Will fans experience a Sid Baker comeback in Slow Horses? Here’s what fans speculate on Reddit

Slow Horses is a TV show. The intricate depiction of the spy universe and realistic storyline make it a fan favorite. With popularity comes the inevitable heated conversations about the characters and the plotline as well.

Slow Horses also faces a similar situation—whether Sid Baker, played by the brilliant and sharp Olivia Cooke, makes a comeback in the show. If you have been watching the show, you must know that it is based on the Slough House novels by Mick Herron.

In Season 1 of this TV show, Olivia Cooke graced the screen with her character, Sid Baker. However, during a tailing accident, she gets shot instead of the journalist. Her condition becomes critical, and she is taken to the hospital, where things get complicated. Diana Taverner says that Sid has passed away, which completely shocks viewers.

As can be noted, she is a crucial character for Slow Horses. Hence, viewers expected a closure instead of such an open ending for her character. Not only did she not receive a funeral, but also all her information had been swiped clean from the database.

This made us wonder whether she will have a comeback in Slow Horses. From all the speculations on Reddit, many signs indicate a high chance that Sid Baker’s character will make a comeback.

Reddit reactions and heated discussions about Sid Baker’s comeback in Slow Horses

A fan from Reddit commented about Sid Baker’s comeback,

“Assuming the show tracks the books keep watching”

If you have read the novels, you must know that Sid Baker’s fate is quite different than the one we see in Slow Horses. For all the seasons released so far, the show has been following the source material without much change.

Hence, the speculation that she will make a comeback is very much present. As in the novel, she is shown to be making a comeback and playing a vital role later on.

Many fans who have already read the books have noted in the heated conversations about Sid Baker's return in Slow Horses, saying,

“Since the series is currently following the books closely she will be back in a big way, but it will be a wait. Read all the books so you get all backgrounds on the characters.”

Another fan added about Sid Baker’s character,

"I was really quite surprised when Sid got shot in season one because after Gary Oldman I'd say she's probably the most famous actor in the show and I thought she was going to be a prominent character throughout the whole series.

I was already enjoying the show, but her getting shot made me sit up and take notice as I realised it was an anything can happen type of show.”

Hence, the confusion and disappointment about her death in the first season have tormented the fans. Many fans also wonder whether Olivia Cooke will return to Slow Horses, as she is already in some big TV shows and her schedule is packed.

The speculation about Sid Baker’s return is not just wishful thinking but rather a key to her return in Slow Horses. The show is known to give hints to the viewers, and those who have already read the book are eagerly waiting for how the show will navigate Sid Baker’s character in the future.

There is a high chance that they will again follow the books as they have done previously. So, the hopes are still up. Whether we will see this intriguing character again requires us to patiently wait for the show to pick up where it left off.
