Carol Peletier on The Walking Dead has evolved from a woman who apologizes to her husband for not letting him treat her like dirt into a warrior. How tough is she? She was instrumental in taking down Terminus and rescuing her entire group ... while covered in zombie slime. But producer Gale Anne Hurd recently wondered, "Have we actually gone too far?"
She killed Lizzie in Season 4. And countinue to theart childrens in Alexandria.
Carol has in fact become a symbol for former domestic violence survivors, and survivors have reached out to actress McBride with their tales ... much like another famous female protagonist, Ellen Ripley.
"Carol has become one of the most popular characters on this show, maybe one of the most popular characters on television. But she is not an ingenue. She's tough, she takes care of people, and she does it takes to protect them. … In her own powerful, self-aware, I'm-not-taking-any-s—t kind of way."
