Walking Dead's Beth Actress Fought Against One Major Character Change
The Walking Dead’s Beth actress reveals the one major change to her character she fought against. Maggie’s teenaged half-sister Beth Greene debuted on AMC’s zombie drama way back in season 2. She remained a major character until her death in season 5.
