The Walking Dead Season 7: Ranking Every Major Character From Worst To Best

Melissa McBride remains one of the strongest performers on The Walking Dead, and Carol has had more character development than most others on the show. Those things, combined with the fact she is a killing machine (or was, anyway), and how much we care about her and what she'll do for those she loves, mean she is one of the best characters on the show.

Yet again Season 7 didn't find too much room for her, meaning that her decision to rejoin the fight ultimately felt a little rushed, when it could've been quite powerful.

Prior to that though there was a lot of fun to be had in her interactions with Ezekiel at the Kingdom, showing off glimpses of her old badass self in taking out some walkers, and a particularly touching reunion scene with Daryl. She's now back in the fold proper, and that can only be a good thing (unless, of course, you're a Saviour).
