Summary
Even before he wasrevealed as the Hyde Monster, Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) made an impression onWednesdayfans. Evenfans who don’t think Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) should have a love interestcouldn’t help but find Tyler to be endearing and compelling. Wednesday and Tyler become fast friends as neither one fits in, and even though Wednesday is used to being on her own, she forms some important connections when she begins attending Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega saida darkerWednesdayseason 2 is on the wayand that her beloved character won’t have any romantic plotlines. But even though Wednesday and Tyler won’t go on any dates or attend any school dances together, are they going to remain friends, orcould they experience conflict inWednesdayseason 2?
Could Wednesday Season 2 Pit Wednesday And Tyler Against Each Other?
If Tyler Galpin isn’t Wednesday Addams’s love interest inWednesdayseason 2, does that mean that they could spend the season fighting? Although it’s possible thatTyler’s main second season storylinecould be teaming up with Wednesday and assisting her asshe finds her stalker,what if Tyler was the stalker?This would be a big, fun, and exciting twist that would feel satisfying. Since it looks like, based onthe teaser for the new episodes, Tyler is spending time at a hospital called Willow Hill, perhaps Tyler is working with someone who is a Nevermore Academy student or teacher. Maybe he wants toget revenge on Wednesday for outing him as the Hyde Monster in season 1.
There is another possibility for Tyler’s season 2 character arc: what if hepretends to be the villain and thenreveals himself to be a kind character in the end?Maybe Tyler works with Wednesday’s stalker and pretends to be evil so he can help and protect Wednesday. Maybe he still considers her a good friend and feels badly about hurting people as the Hyde Monster. Since Tyler is used to keeping secrets, it’s possible to imagine him doing this. Tyler also knows that Mrs. Thornhill/Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci) was in charge of him in the first season, and he might carry around a lot of guilt and regret.
PerhapstheWednesdayseason 2 finale could feature a Wednesday/Tyler battleand she could figure out once and for all if Tyler is her friend or her foe. Depending on how this fight ends, this could lead toa great storyline forWednesdayseason 3. Maybe Tyler will run away from Willow Hill, change back into the Hyde Monster, and at the last minute, decide to lean into his evil side. That would be a fun twist that would make for a mysterious and intriguing third season as Wednesday wouldn’t know who to trust. It’s also possible that Tyler could get killed and then a potential third season could see Wednesday grieving the loss of her friend and wondering how to move forward.
MaybeWednesdayseason 2 will reveala group of Hyde Monsters who go after Wednesday and other Nevermore studentssuch as Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers). It would also be cool if someAddams Family characters like Cousin Ittmake cameos or bigger appearances in order to help Wednesday fight these creatures. Whether or not Tyler wants to embrace his good or dark side, it would be fun to see monsters circling Nevermore Academy.
Hunter Doohan Commented On Tyler’s Wednesday Season 1 Arc
In a 2022 interview withDigital Spy,Hunter Doohan talked about what could have happened to Tyler GalpinwhenWednesdayseason 1 concluded. He said:
“I do think he escaped at the end. When I read that on the page, I was so excited. I was like: ‘Come on, don’t be dead, don’t be dead.’ I think he was being controlled by Miss Thornhill, and then he had to go manipulate Wednesday to carry out their plan. And I think he did a pretty good job with it.”
Since Tyler is coming back for the second season and the teaser showed him at Willow Hill, he’s definitely still alive. It remains to be seen whether he will make it out of Willow Hill or remain there throughout the whole season. While it will be fun to seeif Lady Gaga performs at Nevermore Academyand what her character is like in general, fans also look forward to seeing what’s coming up for Tyler Galpin.
