Things We Know... Amber has her child - the child being born where we last saw her and bray, in the farm house on the out skirts of the city (click right pic for larger picture). Salene returns - victoria spence (who plays salene) has signed on to do series 4, she will return, but it is not known who she returns with. Pre tribal stories - there will be more pre tribal stories, about what happened/development of character before the virus, these new pre tribe stories may involve the new tribe (techno tribe)... New Characters... Many new characters are set to join series 4, meryl cassie (ebony) will have her sisters accompanying her in series four, this may be for some sort of pretribal story about Ebony and her family?... Also there will be a new character called 'Dee', played by an english actress. Tribeworld have been confirming which cast members are going to return, (which is the only news they can give out at the moment), basically we can assume the return of all the mall rats I reckon, but I'm not sure about the Guardian/Luke... Possible Plotlines... Adults exist. This would be a major storyline and probably the most exciting. If adults exist, the kids would have to decide whether they really want them, if they don't they'll rid of them (bump of the adults?), the kids now rule the city, they don't want to live under a dictatorship where adults rule over them. The kids have managed without adults for a long time. Adult existence can also be seen as a threat. Ebony is now the leader of the city, she would have another struggle on her hands, a struggle to keep the city hers. Virus returning. This is a good storyline, the return of the virus. Although it is somewhat repetitive. We saw the virus return in series 1 where children caught it and it returned in series 2 where Lex caught it again after he took the antidote. The virus has already mutated twice, it began to effect kids and than effected those who have already been treated against it... so whats stopping the virus from mutating again? Series 3 saw the virus storyline cease its existence, it was no longer a threat. Zoot returning. This is very highly unlikely. What is unlikely is that Zoot will return in the flesh. Lets face it Zoot is dead and long gone, he was burnt, as he was sent out to sea... Zoot has apparently been spotted on the outskirts of the city. Where the new virus appeared. The only rational explanation to people seeing Zoot is that the virus is making them hallucinate? Either way Zoot will allways live, he was dead yet he appeared in all three series... The legend will without a doubt live on... Return of old faces. Patsy and Ryan seem likely to return, it seems as if Raymond Thompson made a hastey decision and decided that Patsy didn't die after all, he now says she was sent to the mines. Ryan has been seen by Pony Joe and Salene is looking for Ryan too. So Patsy and Ryan are the likeliest candidates too return. It would be interesting to bring back other familiar faces such as Sasha, Paul and Danni... anything is possible! Maybe Patsy comes back with her little brother Paul? Removal of old faces. Main characters have to die. It's inevetible. Series 1, Zoot was killed off, Series 2 Zandra was buried, Series 3 Dal was bumped (or rather more jumped) off. All these characters appeared in every episode from the first episode of the tribe to the episode they died in. Death allows plots such as vengance/reincarnation etc to arise. So who'll be axed of in series 4 will be exciting to find out! Some members of the cast may find they have to move on. Michelle Ang for example has enhanced her career as she is to feature in the last ever episode of the worldwide phonomena, Xena Warrior Princess. So, whether its Lex, Ebony, Bray, Trudy or even TaiSan to be buried, without a doubt it'd be a fun and memorable death! ... I'm sure the Techno Tribe will have a field day given a machette and a few Mall Rats... Killing a Mall Rat will enhance a bad reputation, it'll make people fear, and the higher the Mall Rat's position is, the better. Lets hope the Techno Tribe choose their victim carefully... back to top of page [visit tribeworld for the latest series 4 goss] pics are edited from those belonging to and released by Cloud9 Ltd & Channel5 UK
