The Walking Dead season 9 spoilers: Will Lydia betray mother Alpha?

Will Lydia betray Alpha in The Walking Dead season 9?

WARNING: The following contains spoilers from The Walking Dead season 9.

The Walking Dead continues this week on FOX in the UK and AMC in the USA with season nine, episode 11, Bounty.

Alpha had confronted Daryl, Tara (Alanna Masterson) and the rest of Hilltop at the end of episode 10, Omega, after they took her daughter Lydia.

AMC and FOX viewers now think Lydia could betray her mother in the upcoming episodes, and, while plot details surrounding their relationship are being kept under wraps, there are a few clues to suggest this will be the case.

THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 10 RELEASE DATE, CAST, TRAILER, PLOT

In The Walking Dead comic book series, Lydia turns her back on her mother in order to start a life with the Community.

Lydia is in a relationship with Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) in the comics but, because of the character’s death in season eight of the AMC series, looks likely to start a romance with Henry (Matt Lintz) on-screen instead.

The Walking Dead viewers have already witnessed Lydia open up to Henry about life with The Whisperers, all within earshot of Daryl.

In creator Robert Kirkman’s comic series, Lydia is forced to go back to The Whisperers when Alpha arrives at Hilltop.

However, after persistence by Carl and after he sees how poorly Lydia’s treated by her mother, Alpha disowns her and allows her to embark on a life with the Community.

All of this is part of a ploy by Alpha and The Whisperers to kill a number of the Community members, including Rosita (Cristina Serratos) and Ezekiel (Khary Payton), however.

Lydia is interrogated by Michonne in the comics about her part in the murders but, as she maintains her innocence, is ultimately allowed to stay.

It’s likely the AMC series will follow a similar narrative set out in the comic book series and Lydia will end up betraying her mother.

The Walking Dead fans will have to continue to tune in to each episode when it airs to find out for definite, though.
