Main characters

Character	Actor/actress	Starring seasons	Recurring seasons	Episode count	Status
Andrea	Laurie Holden	1, 2, 3	--	31	Deceased
Andrea (Laurie Holden) is Amy's older sister and a former civil rights attorney. Andrea is intelligent, cautious and extremely protective of her younger sister, with whom she has not always had the closest relationship. She undergoes a significant transformation following Amy's death. In the second season, she gradually becomes more independent and hones her shooting skills, having received tutelage by Shane. After being separated from the group in the third season, she is rescued by Michonne and is brought by Merle to Woodbury, where she begins a romantic relationship with The Governor. She is eventually caught in the crossfire between The Governor and Rick and attempts to mend relations, but later turns on The Governor after learning his true intentions. She attempts to warn Rick of The Governor's plans but fails, as The Governor captures her and hides her, bound and gagged, in his torture chamber. The Governor then orders Milton Mamet to kill her, but Milton instead attacks The Governor, who knifes him in the abdomen, mortally wounding him. The Governor decides to lock them in the room together, planning for a reanimated Milton to eat Andrea. She struggles to retrieve a pair of pliers purposely dropped by Milton to cut herself free from her bonds; however, she is bitten by the zombified Milton before she kills him. Rick, Michonne, Daryl and Tyreese arrive at the torture chamber and discover the bitten Andrea. As per her request, Rick hands her his revolver and, with Michonne by her side, plans to shoot herself in the head to prevent her reanimation. Rick, Sasha, Tyreese, and Daryl give Michonne and Andrea privacy, and the audience hears a shot. Her body is later brought back to the prison for burial.

Daryl Dixon	Norman Reedus	2, 3, 4	1	34	Alive
Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) is Merle's younger brother. A Southern redneck with a tough background, Daryl is a survivalist and member of the Atlanta band. He is one of the top experts with hunting weapons, killing deer and other animals for food. Daryl's signature weapon is a crossbow, a valuable weapon in the new world due to its stealth properties, reusable ammunition, and low noise emission. He constantly struggles with his own insecurities. In the second season, he is the group member most committed to searching for Sophia Pelletier, identifying with her cause. The discovery of an un-dead Sophia causes him to become aloof towards the group, especially towards the girl's mother, Carol. He eventually regains his bonds with the group and becomes a faithful follower of Rick Grimes and Rick's right-hand man. He also forms a devoted friendship with Carol in seasons 2 and 3, having saved her multiple times and made a connection with her (in that both of them come from abusive backgrounds). Daryl is eventually reunited with Merle when they become captives in Woodbury, before Rick's group rescues them. The brothers eventually start residing at the prison, where Daryl helps Merle adjust. When Merle leaves to kill The Governor, Daryl pursues him. He finds that Merle has been killed and reanimated as a walker, forcing a tearful Daryl to put him down. When he returns to the prison, Daryl participates in the successful defense of the prison against the Woodbury army. He, Rick, and Michonne pursue The Governor's men; however, they discover the slaughtered army and a survivor named Karen. After arriving at Woodbury, they - with Tyreese and Sasha's help - discover a dying Andrea, who ends her own life. Daryl accompanies the group and the Woodbury citizens to the prison.

Merle Dixon	Michael Rooker	3	1, 2	14	Deceased
Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) is Daryl Dixon's older brother. A Southern racist and misogynist, Merle lived with an abusive, neglectful father and acted out against society, which frequently landed him in juvenile institutions. Merle participates in one scavenging group mission with the Atlanta survivors and attacks members of the group, so Rick handcuffs him to a pipe. When walkers discover the group, T-Dog returns to free Merle but accidentally drops the key down a drainpipe and leaves him behind, after securing the entrance to the roof.^[1] Rick, T-Dog, and others return later to rescue Merle, but it is revealed that Merle had already escaped – having cut off his own cuffed hand in order to escape from the walkers.^[2] The group finds evidence that Merle survived his self-mutilation and escaped from the building he was trapped on; moreover, he may have stolen their truck to escape Atlanta. When T-Dog's injured arm becomes infected, Daryl gives him ampicillin from the stash Merle cached on his motorcycle, revealing Merle was a drug dealer.^[3] In the second season, Merle briefly appears in Daryl's hallucination, telling him the rest of the group doesn't care about Daryl and he is the only one who ever will. Merle returns in "Walk with Me", alive and residing at Woodbury, a thriving settlement in a ravaged town run by the malicious Governor. His stump has been concealed with a wrist cover that ends in a bayonet. He served as The Governor's second-in-command, but The Governor turns on him after Merle fails to kill Michonne, who later returns, kills The Governor's zombified daughter, Penny, and stabs The Governor in the eye. After Rick's group rescues him and Daryl, Merle is forced to join Rick's group at the prison, where he has difficulty adjusting. He attempts to prove himself by bringing Michonne to The Governor, but later changes his plan by letting Michonne go in order to take on The Governor himself. He kills eight of The Governor's henchmen (thereby improving the ability of Rick's small group to prevail in the upcoming war with The Governor's largely untrained army), but his ultimate plan fails, as The Governor kills him. Merle reanimates as a walker, and a heartbroken Daryl kills him by stabbing him in the head.^[4]

