Melissa Mcbride

Carol faced a gruesome death in The Walking Dead comic book series, but the decision to keep her in the TV series is credited to Melissa McBride. AMC’s zombie drama series The Walking Dead is based on the hit comic book series of the same name. Although many things have changed from the source material, one of the most significant changes has been how Carol Peletier moved from the forefront of the show.

Melissa McBride is an anchor in The Walking Dead series. She began her portrayal of Carol Peletier in the second episode of season 1 of the series and has continued to survive through to the end. This fall, the final eight episodes of the series will air, bringing the flagship series to conclusion, but the hope is we will see more of Carol in the future. McBride celebrated her birthday this week, and the fandom came out in full force to celebrate along with her.

Last week, fans of The Walking Dead were left disappointed by some surprising news: Well over a year after its announcement, star Melissa McBride (Carol Peletier) has officially dropped out of the proposed “Daryl-Carol” spinoff series. Since the news dropped, there’s been no shortage of theories about exactly why she decided to leave, and thankfully, Norman Reedus (Daryl) is on hand to clear things up.

Yesterday, fans of The Walking Dead got some bad news when it was announced that Melissa McBride had exited the planned spinoff series focusing on Carol and Daryl, the characters played by McBride and Norman Reedus. Now, the show will focus solely on Daryl. It was said the decision to drop Carol from the spinoff was "purely creative," but it lead to fans attacking Reedus online. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan on the show, called out some fans for their behavior. "Some of you have gone WAY too far. TOXIC," Morgan posted on Twitter. "Attacking norm for crap he has NOTHING to do with? Melissa made a call that was hers alone. She wants/needs a break. Respect that. Factors involved that are nobody's business. Norm, who's given more than anyone to you all. Just SHITTY." Now, AMC has also issued a statement asking people to stop attacking Reedus over McBride's exit.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is coming to his The Walking Dead co-star Norman Reedus' defense following news that Melissa McBride has exited the planned Daryl and Carol spinoff series. Reedus, who has starred as fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon since the show's inception, has been the target of fan anger ever since news of McBride's exit dropped earlier this week, prompting Morgan to slam the "toxic" attacks.

Of the various spinoffs in development, the biggest no-brainer was the Daryl and Carol offshoot that was announced back in 2020, but things took an unexpected turn when star Melissa McBride dropped out of the project.
