7 Actors Who Hated Being On The Walking Dead
7. Laurie Holden - Andrea Harrison
For fans of the comics, the changes made to Andrea were extremely questionable.
Andrea went from a character who struggled mentally after her sister's death, to one of the strongest survivors in the show. Fans noted that her character development was good, and many expected her to have a long life and ultimately end up together with Rick, as that is what happened in the comics.
Instead, she was rescued by The Governor, and became his girlfriend, quickly becoming the most hated character on screen aside from the maniacal leader himself. She met her demise at his hand, when she was essentially fed to a zombified Milton at the end of Season 3. Her later interactions in the comics were then given to Sasha and Michonne.
Actor Laurie Holden has spoke about this decision at the Walker Stalker Convention, stating that she received a call from then showrunner Glen Mazzara at around 10pm the night before they were to shoot that episode regarding her death.
This came without warning or precedent, as she apparently had an 8-year deal with the show. She was meant to end up with Rick, and save Woodbury on a horse. The actress was also buying a house in Atlanta near the filming location as well.
It's pretty easy to see why she hated how things turned out, anyone given a contract of that length only to be dismissed prematurely would be annoyed as well.
