AI MAKES THE PICTURES, REAL HUMANS MAKE THE SOUNDS!!! by Eric van Aro
So apparently, I’m from that old generation — you know, the one that actually had the balls to walk onto a stage, sweat a little, and present live material to an audience that came to listen and watch what a performer of pop or jazz had to give. Wild concept, I know. Unfortunately, if I were to go back on stage today, I’d basically be working for cellphones. And I have absolutely nothing in common with a cellphone. Nothing. I don't know how to communicate with one, and frankly, it doesn't seem interested in me either. So yes — I’ve retired from public performances. Not because I can’t play. But because I really don’t like competing with a glowing rectangle for your attention. But then… as everybody — me not excluded — has to go with the times… we’ll be working with AI to conjure up some interesting videos. Based on traditional, professional, actual human music-making. Because if you can’t beat the algorithm, you might as well get it to carry your gear.

Red was always playing an imposter. It's possible that they had a backup THIRD MAN plan. But definitely NOT her father.
Replying to a reddit post... ⬇️
Well, there are 10 seasons of CLUES everywhere in every season, so it's a lot. But yes, it was pretty much confirmed. No, they didn't say it out loud (They don't have to, though, because it wasn't necessary to say it out loud since the show and scenes spoke for themselves.)
Red was playing an Imposter the whole time. https://katarinas-redemption.tumblr.com/post/690595006563647488/imposter-missing-scene-from-season-5-that
The showrunner Jon Bokenkamp confirmed he was playing an Imposter since Day 1. He confirms James Spader knew. https://ew.com/tv/2018/05/16/blacklist-raymond-reddington-imposter-season-6-spoilers/

Redarina was indirectly revealed in Season 4. If you put together all the clues from episode 4.02, 408, and 4.17. Not to mention all of Daniel Cerone's tweets. He inadvertently kind of revealed the mystery in the entire show by way of his tweets. He later deleted the one where he said "Bam, and he's telling the truth"! (Red: Yes, Elizabeth is my Daughter.
Redarina was indirectly revealed in episode 8.02 with the Fakerina arc.
Fakerina had been searching for the real Katarina, and her search STOPPED as soon as Dom told her *everything*. She stopped looking for the truth and made a beeline for Red. She called Heidegger:
Katarina: I have the identity of N-13.
Heidegger: You’re N-13.
Katarina: No. But I know who is. And I’m willing to give you his name in exchange for my safety.
Red confirms he's N-13. Ivan confirms that Katarina is N-13. https://katarinas-redemption.tumblr.com/search/ivan#
The exchange between Red and Faker is cryptic and ambiguous, but it's all there. "Because if they were chasing me, they weren't chasing you".
“And now I know why. Because if they were chasing me, it meant they weren’t chasing you.”
At first, Fakerina believed Red was the real RR. Then she learned he was an imposter, but didn't know who he was. Then, finally, after Dom told her his identity (Fakerina: She doesn't know who YOU are. She also determined that he was being hunted. Only one person was being chased... Katarina Rostova. RR was also a fugitive, according to what ppl thought, but Faker learned he wasn't the real RR.
The Blacklist STAFF confirms Red's identity.

The clues dropped in episode 8.21 and 8.22 were more than enough to conclude Red's true identity is Katarina Rostova. Episode 8.21 is Red's backstory. It indirectly confirms his identity to the viewers (in visuals, sounds, music, and dialogue). Episode 8.22 is Liz's revelation, where she finally realizes who Red is as she lies dying. https://katarinas-redemption.tumblr.com/reveal
In the episode Nachalo, Redarina is revealed in the 1st 5 minutes if one is paying attention. Red tells Liz it was only him, her, AND THE TRUTH. He sets off to tell her how "the story you need to hear it's all connected, YOU, ME, YOUR MOTHER." Then they keep slapping you over the head throughout the episode that Red is Katarina.
Yes, people on the show confirmed it, even though the show SPEAKS for itself.
"No doubt writers keep changing stuff along the way. After all when you write a TV show you don’t know if you’ll keep the actor, or even going on at all.
My personal grip with the third man theory is that we don’t have the faintest clue on who is it and especially, why it has this creepy obsession for Liz then. No confirmed brother of Kat, no other trustworthy ally, nothing. And it also implies Kat is truly death, otherwise she did absolutely nothing to help her daughter through the shitstorm of her life."
She actually did something to help her daughter. She successfully changed her daughter's identity from Masha to Elizabeth Keen. She did the same for her mother. Once Liz was with Sam, Red (Katarina) kept tabs on her from afar. She danced in ballet and lived an otherwise normal life. She graduated from Quantico at the top of her class. After Red surrendered, he was able to protect her from the baddies. He would've stayed two steps ahead and kept Liz safe had Liz not been killed off. But that's cause Megan Boone decided to depart the show.
The show does imply Katarina is dead (Red; Lizzie, your mother is dead), but also he said "she was never seen again," "KR died in 1990," "walked into the water and was never seen again". And then Red also apologizes for sacrificing the woman to save the child. The implication is that he did something to her. And Dom blames him outright for his daughter's death. Dom also says, "What really happened to Katarina? Some people want to keep it a secret." He says sorry to Katarina in Cape May.
