What Character Does Laila Robins Play & What Happens To Her?

Katarina Rostova is arguably the single most important figure in the show’s flashbacks. This very much includes Red, if you buy into the popular, long-running theory of Raymond Reddington’s real identity in “The Blacklist.” Many viewers believe that Katarina didn’t actually die until the very last episode of the show … because she and Red Reddington are the same person. The real Red, after all, died many years ago, and the one we follow in the show has been an imposter all along. 

Per this “Redarina” theory, Katarina never died or disappeared, but started a new life as the fake Raymond Reddington. The show never explicitly confirms Redarina, but various plot points can be read to support the theory … and fans have certainly done so. The possibility of Katarina and the Red we know being the same person makes the Tatiana Petrova storyline even more fascinating. While the fake Katarina is already a formidable antagonist in her own right, looking at her arc through the Redarina lens would mean that Laila Robins is a fake Katarina who interacts with the real Katarina who has become the fake Red. “The Blacklist” — it has a few twists and turns, doesn’t it?
