The Walking Dead: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

37. Tara Chambler

The Walking Dead
Gene Page/AMC

Appearances: Season 4-9 (60 episodes).

Tara's issue, to put it bluntly, was that she stuck around for too long. Initially a source of comic relief, a friend to Glenn who seemed poised to bite the dust early, she went a long time -- too long -- without any real development.

Sure, she was charming and her loyalty made for some compelling drama (her meeting with Oceanside gets some deserved stick from fans, but it finds Tara at her compassionate best), but her thin development never felt entirely organic.

Tara seemed to change by the episode, moving from scared to vengeful to amusing with little tact, and though she started strong, the writing was too rarely on her side.
