Less than a week the mid-season finale of Fear the Walking Dead, there is already one popular fan theory over the fate of Madison.
Since Madison isn’t technically seen dying at the baseball stadium, some fans are holding out hope for her survival.
The interesting thing though is that some believe she’ll come back on TWD as none other than Alpha.

For those not familiar with Alpha, she is the leader of a group called the Whisperers, who became the next big antagonists for the group post-Negan in TWD comics.
The Whisperers are also largely believed to be the next threat on the show for season 9.
To be fair, this wouldn’t be the first time TWD universe falsely led audiences to believe a character’s death. Of course, the less said about the whole dumpster fiasco the better.
With that said, this is likely to be wishful thinking on the part of the fans. Even so, why would they want this to happen?
Fear the Walking Dead fans have been understandably upset at her demise but it’s was still a decently handled death scene. Those have been in rather short supply from TWD universe lately.
From a creative standpoint, bringing her back just feels like a bad idea. It would void any emotional impact the death scene gave in the first place. Also, it just seems like it would harm her legacy as a character purely for the sake of giving the sinking ship that is the main show yet another gimmick.
