The Walking Dead Cast Members
‘The Walking Dead’ (as Fallout) We may be in precious few weeks during the year in which a Walking Dead show is not airing on AMC, but that doesn’t mean news isn’t happening regardless. We have already heard that Fear the Walking Dead has been renewed for Season 4 before Season 3 even airs, presumably due to its status as a high-performing drama, despite its other faults. Now, we have some major news about the cast of the original show. The Walking Dead in Season 8, two of which I have no problem with, one of which concerns me quite a bit. Spoilers follow. I am very excited to see Steven Ogg, a.k.a. Simon, be promoted to a series regular, as I firmly believe he’s the best villain the show has right now, even more so than Negan and especially Dwight, who I find lacking, given his pivotal role in the conflict.
The fifth season of The Walking Dead, an American post-apocalyptic horror television series on AMC, premiered on October 12, 2014, and concluded on March 29, 2015, consisting of 16 episodes. 'Walking Dead' victim pleads for peace in final words AMC’s massive hit zombie-apocalypse series, “The Walking Dead,” will return for its fifth season Sunday night. Oct 7, 2018 - 'The Walking Dead' actors have gone on to become DC Comics' villains. Thankfully, the cast and crew at 'TWD' made sure Wilson knew just. Michael Cudlitz will be returning to season nine of 'The Walking Dead,' sort of.
The Walking Dead New Cast Members Season 8
I still think Simon won’t survive the war, but I’ll be glad to see him around for a while longer, hopefully. I could go either way about Katelyn Nacon, a.k.a. Enid, who has not been an interesting character to me since I once believed that she was a Wolf spy a long time ago (she wasn’t).
Now, she’s effectively becomes the show’s version of comic Sophia, who was not killed there (Carol was) and exists alongside Carl to this day. Sophia and Carl aren’t a romantic item in the comics while Enid and Carl are, and that might produce some drama when the Whisperer’s Lydia shows up in presumably Season 9, provided Enid survives that long. But ugh, now we arrive at Pollyanna McIntosh, a.k.a. Jadis, a.k.a. Queen Garbage Heapster, who has also been made a series regular, implying that both she and her unfortunate collection of trash people will be around for the foreseeable future.
Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Pollyanna McIntosh as Jadis Right when the Heapsters/Scavengers were first introduced, I wrote a post about how I was excited about the surprise addition, as they’re not from the comics, and The Walking Dead when it goes off-script from the source material like we’ve seen with Terminus, the Wolves, etc. But as it turns out, the Scavengers are more of a Grady Memorial Hospital situation, a new addition that frankly sucks. The entire plotline with the Scavengers was enormously rushed and made no sense. Rick makes a deal with an huge group of creepy people he just met, handing over dozens of guns because what? They don’t shoot him on sight and say they’ll help him after knowing him for an hour? It’s no wonder that they end up betraying them at a key moment.
But when you learn why, that’s dumb too, as Jadis made a deal for something like 10 of Rick’s people with Negan, yet in the ensuing firefight, she probably loses double that as causalities. And then there’s the most troubling part about Jadis and her people: the way they talk.
Her gang is almost entirely silent, but Jadis herself has this bizarre halted, stuttering cadence that’s a cross between a caveman and a mental patient. You can argue that living in a dump will alter your mind a bit, but otherwise Jadis seems sharp, and I’m sorry but in three years (which is how long it’s been since the zombie mess started), your speech and social affects would not degrade to this degree. But nor does she have a good reason for her choice to speak this way like we see with Ezekiel, who is very clearly playing a character. Jadis is justirritating. I don’t know, I won’t entirely write off her character this early I suppose, but I never thought I’d be desperate for the Amazonian Seaside women to have a more prominent presence instead of Jadis and the Scavengers.
