History WMG / PennyDreadful

* = [[spoiler: "A Blade Of Grass" seems to have jossed the idea that Vanessa's demon is a manifestation of either one of them, as Amunet basically tells them ''both'' to fuck off and die when they try to seduce an institutionalized Vanessa.]]

* [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDoctorJekyllAndMrHyde Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde]]

Malcolm may have ''already'' brought Sembene home to Senegal, then traveled to East Africa in order to retrieve his son's body and bring it back to England as he'd once planned to. However, when he found himself back in the region where he'd gone exploring in decades past, the place had changed so much for the worse that he got terribly depressed, and ended up drowning his sorrows in seedy taverns instead. He wound up in Zanzibar thinking to catch a ship for home from there, but never actually bought one because he was too depressed.

* [[spoiler: Or we're seeing elements of his evil side now, which will ''become'' Hyde when he starts playing ProfessorGuineaPig. Once that happens, the aspect of him that continues to answer to the name "Jekyll" will be left a much better person, morally, and be repulsed by his own prior misbehavior; unfortunately, without his bitterness or anger he'll no longer have the drive to defeat his other self.]]

[[spoiler: In the two episodes we've seen him in (as of May 9th), Jekyll has been doing some ''seriously'' nasty things, chief of which being planning to brainwash Lily so she can essentially be Victor's love slave. Given how, in the story, Hyde was steadily supplanting Jekyll, and we know that by the time he is introduced in the show, Jekyll has already been performing his experiments, it would make sense if it was revealed that he had already used himself as a test subject and is now either fully taken over by Hyde, or is starting to be.]]

** [[spoiler: Jossed. Dracula is played by Christian Camargo.]]

Either Ralph Fiennes or Daniel Craig. The amount of Bond actors in the show, plus the creative team from [[Skyfall]] being involved means that the Count would likely be played by someone big.

As a child, obviously.

* Sembene could also serve as a new magical tutor to Vanessa, teaching her alternative forms of magic.

* Sembene could also serve as a new magical tutor to Vanessa, teaching alternative forms of magic.

Sembene will also serve as a new magical "teacher" to Vanessa, teaching her new forms of magic, now that she is forsaken by god and her magical abilities might take a hit.

Because he's [[Series/Hannibal already playing]] a Dracula/Satan-esque character with aplomb, and he's already shared the screen with Eva Green in ''Film/CasinoRoyale''.

* A new love interest for Vanessa. (Sure, he's middle-aged, plain, and disabled, but TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside, and given that "perfect" beauty is associated with wicked-to-the-bone Dorian and Lily, it would be a beautiful contrast if Vanessa found new hope for her future in someone like Rusk.)

* A new love interest for Vanessa.

* Had a past with monsters and that's how he ''really'' lost that arm!
* A {{Vampire}}, WolfMan, or other shapeshifting creature...but '''good'''!
* A NobleDemon!
* An angel, and ''not'' the fallen kind!
* The real Wolf of God in a ProphecyTwist!
* A magic user (can be white or black)!
* The reincarnation of someone who figures into the prophecy! His old body might be mummified, peacefully moldering in the British Museum, which would allow a mummy to be part of the story in a sideways manner. (Creator/DouglasHodge is Caucasian, so he can't turn out to actually ''be'' a mummy such as [[Film/TheMummy1932 Imhotep]].)
* An OccultDetective!
* TheHunter!
* A new love interest for Vanessa!
* EvilAllAlong -- perhaps another form of The Master -- and thus TheMole on Team Dreadful! Bonus: Given that Dorian and Lily are expected to serve as the BigBad of the Season 3 arc, having him turn out to be the BiggerBad would be a great twist.
* Alternatively, he's any of the above ''but doesn't know it yet!''
* Or he will become possessed!

Just because everybody says/thinks so doesn't make it true.
