The thing that Strand is best at is recognizing the current currency and knowing what can he exploit. "We're going to see Strand going back in the con man mode. Here's what the showrunner had to say about Strand, teasing that he will be trying to exploit the "current currency" of this new world. But it's going to be dark for a while before we see any semblance of light."ĭave Erickson also hinted that Strand (Colman Domingo) will be ditching the kinder persona fans saw in Season 2, and shift back to the character we saw in the first season. So we're going to conflate some backstory with present day story and really get to the bottom of who Madison Clark is and how she relates to her family. We've danced around with Madison specifically as to her backstory, who she is, what is her history, what makes her able to kill Celia last season, and it has a lot to do with who she was before the apocalypse, even before Los Angeles. She sees the ability to manipulate, and in so doing, she sees a way to protect her family. She's very quick to realize that there are a lot of advantages to this place. When she sees the landscape of this new group that they meet, she's very quick to determine what the pros and cons are. But she also made mistakes and she let herself be driven by her love for her son. Here's what Dave Erickson had to say about Madison. The showrunner also teases that she will find a way to manipulate an unnamed character from the militia to gain control in her situation. He's the king of his domain, and his intention is to create a new nation in his own mold."ĭave Erickson also teased that fans should expect a much different Madison (Kim Dickens) this season, who will evolve to become a leader. They didn't expect the rise of the dead, but they definitely anticipated the fall of democracy. Here's what Dave Erickson had to say about this group, and its leader. ( Dayton Callie), the leader of the militia group that has captured the entire family when Season 3 begins. Of course, Dave Erickson wouldn't divulge when and where Daniel Salazar will make his return, but his return could come at an opportune time for Ofelia, who was captured by an American with an assault rifle in the 14th episode of Season 2, with the official synopsis for this season revealing that, "Ofelia's captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father." The man who captured Ofelia is Jeremiah Otto Sr. So I think his return is now long overdue and I can promise that Daniel Salazar will rise again over the course of the season." And I think what was always important is that the characters, specifically Ofelia, thought that they had lost him. "We've said publicly that he didn't die in the fire. Here's what Dave Erickson had to say below. However, Dave Erickson revealed that he thought it was important that characters like his daughter Ofelia (Mercedes Mason) thought he had died in the fire. We last saw Daniel Salazar in the seventh episode of Season 2, where he set an entire Mexican compound on fire and was seemingly killed in the blaze.
