The Walking Dead Showrunner on Lydia’s Fate

Warning: This story contains spoilers for the Sunday “Family” episode of The Walking Dead. Love bites, especially Lydia (Cassadie McClincy). In Sunday Family, Aaron (Ross Marquand), Jerry (Cooper Andrews), Lydia and her new friend Elijah (Okea Eme-Akwari) take care of their way through a walking herd with Luke (Dan Fogler) and Jules (Alex Sgambiti), who may be the survivors. The only ones from Oceanside. Still troubled by their confrontation with the “climber” breed of diverse infantry, Aaron’s group was caught in the herd when Governor Pamela Melton (Lily Robbins) called a “B-17”: a fake Army flag to nurture the squadron toward the city and put the Commonwealth in closed case.

Aaron, Jerry and Lydia manage to turn away toward an abandoned RV, but Jules is stuck in a wall of pedestrians who push her through the crowd. While Luke deteriorates after Jules, Elijah fails to break free from the herd and into the open door of his RV. Lydia grabs Elijah to keep him from drifting away, exposing her forearm to a walker that sinks her teeth into her skin, tearing the flesh from her wrist.

Inside an RV, Aaron and Jerry are forced to amputate Lydia’s arm before the infection spreads. “I can’t lose him,” Lydia says of Elijah, dragged away by the flock. Aaron tells her, “Then he’s going to lose you. Do you understand?”

Aaron – who had his accident that left him amputated – prepares for Lydia for emergency surgery. “You know what happened to me. I did it all right, yeah? That’s the hardest part,” Aaron assured her. “You’re so lovable, Lydia. We’ll help you get through this, okay?”

Aaron and Jerry tie her arm with a belt. She bites. With a blow of his blade, Jerry cuts off Lydia’s arm.

“Cassady, who plays Lydia, she’s amazing. She can tap into Lydia’s pain spectrum really well and quickly,” said Angela Kang, show host at AMC+. TWD: The Ring From Within. “So it was really touching when we saw the footage coming back trying to reach and hold on to the person she loves, when he got bitten, and when she knew she had to cut her tip off, because she’s still thinking about someone else at that moment.”

“It really brings a lot of emotion and sensitivity to that character,” Kang continued. “I think Aaron and Jerry are very parenting… they’re very good at keeping the people around them feeling safe when they’re in this situation. I really like the work they did on serializing like this, because those are always difficult sequences, kind of all side, I think.”

the walking Dead The series finale, “Rest in Peace,” premieres Sunday, November 20 on AMC and AMC+.