The Governor/Phillip Blake	David Morrissey	3, 4	--	15	Alive
Phillip Blake, known as "The Governor" (David Morrissey) is a major antagonist from the comics, who appears in the 3rd episode of Season 3 ("Walk With Me"). He is a disturbed man who is the leader of the fortified town of Woodbury. The townspeople are unaware of his sinister motives and many dark secrets, such as keeping his zombified daughter, Penny, locked in a cage, collecting heads of walkers displayed in fish tanks for his own amusement, and ordering his men to ambush and kill National Guardsmen and steal their supplies. His trusted allies include soldiers Merle Dixon and Ceasar Martinez, as well as scientist Milton Mamet, whom he knew before becoming "The Governor". He forms a romantic relationship with Andrea, while Michonne becomes suspicious of him and leaves Woodbury. When Rick's group attacks Woodbury to rescue Glenn and Maggie, Michonne discovers The Governor's decapitated walker heads and Penny, whom she kills. This angers The Governor, who vows revenge against Rick's group. He accuses Merle of betraying him, since Merle claimed to have killed Michonne but did not, and because his brother Daryl is with the group that attacked Woodbury. After The Governor attacks the prison, he follows Andrea's suggestion to propose a truce with Rick, whilst secretly planning to ambush and kill the prison group and torture Michonne. He builds an army of Woodbury citizens in order to prepare for another attack on the prison. When Andrea discovers his true intentions, she escapes Woodbury to warn Rick. However, The Governor captures her and keeps her in his torture chamber, bound and gagged. The Governor also loses trust in Milton, when he correctly guesses that Milton disclosed his plan to Andrea and suspects that Milton burned the captured walkers. When Merle ambushes his army, The Governor gains the upper hand and kills Merle, leaving him to reanimate. Back at Woodbury, after Milton challenges The Governor for reneging on his agreed-upon truce with Rick, The Governor pummels Milton for his betrayal and decides that Milton will be the one to kill Andrea. Milton attacks The Governor, who counters by fatally stabbing Milton in the gut, concluding that a reanimated Milton will eat Andrea. This leads to both the deaths of Milton and Andrea. The Governor and his army eventually attack the prison, but they are overwhelmed, leading them to retreat. The Governor, enraged at the newly conscripted Woodbury citizens for refusing to return and finish the fight against the prison group, proceeds to massacre the entire army, with the exception of Martinez and Shumpert^[5], who - though visibly shocked - remain allied with The Governor. The three then depart.

Beth Greene	Emily Kinney	4	2, 3	27	Alive
Beth Greene (Emily Kinney) is Hershel's younger daughter and Maggie's younger half-sister. She sinks into a deep depression after watching her mother,half-brother and neighbors, who had become walkers and were being housed in her father's barn, get shot. She attempts to convince Maggie to commit suicide with her and shortly afterward, attempts it on her own by cutting her wrists in the bathroom, but eventually she changes her mind. At the beginning of season 3, Beth becomes a more confident and useful member of the group, and is skilled at killing walkers. She sometimes sings to entertain the group. At the prison, she is often seen looking after baby Judith. When the Governor attacks the prison a second time, Beth hides with her father and Carl in the forest, and returns to the prison when the Woodbury army retreat. In season 4, Beth has developed a relationship with one of the new prison citizens, Zach. However, Zach is bitten and killed during a supply run, and Daryl delivers the news to Beth. She appears completely unfazed, replying "I don't cry anymore." and sets her Days Without an Accident board from 30 to 0.

