They don't need to. It's the setting, the fictional universe within which the stories play out.

EastEnders isn't claiming to have mysteries surrounding Albert Square though, it is what it is which is a Soap Opera where relationships, friendships, and rivalries occur, and affairs/other types of scandals, I'm no fan of the show but it is following it's genre to a tea.
However EastEnders would be doing a bad job if Zombies started turning up and the characters had to try and stop them (which whether the you like it or not) that is what TWD is about as realistically the show can't honestly believe that these people are gonna survive for much longer if they honestly don't put a stop to the Zombies? And also as I said the show is very one note if all it is about is moving from one place to the next, that isn't even a plot it's just changing location for more of the same Lori-esque stuff that doesn't fit in with what the audience was promised in season 1, or with any other Zombie story that's ever been made which it does have to follow those tropes to an extent.
