In season two, the group aboard the ‘Abigail’ is unaware of the true breadth and depth of the apocalypse that surrounds them; they assume there is still a chance that some city, state, or nation might be unaffected - some place that the Infection has not reached. But as Operation Cobalt goes into full effect, the military bombs the Southland to cleanse it of the Infected, driving the Dead toward the sea. As Madison, Travis, Daniel, and their grieving families head for ports unknown, they will discover that the water may be no safer than land. ® ™ 03 CAST & CHARACTERS ® ™ 04 MADISON CLARK In many ways, the Madison of season two is the same woman we met in the pilot - a leader, a moral compass - but in a whole new devastated, apocalyptic world. As the season plays out, Madison will be faced with a world that often has no room for empathy or compassion. Forced to navigate a deceptive and manipulative chart of personalities, Madison’s success in this new world is predicated on understanding that, at the end of the world, lending a helping hand can often endanger those you love. She may maintain her maternal ferocity, but the apocalypse will force her to make decisions and sacrifices that could break even the strongest people.

International lines done away with following the world’s end, our characters must attempt to rebuild not only society, but family as well. Madison has reconnected with Travis but Alicia has been fractured by her murder of Andres. Mere miles from his mother, Nick’s first action as a leader saw Luciana ambushed by an American militia group – the couple escaped death but Nick no longer feels immortal. Recovering both emotionally and physically, Strand has his sights set on harnessing the new world’s currency, and Ofelia’s captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father. 3 CAST + CHARACTERS 4 4 MADISON CLARK (Kim Dickens) “The devil you know…” In season three, Madison moves beyond mercy. She promises herself never to repeat the mistakes of the past. If that means she must embrace brutality, so be it. As Madison evolves over the course of this season, we will see her turn even darker. Her ends are pure, but her means are morally compromised. She will sacrifice compassion – and she will risk those she holds most dear. In pursuit of Nick, Madison leads Travis and Alicia through the aftermath of the battle that ended season two – a fight that could have taken Nick and Luciana’s lives.

  • Working Hours, There Will Be Signifcant Availability of Parking Space on The
    working hours, there will be signifcant availability of parking space on the BG Group rCampus for anv other communitv use outside of these hours-when spaces used during the day by employees are vacaied. The use of the site only by the BG group between the hours of 7am-7pm can be secured by condition and the applicant has indicated willingness to accept such a condition (Condition 7). 15. The Highway Authority considers that the community uses outside of the above hours are unlikely to generate any unsuitably high demand upon the network due to the unconditioned hours being outside of peak network hours. The BG Group campus has a very significant number of parking spaces which would be available to external users at these times. On this basis the Highway Authority do not consider that a condition restricting the numbers or type of community uses will be necessary. 16. The BG Group Travel Plan will need to be updated to reflect the changes in car parking to ensure that sustainable modes of travel continue to be promoted. It should also assess transport options to the new recreational use which could be used outside normal working hours. 17. The Highway Authority raises no objection to the proposal subject to conditions (4, 5, 6, and 7) and as such the scheme is considered to accord with policy CP6 of the Core Strategy. Trees and Landscapes: 18. The Landscape Architect has no objection to the proposed multi-use recreational space. It is considered that the proposal will not have any additional visual or physical impact on the wider river valley landscape to the north of the site over that of the previous uses on the site.