Hershel Greene	Scott Wilson	3, 4	2	28	Alive
Veterinarian and farmer Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson) is a religious man and former alcoholic, clinging desperately to the old-world values in order to preserve his sanity. His extensive medical and agricultural knowledge prove to be valuable assets to the group. He initially regards the walkers as dangerous but curable patients and therefore lets Otis keep walkers in the barn. Among the walkers are his wife and stepson. When Rick's group finds out about the walkers, they proceed to execute each one of them, which in turn traumatizes Hershel who tells the group to leave his premises. Rick manages to comfort Hershel and convince him to let them stay at the farm. When the farm is overrun with walkers, Hershel decides to stay in order to defend his farm, however Rick convinces him to leave the land. Hershel grows to trust Rick's leadership. In the third season premiere ("Seed"), a walker bites him on the ankle; Rick amputates his leg at the knee, preventing the disease from spreading. Rick often confides in Hershel, seeing him as a reliable and sensible member of the group. When Rick becomes disillusioned following Lori's death and the Governor's impending attack, Hershel becomes frustrated with him, telling Rick to step up as a leader. Despite this, Hershel continues to be helpful to Rick, who (in "This Sorrowful Life") denounces sole leadership. Hershel, along with Beth and Carl, hides outside the prison during Woodbury's retreat, and witnesses Carl kill a young Woodbury soldier that lowered his weapon. A worried Hershel tells Rick about Carl's actions. When the rest of Woodbury's citizens arrive at the prison, Hershel is welcoming and happy to have new blood. In the season 4 premiere, set nearly 7 months later, Hershel has received care for his amputated leg and has been fitted with a prosthetic, allowing him to walk somewhat normally. He has become a leading member of the prison's "council" and has planted and grown a farm on the prison's lawn. Hershel continues to provide Rick and the rest of the prison with valuable advice and guidance. In the episode "Isolation", he was presumably infected with a potentially fatal disease, which several characters are on a journey to find antibiotics for.

Maggie Greene	Lauren Cohan	3, 4	2	29	Alive
Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) is Hershel's daughter and Beth's elder half-sister. A tomboy at heart, she scavenges supplies from the town. She has held a strong sense of faith throughout the years but begins to have doubt her beliefs. Her initial fling with Glenn Rhee gradually develops into a genuine relationship. She, along with her family and Rick's group, is forced to leave her farm when it is overrun with walkers. After many months living on the road, her group settles at the prison, where Maggie performs a crude C-section to deliver Lori Grimes' baby. Maggie and Glenn are captured by Merle and later tortured by Merle and The Governor to disclose they are residing at the prison; Rick's group rescues them. During the escape from Woodbury Maggie kills two guards, one of whom is Haley, and also shoots Oscar in the head to prevent him from turning after he is fatally shot. She helps defend the prison during The Governor's first attack, and kills the sniper stationed in the guard tower. She accepts Glenn's proposal of marriage and participate in Rick's successful ambush on The Governor's second attack on the prison. She guards the prison until Rick's group returns with the Woodbury survivors. Months later, it is revealed that Maggie believed herself pregnant, and had asked Glenn to look for baby supplies on the next run. She later appears confident that she is not pregnant, but does not give a reason as to how she knows this.

Carl Grimes	Chandler Riggs	1, 2, 3, 4	--	36	Alive
Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) is Rick and Lori's son, and Judith's older brother. He worships his father and is frequently confronted with the realities of the harsh new world. When his friend Sophia Peletier becomes a walker and is put down by his father, he becomes bitter towards the group and acts stubbornly, wanting to use a gun and yearning to fight alongside everyone else. Carl taunts a trapped walker before attempting to shoot it, but inadvertently sets it free; the walker later kills Dale. Carl feels guilty and tells Shane and his father that he was responsible for Dale's death. He finds his father being followed by a zombified Shane, and shoots Shane. After leaving the farm and transferring to the prison, he gradually begins to mature in his actions and thoughts, demonstrates bravery and leadership, and becomes skilled in killing walkers. When his mother dies during childbirth, he is forced to shoot her to prevent her reanimation. He names his baby sister Judith, after his third-grade teacher. After Rick's continual bouts of insanity, Carl suggests to his father that Rick should relinquish his leadership, as Rick deserves a rest. Carl saves the injured Michonne's life, when she appears outside the prison fence, but expresses resentment toward her on their road trip to King's County. He gradually starts to trust Michonne after she saves his life in a walker-infested cafe and helps him retrieve materials for his sister. After the episode in which Merle dies and Rick reveals his having considered giving Michonne to The Governor, Carl begins to become embittered towards his father. He kills a Woodbury soldier (Jody) whom he ordered to drop his gun but who instead seemed to advance toward Carl to hand it over. When confronted by Rick about the incident, Carl says that he had to eliminate the threat, then brings up his father's failures to kill Andrew and The Governor, which led to the deaths of Lori, T-Dog and Merle. Carl is displeased when his father returns with Woodbury's citizens to the prison. Rick, after giving up leadership, decides to live a life as the survivors' farmer to set an example to Carl. Due to this, Carl appears to have calmed down from his vigilante stint, and is attempting to live a normal life in the prison, gaining new friends among the new children. Carl witnesses Carol teach the children on how to use knives, and, despite Carol's urges not to tell his father, reveals this to Rick. After Carl assists the group in the walker attack in the prison, Rick reluctantly returns Carl's gun.

