Cast member Dianne Doan will still be a part of the upcoming episode of "Vikings" Season 4 despite her character's sudden end. According to The Siver Times, the Canadian actress will resurrect her character Yidu after Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) drowned her in front of her children. Yidu happens to be the slave and mistress of Ragnar.
Series creator Michael Hirst stated that the return of Doan's character will create a major twist in the storyline. Hirst teased that Yidu could be a Chinese emperor's daughter who has the access to education and the free will to choose the job duties and a man she wishes to be her husband after her cruel experience in the hands of Ragnar.
As for the official plot synopsis of episode 9, Hollywood Hills notes, "As they near Paris, the Vikings will end up relaunching their boats, but this time, they are going to bear interesting structures made by Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard).
Aethelwulf (Moe Dunford) and Alfred (Conor O'Hanlon) will arrive in Rome, where honors will be bestowed by Pope Leo, but in Wessex, relations are going to be less than cordial between King Ecbert (Linus Roache) and a disgruntled King Aelle (Ivan Kaye)."
For a quick recap of "Vikings" Season 4 previous episode 8 "Portage" Monsters and Critics reported that, the defeated Vikings questioned Ragnar Lothbrok's leadership as they move out from their camp and move back in down the river. Ragnar also ordered the fleet to beach at a cliff face and unearthened an ingenious plan.
