What will the aftermath of that barn scene, and the death of Sophia (Madison Lintz), be?
Norman Reedus: That took a lot of time to shoot. When we come back, we pick up where that left off. It sucked to lose Madison [Lintz]. We really liked her. She was part of our family. We also go in different directions, after that. It’s so devastating. Shane (Jon Bernthal) built that up to a huge point that he tried to make, and it just went horribly wrong. Hershel (Scott Wilson) saw his whole family, who he thought was sick and that he could resurrect, so to speak, massacred in front of his face. Carol (McBride) saw her daughter as a zombie. A lot went down, in so many different directions. It just exploded us off, in all different ways.
Melissa McBride: There will be divisions among the group.
Reedus: There’s a lot to talk about.
McBride: They will be re-thinking and re-evaluating everybody, for themselves and each other.
Melissa, what was your reaction to reading the script for that episode?
McBride: My initial reaction was, “No, they did it,” because I had heard this might happen, and I was upset to see that Madison [Lintz] wouldn’t be returning. She’s so fun to work with. She’s so professional.
Do your characters continue to get closer, when the series returns?
Reedus: It does continue. Damaged people gravitate towards damaged people. Carol and Daryl are a lot alike, in that we were abused and put down for so long. Now that those elements have left us, whether we wanted them to or not, there’s something kindred that we see in each other. We look after each other.
McBride: There is a little division that comes between the two of them, too, because of what’s happened. Carol’s reaction is to remember Sophia the way she was and move forward. In her heart, she’s come to terms with the fact that she’s not going to see Sophia again. But, it’s different for Daryl. He pulls away a little bit, to do what he needs to do, and I just don’t want him to go far. I’m concerned with him and I’m looking out for him now. Carol can’t drive by a stray she doesn’t pick up, and Daryl’s got nobody.
Reedus: Yeah, we look after each other, a little bit. Everyone’s having love affairs and impregnating each other, so what else are we going to do?
McBride: After this whole barn thing happens, there’s a lot of divisiveness and re-evaluating.
