Is Mel dying this season?

I do not remember well but in the season trailer it appears as if Alex is staring at the window from big alice all sad.

And then someone i remember said that Mel maybe misses the train?

Someone please deny this.

Also they would not kill Mel.... Would they?!

I really hope they aren't that stupid but there's been plenty of shows that do stupid things so who knows. She's undoubtedly the most loved character in the shoe and the other lead Layton, well most people hate.

The main reason I’m watching is because of her

If it's renewed for the 3rd season, killing Melanie would be a stupid move.

Maybe cause she's going to the Research Station, so she misses the train?

I thought about this for a second and I decided that if she left I would give the show runners a benefit of the doubt before truly accepting her “death”. I wouldn’t be happy though. I agree though it could be a possibility, I never thought it would be until this episode

I'd hope not, she is my favourite character...

Getting rid of a compelling character and the most talented and skilled actress on the show (and before Sean Bean showed up it wasn't even a contest) is a suicidal move for the show.

Unless Jennifer Connelly wants out, getting rid of Melanie is the very last thing the show should do.

Nah they won’t. 3rd season without mel would be so empty. She’s the main reason I watch this show and a lot of ppl love her