Lori Grimes	Sarah Wayne Callies	1, 2, 3	--	27	Deceased
Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies) is Rick's wife and Carl and Judith's mother. Although she had been sleeping with Shane when she thought Rick was dead, she is loyal to Rick once he returns, and she pushes Shane away from her and Carl, whom she is fiercely protective of. In the second season, she discovers she is pregnant but is unsure who the father his. She attempts to comfort Shane so he will feel accepted in their group, but she is cautious about his reckless actions, and ultimately warns Rick that Shane is dangerous. At the same time, she is disturbed by her husband's gradual change into a more morose person, and pushes him away after learning he killed Shane. From their escape from the farm till their endeavor to take up residence at the prison, Lori becomes increasingly estranged from Rick and Carl, which she blames on herself. She becomes worried about her baby's survival, and when she goes into labor following a walker attack, Lori convinces Maggie to give her a C-section, despite the fact that it will prove fatal for her. Lori dies giving birth, and Carl is forced to shoot her to prevent reanimation. She later appears to Rick in multiple hallucinations. When Rick brings the surviving citizens of Woodbury to the prison, he looks up at the catwalk and no longer sees Lori, indicating a possible end to his hallucinations.

Rick Grimes	Andrew Lincoln	1, 2, 3, 4	--	39	Alive
Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is the series' central character. A former sheriff’s deputy in King's County, a small Georgia town, Rick is an everyman^[6]^[7]^[8] — smart, calm, just, a sharpshooter, and a good friend, husband and father — but flawed. He sees most problems as black or white and will often stubbornly cling to his personal strong moral code, which results in his not always making the best decisions. Rick is a natural leader, someone his fellow survivors will turn to in a crisis, confident in his guidance, even when he at times doubts himself. His overwhelming need to do the right thing and protect those who can't protect themselves may pull him away from his family, causing cracks of tension within his marriage and in his relationship with his son. His frustrations about leading his group and keeping them safe gradually change him into a darker character. When the group is forced to leave the overrun farm, Rick establishes a dictatorship, and announces those who don't want to follow his leadership can leave. Rick transfers the group to the prison. When Lori dies during childbirth, he loses his sanity and repeatedly hallucinates her. He is forced to come into conflict with The Governor after his group attacks Woodbury to rescue Maggie and Glenn, and The Governor begins gunning for Michonne for killing The Governor's zombified daughter, Penny, and for putting out The Governor's eye. Rick eventually recovers from his bouts of insanity after encountering his long-lost friend, Morgan. When he is unable to make difficult decisions to keep his group safe, Rick relinquishes his role as a dictator and lets the group decide whether the prison is worth defending against The Governor. The group decides to stay, and they successfully defend the prison from The Governor, who flees with his army. Rick begins to worry about Carl's dark antics, such as killing the young Woodbury soldier, who Hershel said was trying to surrender, leading Rick and Carl to argue. Rick, Michonne, and Daryl head to Woodbury, intending to kill The Governor, and on the road discover The Governor's massacred army, rescue the lone survivor, Karen - who explains what occurred - and, in Woodbury, discover a dying Andrea. After Andrea kills herself to prevent reanimation, Rick brings Woodbury's survivors, including Tyreese, Sasha, and Karen, to the prison, much to Carl's displeasure. Hoping to set an example to Carl, Rick has turned to gardening and taking care of pigs, and no longer runs the prison, leaving it up to the prison council. While checking animal traps, he meets a disheveled Irish woman called Clara in the forest, who asks him to let her and her husband join him and the other survivors at the prison. Rick agrees, as long as she answers three questions, but realizes that Clara's husband is a walker and she plans to kill him as his food. Clara stabs herself and Rick reveals his 3 questions to her before she dies: "How many walkers have you killed," "How many people have killed," "Why?" Answering last question, she says, don't get things you've done." This resonates with Rick as chaos returns to the prison, with walker attacks at the inside and outside of the prison. He sacrifices his pigs to lure walkers away from the prison. Knowing his attempt to return to a normal life has failed, he burns his pig pen and gives Carl back his gun.

