Major spoilers for the rest of Fringe’s second season!
We’ve already seen alt-universe versions of Broyles (Lance Reddick) and Charlie (Kirk Acevedo), and we know Peter (Joshua Jackson) comes from the other side. But what about alt-Olivia or alt-Walter (or “Walternate,” as Jackson calls him)?
“I have that question as well,” Torv tells us. “I’m hoping that there is [an alt-Olivia]. But then I don’t know … which I would prefer if she ends up coming. I don’t know if I would prefer her to be just, like, fractionally off. … I would love to see … she’s completely, you know, 180 [degrees different]. … My pitch would be, and I think that’s what a lot of people are saying, too, … with the discovery of the fact that the Peter here is clearly not from here, then it makes sense that maybe the Walter over there is angry with the Walter here, and that’s kind of the whole thing behind [the Pattern]. But I don’t know. They do sometimes surprise. Sometimes they put these clues in and then they flip it on its head and you’ve been wrong all along. But that’s where I’m going.”
……
Will Olivia meet and confront the Observer?
Yes. “There’s an episode coming up that is called ‘August,’ and it sort of deals with the Observer,” Torv says. “It’s a really, really beautiful, beautiful episode, actually, so I won’t say anything more, but that’s actually very soon. Yeah.”
