Carol isn’t doing so great in The Walking Dead Season 7. The next time we’ll see Carol , she’ll be in a new place and deciding whether or not she wants to leave will be a big plot point for the character.
Melissa McBride spoke to ComicBook.com about her character’s story arc in The Walking Dead Season 7. McBride explained to the site the first three episodes of the season will establish where all of the characters are mentally, especially for Carol .
“She's passed out when we last see her, so she's waking up in a whole new place,” McBride told ComicBook.com, referring to where he character will be seen in Season 7. “We'll find out how she feels about that and Morgan as well. Just kind of a little bit more of where she's at in her head.”
In The Walking Dead Season 6 finale, Morgan broke his no-kill rule to save Carol from a Savior. However, the Savior shot her in the leg in hopes she would die a slow, painful death. Two members of The Kingdom find a helpless Carol and Morgan asks them to help her. The Kingdom members agree to take them back to their community.
It will be interesting to see if Carol makes it back to Alexandria. She was set on leaving everyone behind once she realized her instincts to protect the ones she loved came at the cost of her own moral code. She didn’t want to keep killing , as every life she took made her feel worse. It wasn’t until she got to Alexandria that she realized she didn’t want to be there anymore.
That said, spending some time away from Alexandria might be a good thing for Carol and Morgan.
“I think it's all blending together, the effect,” McBride told ComicBook.com. “Just to see how Morgan will respond to the Kingdom. He and Carol were not seeing eye to eye when we last saw them, and yet he was forced to make a choice that he had fought so hard against for all of the last season, so we'll see where that takes them and their mindset and if they have anything new in common.”
Do you think Carol will make it back to Alexandria? Let us know in the comments below. The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres Oct. 23 on AMC.
