'Orphan Black' Season 4 Spoilers: Is Delphine Alive?
A character is expected to play a big role in the upcoming season of "Orphan Black."
The previous season of "Orphan Black" last saw Delphine, played by Evelyn Brochu, accepting her fate after she was shot in a parking lot. With that, fans have been wondering if she will be returning to the series, while other have already assumed that she had died.
However, the creator of the series, Graeme Manson, was able to reassure fans about the character's fate. He revealed that Delphine could have survived the gunshot. He stated, "Where did she get hit? In the liver? I'm not sure that's fatal."
With his statement, fans can rest easy knowing that she will be back for "Orphan Black" season 4. However, co-creator John Fawcett seemed to have hinted otherwise. He explained that the series will be taking a vital turn because of her death, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
He stated, "I know this will be upsetting to many fans but the story in our minds has always been a tragic love story. Listen, I didn't want to say one way or the other. For us, I believe this is a horrible thing that had to happen. And I know that it's hard and I know that it's emotional and I know there are going to be a lot of people out there going "WHY?!?" But trust me, this was a necessary move to make. And its necessary in Cosima's story and it's necessary going forward in subsequent seasons — in season 4 and season 5."
While neither could really confirm if Delphine will be alive in the upcoming season, it is evident that she will be playing a major role in the series dead or alive.
"Orphan Black" season 4 will premiere on BBC America in spring of 2016.
