To lead up to the unveiling, we are posting aTWDnews item every day.
Carol has left the cabin.
But McBride is back in the fight in season 8, and the actress couldnt be happier about it.
Theres just no way getting around that if she comes to terms with it.
Does she at this point consider herself an Alexandrian still?
Does she now consider herself a member of the Kingdom?
Or is it neither or both?Oh, I think its both.
Theyre coming together to fight this one horrible enemy.
Shes still got her family that she started out with.
Good versus bad, thats whats so compelling about this is because everybodys just trying to survive.
Im doing it for these people and they cant do it.
Theyd be lost without me.
Its very compelling on that level and I am enjoying season 8, Ive got to say.
This is like back in the old days, you know?
This is what I was yearning for last year.
But boy, it was nerve-racking.
I mean, I enjoy the conflict of the show, but being separated was just nerve-racking.
I couldnt wait to see where this was going and when were all going to get together again.
Shes blowing things up, so cover your ears!
