The Testaments: What is the major fan theory about Daisy's parents?

The dystopian spin-off The Testaments, based on Margaret Atwood's work, continues to captivate viewers on Disney+. As the platform has officially renewed the series starring Chase Infiniti and Lucy Halliday, mysteries surrounding the plot are multiplying.

The big mystery behind Daisy's origins

In this adaptation set four years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the character of Daisy particularly intrigues series enthusiasts. Exfiltrated from the dictatorship of Gilead as a baby, she was raised in Canada before losing her adoptive parents in a brutal attack. Unlike the original novel where the final twist reveals a specific lineage, the series production chose a different narrative path, leaving the true identity of her parents shrouded in mystery.

A theory sparking intense debate online

Faced with this mystery, fans are gathering on forums and networks to build hypotheses. One of the most popular theories suggests that Daisy could be the biological daughter of Commander Joseph Lawrence and his wife Eleanor. Past remarks made in the original series regarding the loss of a child and the desire for a family have fueled speculation. Some internet users hypothesize that a baby could have escaped the regime via the Mayday network before growing up in Canada. It's an intriguing lead that promises to spice up future episodes of this ruthless regime.
