There seems to be a few too many characters left on the board leading into the final season of Bates Motel.
As much as I like Dylan, Romero, Emma, Chick, etc ... I think it would be epic if Norman disposes of them before the end of the show while Lila, Sam and Arbogast are investigating the Bates family history.
I'd hate it if Emma, Dylan and Romero simply replaced Lila, Sam and Arbogast.
As long as Marion is killed, like the way she was in the movie, i'm not bothered.
shareI agree. Arguably the most important thing about the Marion Crane character is her death scene. If they're reintroducing her for this generation they should do it properly. Stabbed. Shower. THAT character probably won't work without THAT scene.
shareI don't think Sam and Lila are even characters in season five. If they were going to be cast, we would've heard about it by now. I think Marion is either gay or bi and is seeing that Madeliene Loomis character (some article was calling her a "Norma doppelganger"). I think the Sam and Lila roles will either be Dylan and Emma or Dylan and Madeliene.
I think Alex will be long gone by the show's climax and the new sheriff will start getting suspicious of Norman and have some role in taking him down. I don't think Arbogast will be a character. We already have three new characters that we know of. More than that would feel like a completely different show and I don't see them doing that.
I am definitely going to be interested in seeing just how everything plays out in Season 5, because Detective Chambers seemed suspicious of some of the things Norman was saying in the S4 finale. Plus she saw Norman kicking the TV when she first pulled up to talk to him, and knows that he was in a mental institution.
