The next most prominent character killed was Tammy Rose (Brett Butler) from Hilltop - she happens to be the only character killed in this sequence in the comics who also died here on the show.Īlso Read: Danai Gurira to Exit 'The Walking Dead' After Season 10 There were three characters who you might consider primary protagonists who were killed: Tara (Alanna Masterson), who has been the leader of Hilltop since Jesus died in the first half of season 9 Henry (Matt Lintz), who has filled Carl’s role from the comics in this plotline thus far and Enid (Katelyn Nacon), the medic from Hilltop who has been around forever - she was living in Alexandria when Rick’s group moved there. So let’s run down the list of newly murdered characters real quick. It turned out that Alpha and presumably other members of the Whisperers had infiltrated the trade fair and snatched these folks, with some others being added later when they made a rescue attempt.Īlso Read: AMC Operating Chief: Third 'Walking Dead' Series in 'Active Development,' No Premiere Plans YetĬonsidering the fact that so many character deaths were revealed so quickly - combined with how some of these folks are either relatively minor figures or have been less prominent this season than in the past - it might be tough to keep track of who all actually died this week. If you read the “Walking Dead” comics you knew this was coming, though the character involved are completely different on the show - with Daryl taking Rick’s place as the receiver of Alpha’s big speech, and an almost entirely different group of characters being killed off here. And as they head home they encounter said border markings - ten spikes, each with the zombified head of a protagonist character on it. And if they don’t abide by those rules then the Whisperers will sic a massive horde of zombies on them.Īlso Read: 'Walking Dead': We Need to Talk About Jocelyn and MichonneĪlpha then notes that they’ve marked the borders of their territory very clearly, and sends Daryl and the others away. In a sequence ripped nearly straight from the pages of the “Walking Dead” comics, Alpha (Samantha Morton) and her Whisperers managed to capture Daryl (Norman Reedus), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Carol (Melissa McBride) and Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), held them captive overnight and then Alpha delivered a speech to Daryl about how the Whisperers can live peacefully alongside the communities so long as they stay out of Whisperer territory. While maybe not as overtly severe as the season 7 premiere in which Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) beat Abraham and Glenn to death with his baseball bat, it certainly beat that episode in terms of quantity - this episode saw ten protagonist characters murdered and their heads placed on spikes.

If you've ever been in a relationship and you're able to grow in that sense too, I think that's a place that's probably lacking in his life," McDermitt said. "I think he's excited about moving forward with someone who is a little more like-minded.

"They're kind of into some nerdy things, and that's awesome, and she likes his weird references, and she has probably her own weird references. They have similar interests, and I think he's connecting with her on a level that he never really connected with Rosita on," McDermitt said about a potential Eugene/Stephanie romance last year.
