After getting a degree, she eventually became a successful civil rights attorney. During this time she was in college to study law, Andrea remained distant from her family, frequently missing Amy's birthday parties. Because of their different personalities, their parents gave them different upbringings. Andrea was shown to have become very bold as shown by her attempt to kill the Governor in order to protect her former group from certain death by the man but unfortunately failed, leading to her tragic demise.Īndrea was born in 1974, twelve years ahead of her sister.

During the second half of the third season, it is shown that Andrea possesses strong leadership abilities as shown by a speech delivered to the Woodbury people following an attack by Rick and his group and does not see a war between the two groups as necessary.

By season three, she had been separated from the group after the farm was overrun, and was saved by Michonne Hawthorne, with whom she forms a close bond.Īfter being brought to Woodbury, she begins a relationship with the Governor, which eventually ends when Andrea realizes that the Governor has a dark, sadistic nature. Her new attitude causes her to neglect helping around the farm in favor of sitting on Dale's RV with a gun much of the time, earning her the ire of the others for not doing her share of the farm's chores. It is shown that Andrea looks up to Shane as a better leader for the group than Rick and follows him on many crucial decisions such as abandoning the search for Sophia and killing the walkers in Hershel's barn. However, after adequate training with Shane Walsh, she becomes quite efficient with firearms and became a strong protector for the group and is more than willing to protect the group from any danger. Her closeness to Amy is what directly influences her into becoming suicidal around the end of season one and possibly her reason to punish Dale Horvath, as she blames him for not letting her die in the way she wanted to and continuing to make her live in the cruel post-apocalyptic world.ĭuring season two, she begins to become more independent, even considering leaving the group, and wanting to keep the gun her father gave her, despite Dale's disapproval due to her lack of gun knowledge and brief suicidal streak. Andrea is stubborn, opinionated and first and foremost interested in keeping herself and those she cares about most out of harms way. Never one to shy away from a challenge or a fight.

She was extremely protective of her younger sister before her death.

Ultimately, it makes little sense to bring back a relatively minor character just to see them again, especially if it’s someone fans never loved all that much to begin with (and Beth certainly had her haters when she originally appeared on The Walking Dead).Andrea is strong, cautious, and brave. Of course, flashback and dream sequence returns can easily come off clumsy and hollow if there’s no compelling story-based reason for them to happen. Beth’s backstory would already seem to be pretty filled out given that the character spent several seasons on the show, but perhaps there is more there for the show to explore. Indeed, TWD producer Scott Gimple recently teased the possibility of more dead characters returning, perhaps in a limited series, in episodes that flesh out their backstories. With Beth’s sister Maggie getting set to return to the show full-time in season 11 after a long hiatus as actress Lauren Cohan pursued other opportunities, it would seem the chances should be there for a more substantive return for Kinney, via flashback.
