Actress Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori Grimes on AMC's The Walking Dead) talks about her character's final moments and a secret tradition of the cast.
Q: That was a powerful episode! What was it like to watch your character meet her end?
A: It was interesting because we shot [Episode 4] in June. There was a whole emotional process of getting it together and shooting it, grieving and saying goodbye to everyone. That process was more or less complete a while ago. And then I sat down and watched it! I was nervous because I was expecting it to hurt, but I was so proud of Chandler [Riggs] and proud to say I was a part of helping to build that show. I think Lori's death did justice to that; she was a remarkable and powerful woman and she was given a remarkable and powerful death. Pride and gratitude were what I came away with.

For all of Lori's shortcommings, that last scene was just so damn powerful, how she faced death head on, such conviction, Sarah killed that scene. That's how you die!!!
ReplyDeleteI found myself missing Lori now, who would have guessed?? Stiill today, too many emotions!!
I suppose even if she was more popular throughout the series, they don't want to deviate too much from the comics... they've certainly mixed things around a bit but have kept certain "landmark" events.
ReplyDeleteGonna miss seeing Sarah on this show :( I for one like Lori, but Ive followed Sarah since Prison Break :)
ReplyDeleteI was devestated watching the episode, especially since I've read the graphic novels and knew she wasn't meant to die in childbirth. Only elpisode so far to make me cry... and I wept.
ReplyDeleteYes me too!
