Will specific Yellowstone character join the Rip and Beth spinoff? Let’s find out

The backbone of Yellowstone. It’s no surprise fans were over the moon when news of their spinoff broke after the Season 5 finale. But lets be real every great story needs a solid supporting cast. For me, the big question wasn’t just about Rip and Beth but also who else might be saddling up for this new chapter.

Lloyd Instagram Post That Set the Stage

Forrie J. Smith, cowboy hat perfectly angled, speaking directly into the camera, Yellowstone vest proudly on display. Now, this is not just any New Year’s post; it is a heartfelt tribute to his late friend, Sammy Thurman Brackenbury, a legend in the barrel-racing world.

But then, like a true pro at leaving us hanging, Forrie dropped a hint about Yellowstone’future that left me spiraling in the best way possible. He said:

“The story isn’t over yet. Let’s see what the future brings.”

Cue the mental fireworks. Was this just a general comment, or was he subtly teasing that Lloyd might show up in the Rip and Beth spinoff? I mean, come on this is Lloyd we’re talking about.

Why Lloyd Deserves a Spot in the Spinoff

Lloyd is not just a side character; he is the glue of the bunkhouse. He is like that one uncle at family gatherings who seen it all, said little, but somehow knows the answer to every problem.

1. His Bond with Rip–
   Rip and Lloyd go way back. Their relationship is built on trust, respect, and an unspoken understanding that they back each other no matter what. If Rip getting his own show, it feel downright wrong to leave Lloyd out. Plus, can you imagine the banter between these two in a spinoff? Comedy gold, I tell ya.
2. His Wisdom–
   Lloyd not just a cowboy; he is a philosopher on horseback. Sure, his advice sometimes sounds like it came straight out of an old Western film, but it works. Who else could guide Rip and Beth through the inevitable chaos they face?
3. His Connection to Carter–
   Speaking of Carter, Lloyd has played a subtle yet impactful role in the boy growth. The spinoff could dive deeper into this dynamic, giving us more of those heartwarming (and occasionally awkward) bonding moments.

Carter: The Wild Card

Speaking of Carter, let not forget the kid who been learning the ropes (literally and figuratively) from Rip and Beth. He is the wild card in this equation.

• A New Dynamic–
  Carter brings a youthful energy to the mix. Imagine him trying to keep up with Rip stoic toughness and Beth fiery personality. It is like throwing a puppy into a pack of wolves adorable, chaotic, and endlessly entertaining.
• Potential Storylines–
  Carter could be the perfect character to anchor some emotional moments. Whether it is him learning life lessons the hard way or proving his loyalty to Rip and Beth, his presence could add depth to the spinoff.

Forrie J. Smith TikTok Tease

If you’re still not convinced Lloyd might make the cut, let rewind to Forrie TikTok shoutout. In the video, he mentioned his late friend Ring and gave props to Taylor Sheridan for his storytelling brilliance.

He did not spill any secrets, but the way he talked about the Yellowstone universe felt… optimistic. Almost like he knows something we don’t.

What Could the Spinoff Look Like with Lloyd?

Here’s how you imagine it:

• Rip, Beth, and Lloyd: The Trio We Need–
  Lloyd could serve as the voice of reason (or at least attempt to) while Rip and Beth navigate their new challenges.
• Mentoring Carter–
  Lloyd and Rip teaching Carter the ways of the ranch could give us a blend of humor, heart, and a few “kids these days” rants from Lloyd.
• New Adventures–
  Whether it is dealing with rival ranchers, personal drama, or wild horses, Lloyd calm yet firm presence could be the perfect counterbalance to Rip and Beth’s fiery nature.

Wrapping It Up

While nothing set in stone, Forrie J. Smith recent comments have given me hope that Lloyd might just make the leap into the Rip and Beth spinoff. And honestly, wouldn’t that be the cherry on top?

So here is to dreaming big and hoping Taylor Sheridan hears our cowboy prayers. In the meantime, hi will be rewatching Yellowstone episodes and imagining the spinoff we all deserve complete with Lloyd, Rip, Beth, Carter, and enough drama to keep us hooked.
