“The Walking Dead” spoilers below!
If Ryan Hurst is around, you Beta watch out.
In the latest episode of “The Walking Dead,” Hurst’s Whisperer villain, Beta, broke into Alexandria in an attempt to take out traitor Gamma (Thora Birch). Instead, he ended up killing Laura (Lindsley Register).
But during the episode, there was confusion among fans whether Laura, the neck tattoo-wearing former Savior, was actually dead after her clash with Beta. Her demise was later confirmed on “Talking Dead” during the In Memoriam segment.
Register, who’s been on the show since Season 7, didn’t have a guest spot on “The Walking Dead” after-show, which regularly features interviews with characters after they die. Some fans were not pleased.
The actor retweeted a number of fans who sent well wishes, including many saying she deserved better and wondering why she wasn’t on “Talking Dead.”
Register tweeted her thanks and posted a video on Instagram, which shows her visibly affected, saying, “I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all of the support and the well wishes, and holy crap it’s an emotional time.”
The actor acknowledged that it’s a “crazy time” for her because “The Walking Dead” has been a major part of her life, and said she’s thankful to have been a part of such a huge fandom.
Considering that “The Walking Dead” subtly gave Carl (Chandler Riggs) a zombie bite from some rando walkers in the woods back in Season 8, no one’s safe, which is why there’s still a question of whether Connie (Lauren Ridloff) and Magna (Nadia Hilker) were killed offscreen in the mid-Season 10 premiere.
But it took more than a random zombie bite to take out Laura. She went down against one of the biggest villains on the show.
“I’m just trying to say thank you guys for all of the love. Wow, I’m just really feeling it,” Register said in the Instagram video.
