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

20. Tara

Another character who has largely suffered from being crowded out, which would almost be ok if the show hadn't then made the baffling decision to give Tara her own entire, extended episode in Season 7.

She's a fun supporting player, with Alanna Masterson bringing some much needed humour into the series, but isn't really much else. Season 7 tried its best to elevate her, with a strange secrecy plot involving Oceanside, but it didn't quite come off.

Tara isn't really unlikeable, but she's not all that interesting to watch either, especially not when getting more screentime than other, better characters, and doesn't contribute too much to the series right now.