Dale Horvath	Jeffrey DeMunn	1, 2	--	16	Deceased
Dale Horvath (Jeffrey DeMunn) is an older man and former car salesman. His age, calm affect, worldly experience, and RV provide the nucleus around which the small community of survivors has formed. He is wise, sometimes profound, and the respected elder of the group, though he is also rather feisty and not afraid to speak his mind or call others out for mistakes in judgment. Over time he, Andrea, and Amy bond, and he finds their friendship invaluable in getting beyond grieving for his late wife. Dale is fairly self-sufficient and ever watchful of the changing dynamics among the survivor community. His equipment and know-how make life without modern conveniences much more bearable for the group. Dale manages to talk Andrea out of a suicide attempt by putting himself at risk, as well. Dale becomes wary of Shane, after witnessing that Shane contemplated killing Rick beforehand as well as guessing that Shane killed Otis whilst retrieving medical supplies for Carl. Dale becomes upset at the group (with the exception of Andrea) when they decide to kill Randall to avoid any risks he might have posed. The group eventually postpones the execution, but Dale is killed by a walker who was stuck in mud and was accidentally lured by Carl earlier that day. Dale's death causes the group to reevaluate their unity and allow Randall to live.

Michonne	Danai Gurira	3, 4	2	21	Alive
Michonne (Danai Gurira) is a resourceful, self-sufficient, katana-wielding survivor. She first appears as a hooded figure accompanied by two walkers chained to her side-by-side, with their arms and lower jaws cut off (to prevent their attacking her or anyone else), who saves Andrea from the walkers in the season 2 finale. When Michonne and Andrea are taken to Woodbury, Michonne immediately becomes suspicious of The Governor. She decides to depart Woodbury, which causes The Governor to send Merle and his men to kill her. She foils the plan, and Merle abducts Glenn and Maggie instead. Michonne finds her way to the prison, where she assists Rick's group in rescuing the two. When she arrives at The Governor's residence, she discovers his walker heads, as well as the Governor's zombified daughter Penny, whom she kills in front of the Governor. The two fight, which leads her to stab him in the eye. When she returns to the prison, she begins to gain the trust of the people there after assisting them in numerous errands. The Governor tells Rick he should hand over Michonne to him in order to maintain peace between the two groups. A redeemed Merle decides to hand her over, but changes his plan and lets her go to fight The Governor's army alone, which leads to his death. After the prison group drives away The Governor's army, which The Governor later massacres, Michonne and Rick arrive at Woodbury, where they discover Andrea dying from being bitten by a zombified Milton. Michonne is deeply saddened by the situation, and she stays by Andrea's side when Andrea commits suicide. Michonne later returns to the prison with Rick's group and the Woodbury citizens. She is also very unafraid of walkers to an extent where she sets free a small horde to slaughter. Months later, she has developed a desire to find the Governor, and has been searching for him on her horse whenever she can. She aims to search for him in Macon.

Carol Peletier	Melissa McBride	2, 3, 4	1	32	Alive
Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) is Sophia's protective mother and Ed's abused wife. She has a kind heart and puts herself out for others within the group. However, she can also become meek and overly emotional at times. She seems to gradually get more comfortable now that Ed is no longer there to make her feel out of place. She gets a little claustrophobic when she and the group travel into the CDC. In the second season, she is stricken with grief and depression over her daughter's going missing and eventually being discovered as a walker. She grows very close to Daryl, and gradually builds a sense of previously non-existent self-confidence. She initially doubts Rick's leadership, but later on starts to trust him in keeping the group safe. Throughout the third season she continues to grow into a dependable fighter and survivor and manages to keep herself alive after being separated from the group, when the prison is overrun with walkers. Carol's last discussion with Merle may have contributed to his decision-making in "This Sorrowful Life". Carol seems to share responsibilities with Beth for looking after Rick's baby daughter, Judith Grimes. In the 7 months leading up to Season 4, Carol has started a story time program for the younger kids from Woodbury, which is actually a cover for her self-defense and weapons training course for the children. She has kept the class a secret from Rick and the rest of the survivors. When the father of two children, Lizzie and Mika, dies to a walker attack, she becomes their adoptive mother. Despite Carol's urges, Carl, who has witnessed one of her sessions, tells Rick of her weapons training. Carol kills Karen and David in "Infected, as she believed they were a threat to the group due to their having the flu which was spreading through the Prison. For both the safety of the group and Carol herself, Rick banishes Carol from the group. He gives her a car and supplies so she can make it on her own. Though her exact whereabouts are unknown, she is presumed to be alive.

