You don't know that, you're just speculating. Alycia could have been contracted to come back for some parts of season 3 because otherwise it would have left her character just hanging in the air, it would be weird for her to pop her head in halfway between season 2 and then be like ok later losers and just disappear. It is so obvious that they never intended that to happen to a character they put so much work into. I'm a bit disappointed in Alycia because Lexa was such a powerful role model, not just a character on a tv show. People felt for Lexa, they were equals with her. But the same cannot be said for her character in FTWD who doesn't even half conjure the emotions that people felt for Lexa. Alicia Clark is not deep, not original and to be frank, not very well written. It's no wonder then that at any of these comic.cons, most people just want to talk to her about Lexa. If Alycia even read the script of Fear in advance she should have seen it coming. She moved for the money and more recognition, lets be real here. So I feel it was a bit of a cop out on her part because from my perspective, acting should mean more than living the high life in Hollywood, making lots of money. It's about sending a message, trying to change the way people look at things, trying to make people FEEL something. But she knew the 100 wouldn't bring in the dosh for her so when receiving a better offer that's all that mattered, she chose a lesser character to prove that. I would want Alycia to look me right in the eye and dare to tell me that she chose that role for the story and character over Lexa, I doubt she could do it. There are some actors in the past who turned down such huge roles because they preferred to stick to smaller ones that told a real story. Lexa told a real story and yet Alycia still deserted her. She wasn't brave enough to step up to the plate and BE someone we can all root for and believe in. Nowadays she wants to move on and talk about Alicia Clark and Fear although genuinely, there is nothing to talk about. And for that I am disappointed.

So please don't ask me to support her, I cannot bring myself to believe in something we no feeling and someone who values materials over taking the opportunity of actually making a difference in a role.

As for Lexa, I know that they had that little gathering but unlike Lincoln, her body was never burned (that we saw and as is custom) and we never saw it again after that. That could have been a mistake or like Jon Snow, a possible opening for a future potential revival. Who knows. But if Alycia gets killed off in Fear in the meantime, you know J Roth will be knocking on her door and my last straw of redemption for her would be if she said yes.
