Updated through S3E7
Harriet Walter plays Walker, who runs the electronics workshop in the Down Deep. After her marriage to Carla McLain ended she stopped leaving that workshop for twenty-five years; her bench and radio become a lifeline for Juliette and the rebellion.
What's confirmed in canon
S2Her workshop and radio work make her central to the Down Deep rebellion.
S3E4Fans read her sealing/controlling of the Digger Void as intentional - turning it into a surveillance blind spot and a candidate hiding place for Bernard, tied to the missing-supplies cluster (rebar, lamps, medical).
S3E5Confirmed as part of the hidden operation: Walker (with her estranged wife Carla) helped Sims spare and hide Bernard. Radios return as a major device this episode, positioning Walker's bench and radio as the likely channel to reach Solo / Silo 17.
S3E7The radio thread pays off and becomes a genuine power shift ("Radio" is the episode title): coded radio is the mission's lifeline, and it is Walker's domain. Kennedy's transmission from Silo 17 is what saves the plan - but radio is now double-edged, since Silo 1 may monitor frequencies and a signal can reveal a location.
Where the community lands
Walker is the community's emotional anchor in the Down Deep and a key node in the Mechanical rebellion. After S3E4 fans place her at the centre of a hidden operation: her control of the sealed Digger Void looks less like a dead end and more like a protected hiding space - possibly where Bernard is kept alive.
