Yeah, the others "closest to" being originals would be the Farm group - of which only Maggie is left - and the prison/post-prison group of which only Rosita and Eugene are left. There was also Michonne* and Tara until recently but Michonne left and poor Tara got her head on a spike.
I've grown to like some of the newer characters - actually more on a full rewatch than I did originally, which is interesting. I think because you know who is going to be sticking around rather than expecting them to die as zombie-fodder at any moment. But it's a shame to have so few originals.
Speaking of bad writing - Michonne... leaving Judith and RJ behind to wander off across America in search of a
vague hope that she might find Rick. Ludicrous writing
. And not in peace-time, oh no no, they were in the middle of the Whisperer war! We're supposed to believe that she just took a 9-year-old's word that it was all sorted and LEFT, having no idea if they were actually OK. Come onnn.