Glenn Rhee	Steven Yeun	1, 2, 3, 4	--	35	Alive
Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) lived in Atlanta, where he delivered pizzas for a living. He is keenly aware of the extreme danger of his missions on behalf of the group, but because of his youth he is willing to take the risks. His knowledge of every shortcut in Atlanta proves extremely useful to the survivor group's survival, and he is an excellent scavenger. Glenn thinks well on his feet and shows great compassion and humanity. Despite all the horrors he's seen, he maintains an enthusiasm for life and its unexpected pleasures. He is an integral part of Rick's group, showing surprising depth and emotion when the group experiences devastating tragedy. In the second season, he develops a passionate relationship with Maggie, while living on the Greene farm. In the third season, he becomes more confident and displays courage and ingenuity. He and Maggie are captured by Merle and tortured by The Governor, leading them to disclose the prison's location. They are later rescued by Rick's group; however, Glenn becomes bitter when he suspects The Governor raped Maggie, and he fills in as the leader when Rick and Daryl are absent. He later renews his relationship with Maggie and proposes marriage to her in the penultimate episode. He is among the people who retaliate against The Governor's army, and stays at the prison until Rick and Michonne return with the remaining Woodbury residents. In the season 4 premiere, it is revealed that Maggie thinks she is pregnant, and so he participates in the ill-fated supply run to a grocery store so that he can retrieve baby supplies. Later, it is revealed that Maggie is not pregnant as she thought before.

Sasha	Sonequa Martin-Green	4	3	9	Alive
Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) is Tyreese's younger sister. She travels with her brother's group to the prison and eventually to Woodbury, where she becomes a guard at Woodbury's walls alongside her brother. She is a truer shot than her brother, and with Tyreese, decides to stay behind with the people of Woodbury to protect them instead of joining the Woodbury army's attack on the prison. They let Rick's group in after Karen explains The Governor's onslaught on his men. Sasha, along with Tyreese, Karen, and other citizens of Woodbury are taken in by the prison group. By the time season 4 begins, she has been appointed to the prison Council, and participates on the majority of the supply runs that the prison organizes.

Bob Stookey	Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.	4	--	5	Alive
Bob Stookey (Larry Gilliard, Jr.) was an army medic before the zombie apocalypse started. Bob recently joined the prison community a week before the fourth season opener when Daryl found him surviving on his own. Bob maintains a confident face to prove his worth to the group, but struggles with alcoholism and his troubled past. During a supply run to a grocery store in the season premiere, he stares longingly at a bottle of wine, and picks it up briefly, but slams it back down, causing a case of wine bottles to collapse, alerting walkers from the roof that attack the group. Beth's boyfriend Zach is killed, but Bob manages to escape with the group. He later feels guilty about causing Zach's death, and later has trouble sleeping.

Tyreese	Chad L. Coleman	4	3	10	Alive
Tyreese (Chad Coleman) and his group make their debut in "Made to Suffer". He is surviving with his sister Sasha and Allen's family. His group initially seeks refuge at the prison, but after Rick drives them out, they find their way to Woodbury and reside there. He, along with Sasha, become guards at Woodbury's walls, but he gradually becomes wary of The Governor's intentions. Even though they know they will probably be expelled from the community for it, Tyreese and Sasha decide to remain in Woodbury to guard its citizens instead of joining The Governor's attack on the prison. When Rick's group arrives at Woodbury, Tyreese decides to let them in after Karen tells them about The Governor's massacre of his army. Tyreese and Sasha accompany Daryl, Rick, and Michonne in finding Andrea, whom they learn the reanimated Milton has bitten. After Andrea kills herself to prevent her reanimation, Rick's group takes Tyreese, along with Sasha, Karen, and other citizens of Woodbury to the prison. He becomes a prominent member of the survivor group. He has also started a relationship with Karen. He remains sensitive to the events surrounding him; he feels uncomfortable killing walkers at the prison fences, and then reaffirms that he dislikes leaving the prison since one of their own, Zach, was killed by walkers. Tyreese is saddened when Karen is struck by a fatal illness. He later visits her with flowers, but is horrified when he sees Karen's burned body outside her cell.

