The creepy show From, on MGM+, keeps audiences on the edge of their seats and has really captured everyone's imaginations. This is all thanks to its chilling mystery and scary creatures, but there's one character who has fans super curious!
Tillie's Mysterious Arrival
In season 2, a new character arrives named Tillie, played by the talented Deborah Grover. She comes to From's creepy town on the Grand Rapids Runner Bus. Tillie quickly becomes a really curious figure and has been seen throughout the seasons of From. Unlike other townspeople who act scared, she makes an effort to get to know everyone! But the question is: why? What makes her so strange? Many viewers have this suspicion that Tillie knows way more than she lets on!
Tillie's Past
The key is to understand Tillie's backstory before going into how unusual her personality is!
- She has had some very big life changes. This included being given a diagnosis for terminal cancer
- She lost her beloved husband
This caused her to make the choice to leave her old life! She's been making her way across the country to bet on horse races! It looks like nothing was going to stop this brave adventurer! Tillie really seems open about many aspects of her life including even casually revealing to other characters that she had several children, making it appear that she isn't shy.
Tillie's Suspicious Behavior
This eccentric character Tillie does more than just appear super random. She seems to know details about those around her which also helps to create suspense!
- In season 2, she was the only person who figured out Fatima (played by Pegah Ghafoori) was pregnant. This is even though Fatima hadn't yet started showing!
- Even more unusual, Tillie confides in Fatima, which has also had supernatural elements.
While this new character appears friendly, those that are familiar with From and have paid attention know that there are special things occurring at certain times.
- Elgin (played by Nathan D. Simmons) learns some vital information and helps to save the town thanks to Tillie’s revelations. This really raises questions. Is it just a coincidence?
- Even Tillie's friendship with Elgin also reveals her association with supernatural moments. Elgin is shown to have prophetic dreams that sometimes have Tillie present!
- She also seems very upfront about other unusual things she experienced which was a way for the producers to get viewers involved and think there's more! This includes the idea that Tillie sought "tarot readings."
Tillie's True Nature
With everything that is happening to her, and the insights she seems to offer. People start to think. Tillie is somehow tied to From’s spooky supernatural goings-on.
But Tillie's unusual observations and her general interest in supernatural ideas could all just be caused by what everyone faces in From!
Viewers might think there is no escape from this unique town! But, here are those individuals who seem to be affected similarly. Elgin and even Randall (A.J. Simmons) who saw scary cicadas, are other examples.
If it seems weird to some that Tillie brings an unusual presence, what may not have occurred to the audience, is the idea that nothing can truly go amiss to others when there is so much uncertainty within the supernatural setting of this mysterious show! The character is just being helpful and is an example of how From's main themes, such as mystery and uncertainty really capture everyone's imaginations!
From on MGM+ has built this creepy and exciting experience, which has been renewed and is available to watch online and has all kinds of great elements which keep the audience involved! With its big themes around trust in moments of intense uncertainty! Tillie looks like she might just end up making everyone question who to trust! The show really keeps audiences guessing with a new level of thrilling uncertainty, proving that every character does more than what it seems!
