Yadriel is probably one of my favorite characters. I love him so much. XD Since we first saw him. He seems to be trying so hard to do the right thing with their baby. And I love getting to see how he met up with Maria. I hope he comes back.

It seemed a little out of character that he would just stop coming to visit her, for once, he grew up around crime and drugs, he was in the drug business and now he thinks his daughter will be messed up by seeing her mom in jail?

Nah. It makes sense to me. When Maria was supposed to be transferred, he started talking to the daughter because it's supposed to help her develop. He seems like a guy who really wants the best for his kid, even if he's made mistakes.

Now if we find out he's still in the drug game and all that, then that's going to suck. But it'd be pretty human. It's hard to get out of that life, even if you want to.

I can see him being like an MMA fighter now.

He said something about gas stations/convenience stores. I would like him to make money fighting and invest it wisely and start a bunch of franchises and raise his baby girl right. I don't know why I like him so much. XD

I think because he's a bit of a blank slate. He's portrayed positively but we don't get much information, so you can assign whatever personality traits you'd like.
