Vivian, also known as Viv, is a survivor of the outbreak and later an antagonist in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead. She was a resident of the Dell Diamond Baseball Stadium community, alongside her husband Douglas. She later becomes a part of a group of bandits. She served as one of the two secondary antagonists of the episode "Mother" (along with Douglas).
Overview[]
Vivian is initially a kind and helpful woman. She cares about her husband, Douglas, and is usually seen helping around the Dell Diamond Baseball Stadium. After she and the other stadium survivors go missing, it was assumed she and the others were killed. However, it's revealed that they survived became brutal and remorseless bandits who robbed and executed survivors. Though she and Douglas aren't proud of who they have become, they see it as necessity to survive, even if that means killing their former ally Alicia Clark. However, she, Douglas, and the other bandits end up being easily subdued by walkers.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Location Unknown[]
Nothing is known about Vivian's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she had a husband named Douglas.
Post-Apocalypse[]
At some point in the apocalypse, Vivian was separated from Douglas when he first joined the Dell Diamond Baseball Stadium community. However, Madison constructed a search for Vivian where she was eventually found and reunited with her husband. She was then brought back to live in the community alongside him and the other survivors.
Season 4[]
"Another Day in the Diamond"[]
Vivian and her husband Douglas are consulted by Madison as she goes over the plan to search for Charlie's family outside the agreed range. They ultimately agree to the mission and help Madison's group secure a vehicle for the run.
That night, she and the others arm themselves when the Vultures arrive at the settlement, who are waiting for the survivors to starve due to the crops dying out.
The next morning, Vivian remains armed and on watch, but joins Madison and the others to help build a new housing unit in the dugout.
"Just in Case"[]
Vivian holds Naomi at gunpoint before she can drive away from the Dell Diamond settlement. Madison, Strand, Alicia, Nick, and Luciana arrive and listen to Vivian as she explains what Naomi was planning to do. As Naomi explains her intentions, she lowers her rifle and proceeds to listen to Naomi's explanation.
"The Wrong Side of Where You Are Now"[]
Vivian is among the stadium residents to help prepare the soil on the crop fields for replanting. Later, she helps fortify the stadium walls with lumber and other materials in preparation for the Vultures' imminent attack. When the Vultures finally arrive, she is armed and on the wall with other residents, watching in horror as the Vultures unleash hundreds of zombies from their trucks towards the stadium.
"No One's Gone"[]
As the horde of zombies approached the stadium, Vivian and the other residents decide to flee since they did not believe the walls would hold. She and her husband, along with everyone else, gathered in the remaining vehicles and drove out into the parking lot. They were quickly overrun and feared dead as hundreds upon hundreds of zombies swarmed the caravan, though unbeknownst to Alicia, Nick, Luciana, and Victor, Vivian and the other stadium survivors managed to escape alive after all.
Season 6[]
"Mother"[]
Cole reveals to Alicia that Douglas and Vivian both survived the Dell Diamond Baseball Stadium's destruction thanks to the sacrifice of Madison. Later, a hostile group ambushes Alicia, Dakota, and Teddy at Mable's Parts auto shop. To Alicia's shock, Douglas and Vivian unmask themselves as part of the group which is made out of the remaining stadium survivors. Douglas apologizes to the shocked Alicia.
Cole's group escorts Alicia, Teddy, and Dakota back to their truck while Cole explains how his group had become bandits. Unlike Cole, Douglas expresses remorse for their actions, stating that they're not proud of what they've become, but don't see any other way. Douglas and Vivian search the truck for a map leading to Teddy's bunker, but urge Cole to leave before walkers are drawn to their position. On Cole's order, Douglas and Vivian join him in preparing to execute the trio with their shotguns, but the group is attacked by their own reanimated victims who had been left to wander the nearby woods. Despite their best efforts to fight back, Douglas, Vivian, and the others fall victim to the walkers.
After killing Cole, Alicia makes her way over to the partially-devoured Douglas and she discovers that he has reanimated. Picking up Douglas' knife, Alicia puts both him and the reanimated Vivian down.

Trivia[]
- While all of Vivian's appearances in Season 4 were in flashbacks, Vivian's appearance in Season 6 marks the first time her character appears in the present day in the current timeline.
- Vivian's death is ironic as the way she and her husband die is almost a complete inverse of how their original disappearance was depicted. Their final scene in Season 4 showed Douglas and Vivian comforting each other while inside a car, while their deaths depict them being separated on opposite sides of the outside of a car.
