most meaningful bonds on the show is the relationship between Spencer and his childhood friend Tamia “Coop” Cooper (Bre-Z), a talented rapper who constantly encourages Spencer to take his chance, follow his dream, and be the best he can be. However, not even Coop is immune from feeling down.

In a quote that drastically betrays her normally uplifting attitude, Tamia infers to Asher that she’s losing faith and tired of being optimistic. If Spencer heard her say this, he would almost certainly cheer her up and give her positive advice in the way she constantly does for him.

Layla Keating

“Maybe It’s Better For Everybody If Go Back To Pretending Everything’s Fine”

Layla Keating (Greta Onieogou) was the most popular girl at Beverly Hills High who struggles to mask her profound unhappiness. She has attempted to take her own life more than once yet rebounds to become a self-empowered music mogul, managing Coop and Patience’s music careers. Once she overcomes her depression, Layla becomes a confident self-starter who will not be denied success by anyone.

Yet, in a down moment, Layla relays the cry for help to Olivia by feeling sorry for herself and entertaining the notion of going back to her secretive unhappy ways. Of course, as a true friend, Olivia is having none of this and encourages Layla to press on. Layla’s entire arc registers as one of the times the show tackled deep issues.

Olivia Baker

“I’m Tired Of Living In This Beverly Hills Bubble While The Rest Of The World Crumbles Around Us”

As Spencer’s extremely likable childhood friend who has dedicated her life to getting sober and empowering the Black community, Olivia Baker (Samantha Logan) hosts the “Liv the Truth” podcast that helps her foster positive change. Smart, kind, and eternally optimistic, even Olivia has here moments of doubt.

In a quote that underscores the exhaustion of fighting against the system, Olivia confides to her father Billy that sometimes it’s just too much to deal with. This is very true when so many of her friends from Crenshaw are victimized by gangland violence. While she ultimately rebounds and continues her societal mission, Olivia has an understandable moment of feeling overwhelmed.

Jordan Baker

“Look, Man. I Know This Can’t Be Easy For You. Playing Here, With Us. And I Just Want You To Know That I Know That”

One of the best football players on the show, starting Beverly Hills High quarterback Jordan Baker (Michael Evans Behling) is introduced as the main rival of Spencer James who feels threatened when his father, Billy Baker, recruits Spencer to challenge for the position. Feeling threatened and insecure, Jordan treats Spencer with cruelty from the moment he meets him until one key scene on a team bus.

In a quote that not only goes against his brash demeanor but also begins a meaningful bond between both young men, Jordan finally embraces Spencer as a teammate, lets him know that he sympathizes with his plight, and vows to be a friend moving forward.

Billy Baker

“I’m Proud Of You, Son. All American.”

Spencer and his Crenshaw High coach Billy Baker have one of the most complex relationships on the show, often butting heads and failing to see eye to eye. As a former NFL player who sees himself in the potential Spencer has, Billy often pushes the star athlete to be the best he can be on and off the field. As such, he can be stern, tough, and quite stoic.

Yet, the veneer of tight-lipped toughness is shattered during one of the most emotionally resonant scenes in the show when Coach Baker finally lets his guard down and gives Spencer the warm and welcoming words he needs to hear. After Baker says this, Spencer embraces him as a father figure.

Darnell Hayes

“I Made The Mistake Of Thinking I Finally Found A Home. I Should Have Known Better. Home Is A Myth.”

One of the biggest dramatic arcs on All American comes when Spencer learns his estranged father Corey has been raising a boy named Darnell Hayes (Da’Vinchi) as his own. As such, Darnell and Corey become extremely close, with the young man finally finding a safe and welcoming home. However, all that changes when Corey suddenly passes and leaves Darnell feeling lost.

In a moment of grief and despair, Darnell utters a defeatist line that goes against his normally positive personality. The moment marks a major turning point as Spencer, Dillon, and Grace welcome Darnell into their home for good and reverse the negative sentiment.

Asher Adams

“Don’t Let It Fester. Whatever it is. You Love Her, So Talk To Her.”

Asher Adams (Cody Christian) is a hotshot star wide receiver for Beverly Hills High who exudes brash moxie, supreme confidence, and an immature devil may care attitude. Once his cardiomyopathy diagnosis ends his football career, his perspective changes so much that he’s able to impart sage advice to Patience.

In one of his most genuine, mature, and serious moments on the show, Asher gives Patience the wisdom to continue working out her relationship with Coop. The quote not only betrays Asher’s capricious nature but also underscores the very advice he needed to overcome his devastating medical diagnosis the season prior.
