The Duttons’ story spans generations, and we’ve gotten to see a lot of it on display screen. From the trendy Yellowstone to 1883 to 1923, we’ve discovered quite a bit in regards to the founding and current members of the Montana-based household. Now, with upcoming Yellowstone reveals like 1944 and the Rip and Beth spinoff, we’ll get to study extra.
Meaning it’s useful to know the household tree (which you’ll see beneath) and the assorted questions on it that we nonetheless want solutions to.
Will Alex And Spencer’s Child Be The Father Of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton?
The top of 1923 felt prefer it confirmed that Alex and Spencer’s child was the John Dutton II who ultimately turns into the daddy of Yellowstone’s John Dutton III (Kevin Costner). Nevertheless, Brandon Sklenar, Julia Schlaepfer and Michelle Randolph, who play Spencer, Alex and Elizabeth, respectively, all advised me nothing is confirmed. Within the phrases of Schlaepfer:
The door’s open till Taylor Sheridan shuts it…Brandon and I’ve talked quite a bit about who’s the lineage, and naturally, I believe we’d like to think about that our John is the John, however time will inform.
In the meantime, Randolph, whose character was additionally pregnant on the finish of 1923, advised me that she may “confidently say that it isn’t confirmed.”
So, these crimson strains of the household tree connecting Jack and Elizabeth in addition to Spencer and Alex to John Dutton II are warranted, and illustrate possibly the largest query we now have going into 1944.
Will Elizabeth And Jack Have A Little one?
It looks like Elizabeth could possibly be a key participant in 1944, particularly if she has the child she would have shared with Jack.
After Jack’s dying, she lived on and moved off the ranch. Nevertheless, it isn’t confirmed if the kid she was pregnant with was born. In the event that they have been, and particularly in the event that they find yourself being a boy named John, issues may get messy for the following technology of Duttons.
Who Is The Mom Of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton?
Whereas we all know John Dutton II is the daddy of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III, seeing as Dabney Coleman performs him in Yellowstone, we don’t know who his mom is. We don’t even know her title.
Odds are, we’ll meet the lady John marries in 1944, seeing as that present will seemingly observe his technology of Duttons after they’re of their early to mid twenties.
As you possibly can see, there aren’t very many “unseen” bins on the household tree, and this is among the few large mysteries left. So, hopefully the following technology of Yellowstone can provide us that reply.
Who Is Spencer’s Widow?
After Alex’s tragic dying, it’s revealed that Spencer lived on and had a baby with one other lady who was additionally a widow. Nevertheless, he by no means married her. Explaining this in the course of the voice over, Elsa stated:
Spencer by no means remarried. Took the consolation of a widow, made one other boy, refused to marry her. Then, someday, the widow was gone.
So, will this lady be somebody new? Will she be Elizabeth? Will it’s a girl from Spencer’s previous? Something is feasible, and the truth that that they had a child collectively 100% makes this query a outstanding one.
What Is The Identify Of Spencer’s Second Little one?
Earlier than 1923’s finale, we didn’t know if John II had siblings, however this example with Spencer’s fellow widow revealed that he would have a half-sibling. Now, I’m curious what this sibling’s title can be.
Will they’ve the title of one of many Yellowstone characters – like Beth, Lee or Kayce? May this youngster even be named John? If Elizabeth is Spencer’s associate, will they title their child after Jacob or Cara or possibly James or Margaret?
All these questions are racing round my thoughts, and together with studying who the widow is, I additionally need to know the title of the child she shares with Spencer.
Which, If Any, Of These Characters Will Be Central To 1944’s Story?
To me, there are three characters who will seemingly be in 1944. John II, Spencer and Elizabeth.
John Dutton II looks like a shoo-in. Whereas we don’t technically know if this John would be the youngster of Alex and Spencer or Jack and Elizabeth, he needs to be on this collection, seeing as each ladies have been pregnant in 1923. Plus, we see John II in Yellowstone as a really previous man, and the mathematics strains up for him to be in his early to mid twenties within the ‘40s. Hypothetically, we’d get to see this character proper in the course of his life, many years after his beginning within the ‘20s and lengthy earlier than he died within the modern-day.
Nevertheless, he’ll additionally really feel like a brand new character in a means, as a result of it’s not like we actually bought to know him within the final present, or Yellowstone, for that matter. In a single, he was (possibly) a child, and within the different, he was a person on his deathbed.
That leads me to the opposite characters who may return.
Spencer looks like the obvious reply. Within the remaining moments of 1923, it’s revealed that he died 45 years after Alex handed away in 1924. Meaning he lived till about 1969. So, he’s confirmed alive in 1944, and he’d nonetheless be at an age the place he may seemingly run the ranch whereas his children assist out. If Harrison Ford’s Jacob can run the ranch into his 80s, I’d wager cash Spencer will do it till he cannot anymore, too. So, I’ve a sense we’ll see him in 1944.
I additionally assume Elizabeth will present up. She was pregnant on the finish of 1923. As we mentioned, she may probably be the widow Spencer has a relationship with. And it makes means an excessive amount of sense for her and her youngster to one way or the other return to Montana to play an element within the ranch’s future.
Odds are, Cara and Jacob can be lifeless; we all know Jack and Alex are lifeless. So, of the 1923 Duttons, they in all probability gained’t be again. With all that stated, my hypothetical roster for returning Duttons in 1944 is: John II, Spencer and Elizabeth.
General, the Dutton household tree is an enchanting one, and each time I watch 1883 or 1923 with my Paramount+ subscription or Yellowstone with a Peacock subscription, I take into consideration how all of the generations are related in addition to all of the questions that come up with each.
