The Walking Dead: 10 Most Pointless Characters

7. Eric

Aaron's husband never really made an impact.

Eric was introduced just after Aaron, and since then had made zero influence on the story at all - despite being attached to such a key figure.

He didn't really have much of a personality either, as he popped up in the background of Alexandria more than characters like Scott. When he met his demise, the way the episode was shot was made to make it seem like a bigger deal than it actually was to the fans.

What makes it worse, was that his death occurred in the same episode that Morales returned, so it was completely eclipsed by that moment.

It's hard to say he deserved better, but it's a shame a character with his tenure could just disappear like that without any emotional reaction.
