Teen Wolf Season 3 Tuesdays M-Net Series Showcase 20:00

Teen Wolf (2011-current) fans are about to say goodbye to a hero and no one sees it coming. regarded as one of the most shocking Tv deaths of 2014, it’s adiós to hunter allison argent (crystal reed).

On 19 august, allison, Scott (Tyler posey), Stiles (dylan O’brien), isaac (daniel Sharman) and kira (arden cho) head to the abandoned Oak creek to find lydia and the nogitsune (a creature with bandages over its face) that’s holding lydia (holland roden) hostage. With help from an Oni demon army, our teens are ready to kill the nogitsune that’s also been possessing people throughout season 3. but things go horribly wrong very quickly.

KnocKing on heaven’s door

The nogitsune finds the last of the knives that are cursed and control the Oni army. it snaps the knife in two and suddenly has control over the army of hooded soldiers… and that’s when allison’s suddenly in the middle of an Oni army mess, only to be stabbed through the stomach by a soldier. as she collapses, Scott runs in to save his ex, who’s bleeding profusely. “it’s perfect,” allison tells Scott with her final breaths. “i’m in the arms of my first love.” and with those final laboured breaths, allison closes her eyes and dies. dead. finished. kaput.

BuT Why her?

To say that fans aren’t happy about allison dying is an understate­ment. and they used social media sites like Twitter and facebook to let the show’s producers know. couldn’t allison just leave beacon hills and return in a later season? according to Teen Wolf creator Jeff davis, that wasn’t an option – it was actually crystal’s decision to leave. “We’d debated it many different ways, actually,” Jeff explains. “This was more true to her character. allison’s not the kind of person who would just say, ‘Okay guys, i’m out of here.’”

crystal’s also added her two cents to the conversati­on. While filming episode 3 of the current season, she sat down with Jeff and asked to be written out. “i felt like, creatively, there were things i wanted to do differentl­y, i wanted to explore other Tv and film avenues,” the teary-eyed star told reporters at a Teen Wolf panel in June this year. She also says that age had some-thing to do with her decision. crystal is 29 and felt that she needed to break away from teenage allison fore more mature roles.

as heartbroke­n as fans are, no one’s struggled with this sad goodbye more than crystal herself. “it’s so hard for me to let go. and i went into, like, a week of mourning because a part of me left with a part of her. it’s so sad. i don’t know what to say.”
