13 Most Compelling Backstories In The Walking Dead

5. Andrea

Andrea's story on The Walking Dead is done (you know, being dead and all), but seeing who she was before could help settle the debate fans had about whether or not they really liked her. After all, Andrea was a very divisive character on the show, but then again, the writer's don't particularly seem to know how to write strong female characters consistently (for another example, see Grimes, Lori). What is known is that she was twelve years older than her sister Amy, who was killed off early on in the show. They had been rescued by Dale, and prior to the outbreak, Andrea had studied law. A look into her past (in some sort of flashback) might make for a nice nostalgia trip - and it would be a way to, maybe, bring back Dale as well, and see exactly how they came together. Whether or not Jeffrey DeMunn would be open to that is another story however.
