'Gotham' season 4 spoilers: Why Fish Mooney is never coming back

"Gotham" was not as canon as fans had expected it to be. A big part of its deviation from the original source was its exclusive characters. One of them was Fish Mooney, who was exciting to watch. Nobody else on the show died and resurrected as much as she did, but it looks like she has run out of luck. Fish has officially died for real, and it looks like she will not be returning anytime soon.

Spoiler alert! This article contains “Gotham” spoilers. Read on if you would like to know what happens before the next episode airs.

It looked like Fish's story was indeed over when Jim Gordon accidentally stabbed her with a sword through her stomach by the end of the third season. Some may think that it meant nothing, since Fish has a notable history of coming back from the dead.

Talking to Comicbook.com, executive producer John Stephens was quick to settle the issue. “I’m afraid that's it,” Stephens said. “Now that one was it. At a certain point, you gotta say."

Nobody lives forever in a city such as Gotham, For a character who has evaded death numerous times, it looks like Fish has finally met her end.

Viewers might remember how the show's take on an undead Joker was settled. Fish Mooney does not have the same cycle, and her death will mean a lot for everyone, especially for Penguin, since he is officially without a mentor.

“Gotham” will return on September 21 on FOX in the US. Australian fans can watch it on SyFy.
