dana bethune

michonne changed her name to "dana bethune" in towl, right? they've never used a name randomly, so i looked the name up and found a man, norman bethune. appearently, he was an important surgeon back in the day.

he also developed a mobile blood-transfusion service in the spanish civil war. blood-transfusion? spain? 👀

there's also a scottish surname, beaton, that sometimes pronounced as bethune. it belongs to a medical family lived in scotland in the past.

it's quite a coincidence that we saw beth last as a nurse, and then michonne chose a surname that has connections to multiple people in the medicine field in real world.

also, in season 5 or 6, tara confuses denise's name with dana.

denise, who has to become the official doctor of alexandria, is the first dana we've ever heard actually. maybe beth also has to undertake the role of a nurse or a doctor after grady, again.

it seems dana is a name in a few different languages, and they're all related to daniel.

michonne chose the name dana willingly, but denise refused it. michonne lived, denise died. daniels live, others die lol

lucky names 🍀

has anyone talked about this before? hope not.

alba -> she was the chosen for la ofrenda, she somehow got away, so she was lucky.

carl -> carl was shot by otis. however, rick and the others could magically find a farm in the middle of nowhere and a vet. carl was also lucky.

rick -> do i need to say anything? man survived an explosion.

what is the common factor in all these names? they all have four letters. luck has four letters, finding a four-leaf clover is considered as being lucky. i don’t say every character who has a name with four letters is lucky, but there is one other character who most likely is: beth.

shane to rick in season one:

short 'n sweet (thoughts) pt.8

this is from dead city, season one.

pearlie was protecting the letter from his brother in his boot. if guessed it correctly, the group was also trying to protect beth by putting her body inside a boot.

boot (trunk) of a car lmao

i digged up the name codron a little bit.

i wrote about how different wars might have played role in daryl dixon through all the seasons we've watched so far, and world war ii was one of them.

look at this and tell me you don't see a spider web.

i wrote about the sculpture "maman" here and then these creepy dolls suddenly made sense lol

Don't know about you but my TD antennas are up and focused! So excited!

Hi!!!

Okay so many exciting things happening! Honestly have to pinch myself with we will be getting our girl back.

Emily being back on set is honestly so iconic!! This franchise needs that familiarity of the Golden Era to bring us back!! Beth was in that golden era of team family!! 💗☺️

Praying she is back for good and what everyone thinks will be an AU in Maggie’s mind will because a reality when they actually Find Beth ALIVE!!

I was just curious your take on a complete hypothetical of course haha but if Maggie were to find Beth alive (which we know she will 🤓🤪) but if she were to find Beth alive and Beth with a partner and children… I’m just wondering how that would play out? If Beth had found someone had a little family then bam Beth is reunited with Maggie who tells her Daryl is still with their group.

Just wondering how you think that scenario would play out. The odds maybe being good that Beth could have had a baby or “babies” with someone else. Wondering if that wound make for a rekindling with layered emotions of her wanting to be with Daryl but still having obligations to her own family….

How do you think that would play out? What do you think the odds are that Beth would have a spouse and children when Maggie finds her? How do you think Daryl would react? 🥹🤣

Kind of a gut punch maybe? Haha sorry these are super random maybe hard to answer but I’m just to excited to see our girl again! Love your channel as always love all the positive content you put into the world! Thank youuu

Thank you so much for your DM!

I was pretty sure the ask was addressed to @twdmusicboxmystery (I’m tagging her so she’ll be able to see your ask either way - she’s the holy grail of TD analysis), but I just wanted to be sure🤣. Either way, of course I’m more than delighted to share some thoughts, because this is such an interesting topic! 😊

I’m honestly still trying to process the fact that Emily is back on set because it still feels surreal after all these years.

As for your question, I do actually think there are certain parts of the plot that could support the possibility of Beth having had a child, but maybe not necessarily a long-term partner or a stable family unit.

One thing that has always stood out to me is back in Season 3 when Beth tells Carol that she always wanted to have children of her own. That feels very intentional because it is such a specific dream for the writers to give her. She is also constantly surrounded by children throughout the show. In the midseason finale of Season 4, she stays behind with Daryl instead of getting on the bus because she goes looking for the children first to make sure they are safe. That protective, maternal instinct has always been there with her.

Then in Season 4, there is that scene with Beth, Michonne, and Judith where Beth sings to Judith and says there is no word for a parent who loses a child. That line always felt important to me, especially because in the DD spinoff we hear a very similar line repeated again about there being no word for a parent who loses a child. It makes me wonder if that could be some kind of narrative clue that Beth may eventually have a child she loses, either through death or separation.

What makes me less convinced about a spouse or long-term romantic partner is that the show has repeatedly framed Beth’s relationships in a way that circles back to Daryl. In Season 4, we are introduced to Zack as Beth’s boyfriend, but he dies almost immediately. Then in the very next episode, Daryl ends up with Zack’s car. Symbolically, that always felt meaningful to me: something that belonged to Zack is now Daryl’s. You could even argue the same thing happens with Beth. She was Zack’s girlfriend, but after his death, Beth and Daryl become much closer emotionally.

You can even connect the symbolism further because Zack’s car eventually gets stuck in the walker horde, and Daryl and the others are forced to leave it behind. TD has always believed Beth may have been lost in a very similar way: left behind in a car trunk because of a massive walker horde, possibly the same “800 walkers” Greg Nicotero mentioned. If that theory is true, then the car symbolism becomes even stronger because both Zack’s car and Beth would have been temporarily abandoned, but not necessarily gone forever.

Another thing that really stood out to me was the El Alcázar / La Ofrenda sequence in Season 3 of the DD spinoff. If you remember, Daryl enters El Alcázar wearing a mask, and we see women being offered to men, all dressed in different colors. The girls in yellow and pink are the ones who are not chosen. That immediately made me think of the music box because of the yellow and pink colors. Since the music box is tied to Beth, then maybe the symbolism is that she was not “picked” or chosen by a man as a husband or long term spouse, maybe because of her scars, trauma, or feeling damaged or overlooked after everything she went through.

So, personally, I think there is a decent chance she could have had a child or children (possibly not biologically hers) because so much time has passed and motherhood has always been part of her story. But I am less convinced that she would have a husband or a perfect family situation. I think it would be more tragic and layered than that. If Daryl came back into her life after all those years, I think there would still be a very strong emotional connection there, but also a lot of pain over everything they lost.

I hope this answer made sense! I was really happy to share my thoughts because this is such an interesting topic to think about, and there are so many little details and parallels to consider...

I really can’t wait to see how all of this will play out!!! 💗
