The 100 Promotes Tasya Teles (Echo) to Series Regular in Season 5 

The 100 Boss Explains Finale’s ‘Reboot’ Ending, Introduces Clarke’s Daughter(?) and Shares Major Season 5 Scoop

The polarizing character’s portrayer, Tasya Teles, has been promoted to series regular, TVGuide.com reports. Echo was last seen blasting off into space with Bellamy, Raven, etc. during Wednesday’s fourth season finale, “Praimfaya.”

Echo was first introduced as a prisoner in Mount Weather towards the end of The CW drama’s second season, and has maintained a tenuous connection to Clarke and Co. ever since. Despite being one of the “good” (or at least “better”) characters, Echo has been known to behave erratically, occasionally dipping her toe in the betrayal pond.

Most recently, she broke the rules of the conclave, shooting Ilian in the neck with an arrow — an act that forced Octavia to give her new friend (with benefits) a heartbreaking mercy kill. (Would Octavia have had to kill Ilian 

? Sure. But that doesn’t necessarily make Echo’s actions any less shady.)

taketh away, Season 4 said goodbye to several 

series regulars, including Devon Bostick (Jasper) and Zach McGowan (Roan). And as TVLine exclusively reported a few weeks ago, Isaiah Washington will not return full-time as Jaha.

I wonder if the actress playing Emori will be a regular too, same with Harper.

Upon reflecting on the finale, I made a sad realisation. When we next return to the bunker, Abby will be severely disabled. She wasn’t able to cure herself, as Raven never told her how to reverse the condition. Kane thought he was doing the right thing by saving her but the reality is, he’s just condemned her to live with the condition that will only worsen. I bet when Clarke finally reunites with her, Abby won’t even know who she is.

So glad, Echo is a regular now though! I just hope they do the same with Emori now too!

They dropped a line in the finale basically saying that at least Raven was able to tell Abby how to cure herself. I’m pretty sure Abby will be fine.

Who said this? I’ve rewound a few times and can’t see/hear that line anywhere!

Bellamy says it to Clarke at the 10ish minute mark when they’re talking on the balcony.

I just saw it. I don’t know what’s more depressing – the scenario I described or the fact that they so lazily dismissed a storyline like that! The whole thing was such an ordeal for Raven and then they just sweep it under the carpet in Abby’s regard. Still my favourite show though!

Also, why did they make a point of telling us that this new colony are nightbloods? I wonder if this means that any non-nightblood/ solar radiation people won’t be able to survive on the ground? Maybe by season 5, Echo will have solar radiation inside her because she’s… pregnant with Bellamy’s baby! Maybe the people in the bunker will need to harvest the blood of nightbloods…like a certain mountain! So many theories! This wait is going to be painful…

i have so many mixed feelings baout this character, cause i feel like she COULD be great, but instead all they do is use are as an obstacle for other people’s storylines. she was constantly messing with roan’s head, disagreeing with him at every turn, she betrayed the 13 clans by joining the fight, and i’m sure she’ll be used as a foil for bellarke now that she’s been in space with bellamy for over 6 years. i hope her becoming a regular means more will happen with her character now.

if they did this just to have a prominent azgeda character than they never should’ve killed off roan. still pissed about that one.

I thin you’re selling her a bit short! Sure, most of her storylines revolved around others (which is generally the role of supporting characters anyway) but she’s still managed to be a fierce and interesting character within those stories and in her own right. She self-actualizes all the time so it’s not like she’s just a storyline-puppet anyway. She also went a striking journey of growth since the day we met her. I’m excited to see her return!

I doubt that she’s just been promoted so that they can have a prominent Azgeda character because I don’t think individual clans matter anymore. Everybody is Wonkru now, regardless of what clan they came from. I suspect they’ll drop the whole 12 clans/flame/grounder mythology story now because they’ve all had to unite in the bunker and must all band together against the new threat.

I’m 99% sure we’re getting Becho next season. And there go my hopes of her dying.

I always thought there would be more of a chance for Raven/Bellamy in the future.

I’m sure space might change her but I two t be hard to forget how terrible she was before the time jump.

Wow, Harper, Miller and Emori should have been promoted before Echo/Becho. Oh well. I don’t hate Echo, she is interesting. I really dig Harper and Miller they are part of the original 100. Emori is shrewd one perfect for Murphy.

Echo has done no worse than any other character on this show.

Agreed! And she has the same excuse as everyone else – she did it for her people. The 100 loves moral quandaries and this is one in human form lol

My only response to anyone left on this sinking ship that is The 100;

Get over it and move on. Go watch your “Heda” on her show Fear The Walking Dead. Its done. Leave the people who work on the show and fans who enjoy it alone. Stop spamming articles of The 100 with Lexa. Shes dead. It sucka but shes dead. Move on.

Hell yeah I’m glad they made her a regular. I love her
