Still, theres a glaring issue with this conclusion.
Spencer, being John Dutton IIs father, would skip a generation.
1923 is a series following the Dutton family during the early twentieth century. It explores the challenges they face amidst pandemics, the end of Prohibition, historic drought, and the Great Depression, as they struggle to maintain their home in the mountain west.
Thats because Spencer, being John Dutton IIs father, would skip a generation.
Therefore, Spencers children are third-generation Duttons.
Spencers son is even named John Dutton.
Brandon Sklenar: “John’s a popular name.”
For everything to make sense,Alex and Spencers baby from1923s finale cant be John Dutton II.
The child is a third-generation Dutton, so he couldnt have fathered fifth-generation John Dutton III.
Elizabeth Strafford could also name her baby John, after Jacks father.
That would make her baby John Dutton, too.
Sklenar sayingJohns a popular nameis key, with Alex and Elizabeth both having strong ties to the moniker.
