"I think Andrea is in a severe depression," Holden told MTV News when asked about her character's state of mind at the end of the finale. "I think she's very apathetic. Her reason to live has been taken from her. Amy was her heart."

"Her deciding in the season finale that she was going to live wasn't necessarily for her. It's because she didn't want another death on her hands. Dale gave her no choice. She's looking at this man and he's saying, 'I'm going to die if you don't get it together. I'm going to die if you don't come with me.' ... She kind of hates him for it, because she wants to check out."


"At first, Andrea doesn't know that she has this skill set," said Holden of the chances of seeing her portray the side of the character that can kick ass with a gun. "I think that will organically unfold where she'll actually go to the shooting range or something will be written where she's like, 'Oh, I'm a natural!' I am so excited, because I have a little bit of a tomboy in me, but I'm very excited to start going out with the guys and start shooting zombies."

"You can borrow my crossbow," Reedus added, to which Holden laughed: "That's so sweet!"

"I think there are leader qualities in Daryl, so I think once some trust issues are more defined, he'll take on roles that are less hot-headed. Maybe he'll find some love. I think once he's out of the shadow of his big brother, I think he can man up and be less of the eight-year-old, and not exactly a kick-ass man, but a make-decisions man," said Reedus of where we might see the character progress next year.





And in related news, Deadline report that the season finished on an incredible ratings high. Here's an excerpt from their report:

More than 6 million viewers tuned in last night for the closer, eclipsing the previous series high of 5.6 million posted the previous Sunday. In 18-49, the finale averaged 4 million, also a new record and the highest ever for a basic cable drama series. With a series average of 3.5 million adults 18-49, The Walking Dead also has become the most watched drama series in basic cable history in the demo.
