The Walking Dead: 5 Characters Better In The TV Show (And 5 Who Were Worse!)
9. Lori (Worse)
The Lori we see in the comics is a very different character to what we see in the show. While she certainly has her flaws, they all feel human and whenever she argues with other characters it feels genuine and makes sense for her character. She's less sceptical of Rick and a better mother to Carl in every way.
Lori in the TV show just seemed to be written to infuriate fans. Her constant back and forth on how to handle the situation with Shane was extremely inconsistent, especially her reaction after learning how Rick killed Shane in self defence. Her constant unloading of Carl onto other characters became a joke among the fan community and the scene where she crashes her car on an empty road is nothing short of infamous.
It's unfortunate, as Sarah Callies was great in the role and finally got to shine in the third season, although she only lasted four episodes. If we had gotten more of the Lori we saw in those four episodes of the third season, things wouldn't have been too bad.
