The Handmaid’s Tale fans ‘work out’ Aunt Lydia survival clue

This Morning: Janine Lindo discusses Handmaid's Tale future

Hulu’s dystopian drama The Handmaid’s Tale took viewers by storm after it first premiered in 2017. 

The acclaimed series followed June Osborne (played by Elisabeth Moss) as she was held captive after Gilead ruled over the United States following a civil war. 

The totalitarian patriarchal state controlled women’s reproductive freedom and forced fertile women, including June, to become handmaids. 

Before she was placed in the Waterford household and forced to become a surrogate, the former editor was schooled at the Red Center. 

There she met fellow captive Janine Lindo (Madeline Brewer) and evil disciplinarian Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd). 

Using her electrocution wand Lydia forced the handmaids into submission and indoctrinated them into Gilead’s belief system.

However, Lydia was met with resistance from Janine who laughed and swore in her face. 

This enraged the disciplinarian who decided the make Janine an example and took out her eye as punishment. 

As the upcoming sixth season has been confirmed as the final instalment of the series, fans are eager to see if Janine will finally get revenge on Lydia.

As u/susupaw69 teased: “Aunt Lydia has a huge character development coming and she’s turning into one of my favourite characters she’s very complex I love her.”

However, a fed-up u/IAmTheLizardQueen666 hit back: “Ok, but eventually, she gotta get got.”