Shane Walsh	Jon Bernthal	1, 2	3	19	Deceased
Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) was a sheriff’s deputy in a small Georgia town; he was Rick’s partner in the sheriff’s department and best friend since high school. Shane harbors feelings for Lori, and the two begin a sexual relationship after Shane tells Lori that Rick is dead. Among the group of survivors, Shane initially acts as the de facto leader, a position he enjoys. He has always lived in Rick's shadow and, while he never consciously resented it, he relishes his newfound position of authority. Shane is the primary antagonist in Season 2, becoming increasingly prone to bouts of irrational violence and bloodlust, which gradually develop from the first season. His strong survival instinct and breakdown of conscience results in the deaths of Otis and Randall and in life-threatening gestures toward Dale and Rick, until Rick ultimately kills Shane in an act of self-defense. After Shane dies, he reanimates as a walker, tries to bite Rick, and is finally brought down by Carl. In "Made to Suffer", Rick mistakenly believes he sees Shane during the attack on Woodbury, walking through the smoke where "Shane" fatally shoots Oscar before Rick shoots and kills him. When Rick inspects the body, it turns out to be that of an ordinary Woodbury soldier and not Shane.

Recurring characters

Atlanta survivors

Name	Actor/actress	Season(s)	Episode count	Status
Amy	Emma Bell	1, 3	6	Deceased
Amy (Emma Bell) is Andrea's kid sister. Amy was heading to college for the new school year with Andrea, when the outbreak occurred. When the dead begin to rise, Amy and Andrea join the survivor group existing on the outer limits of the overrun city of Atlanta. The two make their home in Dale’s RV, with Amy helping to look out for the kids in the camp. Amy is twelve years younger than Andrea, which causes tension between them; primarily, Amy resents Andrea's leaving her behind at home and not coming back often enough to visit and be a part of her life. The experience of the apocalypse strengthens their bond enormously (though Amy, despite worshiping her sister and seeing her as a role model, still doesn’t appreciate being judged and ordered around by her). Amy is still such a kid in some way, so Andrea gets her a Mermaid necklace from the shop. One night, Amy is bitten by a walker in the opening stages of a walker swarm's attack on the exposed camp and dies in Andrea’s arms of blood loss and trauma after all the walkers have been killed. Andrea cradles Amy's body and shoots her in the head after she reanimates. Amy is then buried on the hill, on her birthday. Andrea is distraught after Amy's death and wants to stay in the CDC and die, as she thinks she has nothing else to live for, but Dale convinces Andrea not to. Amy is mentioned a few times in Season 2, e.g., when Carol's daughter Sophia disappears, Carol worries that "she won't turn out like Amy", and Shane uses Amy's death to infuriate Andrea into getting her to practice shooting walkers. In the Season 3 episode, "Hounded", Amy's is the first voice to call Rick. Throughout the series, Andrea mentions Amy in her conversations.

Jacqui	Jeryl Prescott Sales	1, 3	6	Deceased
Jacqui (Jeryl Prescott Sales), a former employee at the Atlanta City Zoning Office, develops a strong friendship with Jim. After his death, she accompanies the band to the Atlanta Centers for Disease Control. At first, she believes the CDC will have a cure and save them, and she despairs with the rest of the group when they learn that is untrue. She elects to remain behind with Dr. Jenner when the CDC self-destructs, holding his hand when the building explodes. In "Hounded", hers is the third voice Rick hears on the phone.

Jim	Andrew Rothenberg	1, 3	5	Undead
Jim (Andrew Rothenberg) is a mechanic from a large family in Atlanta. When the dead began to rise, Jim remained generally unaware of this until the city, decreed a safe zone by the government, gradually started to become overrun with walkers. Jim was among the few who escaped from Atlanta as it was completely overwhelmed, though his entire family died in the chaos, shielding him from the walkers long enough to allow him to escape. Emotionally traumatized and devastated, Jim joined the survivor group just beyond the city's outer limits. He became the most taciturn member, revealing almost nothing about his past and barely saying a word. He shows some signs of precognition, e.g., he digs graves in preparation for a walker attack that kills several group members (although he has trouble remembering his motivation for doing so) and reacts to Shane and Carl as if he has a premonition of the events to come in "Better Angels". During a walker attack on the group, Jim is bitten but says nothing until Jacqui finds out. Jim suffers the effects of the plague for days, and begins to show flashes of walker-like perceptions. Refusing a mercy killing, Jim asks to be abandoned on the road to the CDC in order to rejoin his family, either in heaven or literally as a walker. The beginning stages of his transformation into a walker are unambiguously portrayed in the show. In "Hounded", he is the second voice to call Rick on the telephone.

Morales	Juan Gabriel Pareja	1	4	Unknown
Morales (Juan Gabriel Pareja) is Miranda Morales' husband and Eliza and Louis Morales' father. He is known only by his last name. Morales, who knows parts of the city's infrastructure, accompanies the scavenging group to downtown Atlanta. After the survivors decide to go to the CDC, Morales and his family decide to try their luck locating relatives in Birmingham, Alabama. They are never again seen or mentioned after that. Morales first appears in "Guts", while his family is introduced in "Tell It to the Frogs". Morales is level-headed and devoted, often sticking his neck out for members of the group (especially his family).

