I'm glad Carol is still there, considering she was a textbook season two death her story arc has been amazing

It's weird because I never even considered that the characters are killed off because the actor quits in The Walking Dead, I just assumed they're all told they can get killed off whenever and are all happy to just get written out when the time comes.

The thought has never crossed my mind since 2011/2012 that Joe Bernthal or Jeffery DeMunn would have quit. I thought a lot of fans were upset that Shane lived so long anyway because he dies in Atlanta in the comics and that I would have been one of the odd ones out in wishing he'd lived longer than he did in the show.
