How ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Can Explain Xavier Thorpe’s Absence?

The upcoming season of ‘Wednesday’ faces a unique challenge in explaining the absence of Percy Hynes White’s character, Xavier Thorpe. Given the allegations against White, his return to the show is unlikely. 

However, the show’s creators must find a way to address this character’s disappearance without leaving fans hanging. So, let’s look at some ways the show can deal with Xavier’s absence. 

Xavier Thorpe’s Absence Could Be Explained In Several Ways

The most straightforward approach would be to have Xavier transfer to another boarding school. This explanation is both logical and keeps to the show’s supernatural elements. Moreover, it would also provide a quick resolution to the question of his whereabouts.

So, the shift to the new mysteries and challenges facing Wednesday and her peers would be smooth. Additionally, Xavier’s absence could also provide an opportunity to delve deeper into Wednesday’s relationship with Enid Sinclair. 

Their dynamic, characterized by their contrasting personalities, has proven to be a fan favorite. Xavier’s departure could also serve as a reminder of the inherent dangers of attending Nevermore Academy. While the school may embrace those who are different, it’s important to acknowledge that it’s not a completely safe environment. 

Xavier’s Absence Could Also Help In Avoiding The Love Triangle

The absence of Xavier also presents an opportunity to avoid the potential pitfalls of a love triangle between Wednesday, Xavier, and Tyler Galpin. Such a plotline could have distracted from the main narrative and created unnecessary complications.

Moreover, while many TV series often revolve around romantic plotlines, ‘Wednesday’ season 2 would benefit from a departure from this trope. Fans of the show are more interested in the character’s development and the witty, dark humor that defines the series.

Additionally, introducing a new love interest or continuing the budding relationship with Tyler would be a distraction from the main narrative. Moreover, Xavier Thorpe’s absence won’t be a significant loss for the show. While his character added a certain dynamic, his departure allows for greater focus on the ensemble cast.
