The Walking Dead Season 6: 15 WTF Moments From 'East'

By Andrew Pollard / June 24, 2016

12. Reluctant Killer

Carol has been a massively complex character during her time on The Walking Dead so far. From feeble abused housewife, to strong-willed independent sort, to unhinged Crazy Carol, to child killer (look at the flowers), to a Rambo-type warrior, but now shes firmly portraying a tortured reluctant killer.

Now becoming the ultimate please dont make me kill you kind, the past few weeks have seen some interesting changes in the Carol character although it still remains to be seen whether shell make it past the end of this season.

During East, we got to see the perfect example of Carol as a reluctant killer; she came up with a different name, she was holding on to her cross, she even started hyperventilating and shaking at the thought of what was about to happen. Ultimately, shed snap and unload a whole load of bullets into the group of Saviors who stood in her path.

Reluctant? Sure. Badass? Most definitely.
