How is Wes alive in season 6?

How to Get Away With Murderreturns for the last episodes of its sixth and final season on Thursday, and while there's plenty of drama to come, series star Viola Davis said she couldn't be more pleased with how the show wraps up.

"It is everything that you need to sew it up in your heart, in your mind," Davis said of the show's swan song. "It's almost a love song that [creator and executive producer Peter Nowalk] wrote. It's a great aria. That's how I see it, it's operatic in nature."

Her co-stars seem to agree, with Liza Weil, who plays Bonnie, teasing that the final season doesn't end the way she expected, "because I think the show always exceeds our expectations -- it's way better, and very satisfying," while Charlie Weber, who plays Frank, ominously warned that, "I think all the characters find the right pay-off for their particular story."

While Davis couldn't say much about her own fate -- Annalise's funeral has been teased in season 6 flash-fowards -- she did hint at the drama to come when the season picks back up. November's midseason finale dealt fans two major surprises with the still-mysterious death of Asher Millstone (Matt McGorry) and the shocking return of Wes (Alfred Enoch), who supposedly died back in season 3.

"There's everything in [these final episodes]," she noted. "Pete -- it's like he took every explosive you could possibly imagine, put it in a box and just put a lot of fire underneath and blew the whole thing up."

We’ve felt for years that this character is dead, but in the end, him being alive raises so many questions. Take, for example, simply this — how? How did we get here? How did this happen? We do think that he must have had some connections to the FBI or some other powerful people who helped to ensure that he could’ve escaped. (We know that Laurel claims that she wasn’t the mole, but that Tegan did her part in order to help her get away.)Remember that How to Get Away with Murder is returning with some new episodes when we get around to April — it’s a lot time to wait, especially when you consider all of the crazy stuff that unfolded over the course of tonight. Wes being alive is only a small piece of the overall puzzle.

It’s really just a matter of how it’s all going to play out over the course of the coming hours.Related News – Be sure to get some more information right now on How to Get Away with Murder, including some big twists that are comingWhat did you think about the  How to Get Away with Murder season 6 fall finale?

The How to Get Away with Murder (HTGAWM) series finale is just hours away, and there’s so much left to unpack. In fact, there are so many loose ends, it’s hard to believe they can all be tied up in a mere hour (or 43 minutes without commercials). HTGAWM fans are dying to find out how the trial will end, if Annalise and Tegan are really endgame, if Frank killed his mother, and, of course, who killed Annalise. But, the biggest questions on everyone’s mind all center around Wes Gibbins.

Wes (played brilliantly by Harry Potter alum, Alfred Enoch) was one of the main protagonists of How to Get Away with Murder for several seasons. But, the “waitlist” student with the heart of gold got darker with each season. Wes was ultimately the one who killed Sam Keating and later shot Annalise before realizing they had a strange shared history. Still, fans couldn’t help but root for Wes and were devastated when he was killed in off in season three.

What will the ‘How to Get Away With Murder’ series finale reveal?

Now, however, How to Get Away With Murder fans are unsure if Wes has actually been dead all this time. During the mid-season finale of season 6, Wes seemed to rise from the dead in order to attend Annalise’s funeral. Since that brief moment, fans have been waiting on bated breath to find out the truth. As Wes hasn’t appeared in the last five episodes, we can expect answers to our questions during tonight’s season finale.

But what is the truth? Is Wes really alive or is this nothing more than a clever ruse? How to Get Away with Murder fans are split on their opinions about the situation. Some fans are convinced that Wes is dead. They believe that the person we saw at Annalise’s funeral is actually Christopher, the son that Laurel shares with Wes. As Wes is Christopher’s biological father, it makes sense that he would look similar to him. “That’s a future scene. I know these for a fact that’s his son,” one Instagram user said confidently.

Is Wes Gibbins alive or dead?

Other fans of the show feel that Wes is dead and his appearance is no more than a dream sequence or an imagined situation that Annalise is experiencing. “Yes, he’s really dead. That ‘funeral’ is Annalise envisioning her funeral as instructed by her counselor when she went away for therapy for drinking too much. The counselor had everybody envision their deaths/funeral and asked who would be there,” one long-time fan of How to Get Away With Murder speculated.
