The halls of Nevermore have seen monsters, magic, and mayhem — but nothing prepared fans for the latest behind-the-scenes drama. According to sources close to the set, the beloved disembodied hand, Thing, found itself in the middle of a bizarre jealousy scandal after newcomer Evie Templeton (Agnes DeMille) introduced a prop raven as her emotional support animal.
What started as a playful addition to the cast quickly spiraled into what insiders are calling the Raven vs. Hand Rivalry — and it’s shocking the fanbase in ways no Hyde ever could.
The Sulk Heard Around the Set
It began innocently enough. Templeton, who has quickly become a fan favorite, reportedly brought the raven prop to set one morning, affectionately naming it “Nevermore.” The bird perched proudly on her shoulder, drawing laughs and compliments from cast and crew.
But not everyone was amused. Witnesses claim that Thing — the iconic hand who has been a star since Season 1 — immediately grew cold. Instead of waving, clapping, or scuttling with his usual charm, Thing was spotted sulking on a table, fingers drumming angrily.
“Thing looked… betrayed,” one insider whispered. “It was like he thought the raven was stealing his spotlight.”
Rumors of a Behind-the-Scenes Feud

Whispers quickly spread that Thing and the raven had an off-camera “confrontation.” Though details remain murky, one crew member described the scene:
-
Thing lunged, fingers splayed, in a display of dominance.
-
The raven, dramatically operated by a puppeteer, flapped its wings in defiance.
-
For several tense seconds, the set was silent… before Jenna Ortega reportedly deadpanned: “This is the most ridiculous fight I’ve ever seen — and I’m Wednesday Addams.”
The moment broke the tension, but rumors of an ongoing feud have refused to die down.
Netflix PR Steps In
With fans already speculating online — and hashtags like #TeamThing and #TeamRaven trending — Netflix issued a tongue-in-cheek statement:
“We can confirm there are no claws, no harm, and no ongoing animosity. Thing and Raven are now besties, sharing snacks and screen time. The Addams spirit of family lives on.”
The statement calmed some, but skeptics insist the rivalry is far from over.
Fans React: Divided Loyalties

Social media erupted as fans picked sides:
-
“Thing is an OG — no bird can replace him!”
-
“The Raven adds spice. Sorry Thing, time for some competition.”
-
“This isn’t a scandal, it’s the crossover I never knew I needed.”
Fan art now depicts Thing perched beside the raven, either in friendship or in epic gladiator battles. Some even suggest the show should write the raven into Season 3 as Thing’s sidekick — or rival.
The Shocking Truth
What does this mean for Nevermore? Maybe nothing — or maybe everything. After all, Wednesday thrives on tension, both on and off screen.
But one thing is clear: in a world of witches, hydes, and prophecies, the most shocking feud of all might just be between a loyal hand and a plastic bird.
And if that doesn’t prove that Wednesday is the most murderously entertaining show on Netflix, nothing will.
