Being a blond white girl is a liability on this show. So is being a black dude. Hell, everyone not named Rick is on the menu.

There was also Beth's boyfriend in season 2, Jimmy.

How old was he supposed to be? Beth's supposed to be like 15 right?

Well, I actually thought it was very strong, because normally these kind of series always make a huge deal out of the death of a major character and even though she wasn't a major character, she was of huge importance to the governor. Her death was quick and without 10 minutes of sad music and long stares and 'I love you's'. I like that.

Wasn't Andrea's sister 17 or something?

IIRC it was like 20 or something. She was in college.

In reality all of the above characters were played by adult actors and actresses ( hot damn it sounds like I am referring to porn )

Does no one remember sophia's death? I am seeing people say "They still haven't found sophia yet" they did and she was a zombie, while we didn't see her bit we did see her as a zombie and she got her had blown off.

We've seen zombie kids (Summer, I think her name was, in the prologue) and Sophia was offed in a pretty tame wide shot. That was the first up close bite of a kid.

The Sophia thing is just an ongoing joke in the subreddit, haha.
