EP Teases Hard Time Ahead Of Melissa McBride’s Carol

Carol (Melissa McBride) was left with no choice but to ditch her “Suzy homemaker” disguise when The Wolves attacked Alexandria in “The Walking Dead” season 6, episode 2, titled “JSS.” And now that people know what she’s truly capable of, things are going to be difficult for her.

“It’s going to be hard for Carol,” showrunner Scott M. Gimple told TVLine. “She likes being invisible. … And seeing all of these people potentially being grateful towards her is going to be difficult.”

In addition, Morgan telling her that she doesn’t like killing will start to worry her. “When Morgan said, ‘You don’t like it’ it’s kind of like the thing she didn’t want to hear, the thing that she was ignoring all of this time [amid] all the killing,” Gimple said. “And then hearing it and feeling it, it’s weighing on her.”

Though Carol wanted to continue her undercover, revealing her true self might bring positive effect to some of the surviving residents of Alexandria.

“They’ll definitely see that she’s a capable fighter and perhaps it will inspire some of them [to change],” McBride told The Hollywood Reporter. “For me, it all goes back to how unlikely Carol is to be running around with guns and knives, and it’s awesome for me to watch her survive in the way she does. She’s still unlikely for me.”

“It is a wake-up call for them,” the “Mist” actress commented of what the recent attack means to the Alexandrians. “This is what Rick [Andrew Lincoln] has been trying to tell them the whole time. It’s just reiterating and illustrating how bad it is. We are a group that is equipped to try and defend ourselves against this kind of thing because we’ve done it before. We’ll see how they react to that — and where that puts Rick, [Carol] and our group within the community.”

Are you happy that Carol’s disguise is already over?
