![]() The Carol in the TV show is a wholly original creation that we'll continue to explore on the show to great effect. Gimple and Robert Kirkman, said in 2014 that "Carol is her own unique character it would be a disservice to Melissa McBride to say she's evolved into the Carol from the comics. The television show differs in these regards, as she is shown to be a stern, pragmatic, and compassionate individual who has been gradually building inner strength. Throughout her time in the comics, she grows increasingly unstable to the point of being self-destructive. In the comic series, Carol is much younger and exhibits a neurotic, self-centered, and naive demeanor. The direction of her character is contrasted between the two media. As the series progresses, McBride's character develops from being weak and dependent, into a strong, cunning, and loyal warrior. Carol was supposed to have been killed off in the episode "Killer Within", but the producers eventually had a change of plans. McBride's name appeared in the opening credits sequence beginning with the first episode of Season 4. She was a recurring cast member in Season 1 and was promoted to series regular for Season 2. McBride did not audition for the role, which she thought was temporary. ![]() Peletier is a mid-forties widow and caring mother to preteen Sophia, fighting to survive in a violent post-apocalyptic world populated with flesh-eating zombies and the few surviving humans, some of whom are diabolical and even more dangerous than the zombies themselves.