Morales Family	Vivana Chavez, Maddie Lomax and Noah Lomax	1	3	Unknown
The Morales family (Viviana Chavez, Maddie Lomax, and Noah Lomax) consists of the husband, who goes by his last name, his wife Miranda, and their two young children, Eliza and Louis. Morales, who knows parts of the city's infrastructure, accompanies the scavenging group to downtown Atlanta. After the survivors decide to go to the CDC, the Morales' decide to try their luck locating relatives in Birmingham, Alabama. They are never again seen or mentioned after that. The father, Morales, first appears in "Guts". The rest of the family first appears in "Tell It to the Frogs". Miranda is shown to be a cheerful, optimistic woman, and Eliza and Louis are seen as very friendly and playful. The family is seen as being very close to the Grimes and Peletier families (with the possible exception of Ed); both families are visibly distraught by their decision to leave the group.

Ed Peletier	Adam Minarovich	1, 2	4	Deceased
Ed Peletier (Adam Minarovich) is Carol's husband and Sophia's father. He is lazy, abusive, and sexist. It's also heavily implied that he harbors underlying sexual feelings toward Sophia. After Ed slaps his wife in front of other survivors, Shane beats Ed badly, threatening to kill him the next time he sees Ed lay his hands on his family or anyone else again. Due to his injuries, Ed remains in his tent and becomes the first victim of a subsequent walker attack, when he unknowingly opens the tent to a walker outside (see "Vatos"). In Season 2, Carol's hatred for Ed is established when it is revealed Carol prayed for Ed to die for all the discomfort and harm he projected onto her and her daughter. In "Chupacabra", he appears in a flashback to the beginning of the outbreak, when his family and others are trying to get into Atlanta. He is a survivalist and packed ample supplies, but berates Carol for wanting to give away some of their available food to the Grimes family.

Sophia Peletier	Madison Lintz	1, 2	8	Deceased
Sophia Peletier (Madison Lintz) is Carol and Ed Peletier's 12-year-old daughter. Sophia and her mother are shown to be closer to the Grimes family after Ed is killed by a walker, and both become more outspoken and happy following Ed's demise. In the first episode of Season 2, walkers chase Sophia into the woods and she becomes detached from the group. The group searches for her, but in the mid-season finale, it is revealed that Sophia became a walker and was being kept in Hershel's barn. Rick remorsefully shoots her and she is buried at the farm.

Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas	IronE Singleton	1, 2, 3	20	Deceased
Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas (IronE Singleton) is a muscular and well-intentioned man, yet somewhat clumsy and lacking in common sense. He faces grief and regret after accidentally dropping the key to Merle's handcuffs down a drainpipe, leaving Merle trapped on a rooftop while their group flees the city (in "Guts"). T-Dog secures the entrance to the roof and the group soon returns to save Merle, but Merle is gone, having left his amputated hand behind. After their camp on the outskirts of Atlanta is overrun by zombies, T-Dog and the remaining survivors move to Hershel's farm. When the farm is overrun by walkers, T-Dog escapes with a few other survivors. He is keen on moving on and escaping, but Lori convinces him to turn back to get Rick and the others. T-Dog's full name is first stated in conversation with Dale, in "Bloodletting", and he becomes one of Rick's most loyal men as the series progresses. Later on, when the group is at the prison, T-Dog disagrees with Rick's plan to send off the surviving prisoners; in that same episode, T-Dog is bitten by a walker and then sacrifices his life to allow Carol to escape when they run out of ammunition.

Their plan was to head for Atlanta in search of military protection. En route, a walker attacked Jenny, forcing the family to seek refuge in Rick’s neighbor's house. After Jenny died of the walker virus and reanimated, Morgan and Duane stayed in the town, fearful of moving on, with Morgan also unwilling to leave Jenny behind even though she is now a walker. Fiercely protective, Morgan barricades himself and Duane inside a vacant house belonging to Rick’s neighbor. Despite the dire conditions, Morgan still endeavors to create normalcy for Duane, correcting his son’s grammar and engaging in mealtime prayers. Both remain haunted by the loss of Jenny, who returns to the house regularly as a walker and turns the doorknob. Morgan and Duane meet Rick after he returns from the hospital; they take him in and tell him about the rise of the dead, its effects, and the possibility of survivors in Atlanta. Morgan declines Rick’s invitation for him and Duane to accompany him to Atlanta, so Rick eventually parts ways with the father and son.
