#DEAD ISLAND 2 NEW CHARACTER SERIES#

If Troy is indeed back and with PADRE, Shrike’s experiments could reflect an evolution of Troy’s original zombie experiments in season 3. In the episode, he was using live subjects to find out how long it would take for an infected person to turn into a zombie. Although Troy wasn’t a scientist, he was shown to have a keen interest in understanding how the infection works. Upon his debut in Fear the Walking Dead season 3, Troy was performing his own tests related to the zombie virus. It’s worth noting that Troy shared a similar fascination. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time FTWD’s characters have encountered someone interested in zombie experimentation. To that end, Shrike conducted multiple radiation experiments to treat zombie bites. According to June, PADRE’s aim was to prevent infection. With oversight from PADRE scientist Shrike and assistance from June, the organization was researching the zombie virus. In Fear the Walking Dead season 8 episode 2, titled “Blue Jay,” Dwight and Sherry found out that June was a part of experiments conducted by PADRE.

Fear the Walking Dead found a way to walk back Madison’s original fate, but reversing Troy’s death would be an even greater challenge for the series.Īs ridiculous as the notion of Troy returning to the show may sound, the series just reinforced the theories with a key reveal regarding PADRE. If he did get out of there, he would have needed help. Even if Troy did somehow survive his head injuries – which feels extremely unlikely on its own – he wouldn’t have had much time to recover since he’d have to escape the dam without any delay.

Not only did he take two hard blows to the head with a hammer, but the dam was destroyed by Nick immediately afterward. Naturally, it would be difficult to justify bringing Troy back, especially when considering the nature of his death. The reveal that Madison came back from what looked like certain death has apparently made the possibility of Troy surviving blunt force trauma a bit more believable.

Giving fuel to them is the fact that Fear the Walking Dead already took back a massive character death when it brought Madison back into the fold. However, speculation that Troy has a secret presence in Fear the Walking Dead season 8 has remained strong.

If it’s true that Sharman was on set, this could just mean that Troy will appear in a flashback or a hallucination experienced by Madison. RELATED: Walking Dead Just Made Morgan's Alexandria Return Way More Likely
