The Walking Dead: 5 Characters Better In The TV Show (And 5 Who Were Worse!)

Andrea is easily one of the best characters in the comics. She's loyal to the group, resourceful, develops consistently throughout the series and has a heartbreaking send off just before the end of the series. Andrea in the television series enjoyed none of these things.

For some reason the writers seemed insistent on making Andrea unlikable during Season 2, having her shoot Daryl for no good reason. Things got much worse during Season 3 however, when Andrea chose to stay with the Governor over returning to the old group. While her motivations are understandable to a certain degree, the character reached a point where there she should've gotten out of Woodbury to help protect her friends. Having witnessed The Governor's collection of zombie heads in fish tanks, it's unbelievable she stuck around.

Perhaps the biggest mistake however was the fact that Andrea was killed off incredibly early into the show's life. She didn't really get any development with the core group during Season 3, leaving the character feeling wasted when she was killed. Laurie Holden voiced disappointment at the handling of her character once she had left the show.
