I know I can’t be the only one still grieving over Beth’s death, so why not dig the knife a little deeper and reminisce on a few reasons as to why we’ll miss her on The Walking Dead.
1. Her age. Other than Carl (and of course Judith) Beth was the youngest of the group. She was still finding herself when the apocalypse began, and just as she started coming to her own – bang. Guess we’ll have to wait for Carl to get a bit older before get to see how growing up surrounded by the not-so dead, violence, and constant death affects a teen in the long-run.
2. Her innocence. Somehow, even while killing walkers or on the search for an alcoholic beverage, Beth was able to bring a certain amount of innocence to the show that most all the other living characters lack.
3. Her occasional tune. Singing during the apocalypse might seem a little weird, but that’s why we love it. Sometimes when words aren’t enough to comfort those around you, a song just might do the trick. Plus, iTunes isn’t an option, so they might as well take what they can get.
4. Her relationship with her sister. Though Beth and Maggie haven’t been around one another since the prison, we still love their sisterly relationship. Sure, we have Tyreese and Sasha to give us a bit of sibling love, but we’re still going to miss the Greene sisters.
5. Bethyl. I know I’m not the only one who ships these two. It was interesting to see how their relationship slowly progress from no interaction to two very close people who may or may not have romantic feelings towards one another. We loved learning more about Beth, and watching how she changed Daryl and his perspective on certain things.
And there you have it! 5 reasons we’ll miss Beth on TWD. On a side note, I should mention that rumors have been circulating that Beth’s death was simply a dream of Carol’s… We’re hoping the rumors are true, because TWD won’t be the same without Emily Kinney’s character.
