Just because Tyler's relationship with Wednesday got even more complicated in season 2 doesn't mean there's no hope for the fictional couple - or Hunter Doohan's fan-favorite Wednesday character. "[Going into season 2], emotionally it was about figuring out where Tyler was. For me, it just felt like he had been totally abandoned by everyone," Doohan, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly about Tyler's state of mind while in Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. "Laurel had promised him all this stuff and was going to take care of him. Then he is just totally abandoned and basically feels like he's been left to die." The human-turned-Hyde spent the time between seasons 1 and 2 trying to "figure out some way to get out" before Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) walked back into his life. "For me, it was constantly him replaying what it might be if he saw Wednesday again," Doohan recalled. "So there's so much anticipation for him when she arrives in episode 2." 'Wednesday' Season 2 Part 1 Ending Explained: Who Died? Who Was the Killer? Tyler and Wednesday's reunion doesn't go as planned. After dating in season 1, the now-exes were left at an impasse when Wednesday realized he was at fault for the murders happening in town. Despite being at odds, Tyler still held out hope when crossing paths with Wednesday again. "To him, Tyler thought his whole life that his mom had just died and then he finds out she died because she was a Hyde and that had been hidden from him. Then Laurel obviously comes in and grooms him and blames the outcasts for his mom's death. Then he finally understands why his dad hates him because, for Tyler, he always wanted his dad's love and didn't understand why he treated him the way he did," Doohan explained. "So Wednesday felt like maybe the one person who - because she's Wednesday Addams - wouldn't be afraid of him and hate him for those parts of himself and might actually embrace it." Vlad Cioplea/Netflix As a result, seeing Wednesday again was "a really jarring moment" for Tyler. "You can see it in episode 2, the shift from the taunting in a flirty way and the way he is talking to her," he noted. "Then when he finds out she's just there for information, then it switches and he gets really angry because he's so hurt." Doohan isn't shutting the door on Tyler and Wednesday's romance though, adding, "Can anyone be too dark for Wednesday Addams?" Wednesday, which premiered in November 2022, introduced Us to a new version of the iconic Wednesday Addams character. Before Ortega took over as the moody and spooky teenager, Christina Ricci famously brought the character to life in several Addams Family films, which took inspiration from Edward Gorey's illustrations. The first season followed the titular character's attempts to master her psychic powers at Nevermore Academy while dealing with a killing spree, which is where Tyler fit in after a meet cute at a coffee shop. "Laurel and Tyler connected before season 1 started but it was not the plan for Wednesday to come into the coffee shop. Until she says her name in that scene, he doesn't know who that is," Doohan said ofwhen Tyler's interest in Wednesday started. "I do think that they have that initial spark of connection." Weyler!

He escaped when part 1 of season 2 came to an end - but not before killing Laurel (Ricci) for grooming then abandoning him. It also seemed like Tyler (as the Hyde) was responsible for Wednesday being thrown out the window in part 1. Doohan, however, pointed out to Us that there was a significant difference between how the Hyde reacted to Laurel and Wednesday. "I would say it was him [who threw Wednesday out]. But also we just saw him rip Laurel to shreds and he doesn't do that to Wednesday," the actor added before quipping, "Not that throwing someone out of a window is very nice." Helen Sloan/Netflix (C) 2025 Now that Tyler is out, there's no telling where the story will go. "We didn't want him to feel like just a villain. He has obviously done a lot of horrible things. But a lot of that was under someone else's control. Now that his master bond is weakening and he's locked away, there's just so much rage in him," Doohan teased. "But now in part 2, we're going to see what happens when he doesn't have a master. What I think is interesting is all the information Tyler knows about being a Hyde comes from Laurel. So she only told him what was beneficial to her - and so he doesn't know what's coming." According to Doohan, the "mystery gets so much bigger" the second half of the season, adding, "Tyler is so hurt and filled with rage and very unhinged. You'll see it gets even more unhinged when part 2 begins. You get to see a lot more of what's underneath." Doohan teased he was "very surprised" when he learned how those murders and their connection to Tyler came toget
