Kirkman felt that it was the right move for the show, as it helped make the Governor a more sinister villain for season 4 and pushed Rick in the direction the writers needed him to go.ĭue to Andrea's presence in The Walking Dead comics, her death in season 3 prevented many stories from happening and also paved the way for Rick to have a romance with Michonne (Danai Gurira). Kirkman explained that her death made sense due to all the " twists and turns" that the Woodbury story had taken in season 3, and he also talked about the impact it had on the characters as a motivating factor for killing off Andrea early. It was suggested by former showrunner Glen Mazzara in the writers' room, followed by a great deal of debate. In fact, what the writers wanted to do with Andrea in the first place was much closer to the comics, and the plan was for Andrea to " save Woodbury on a horse" and start a relationship with Rick. Laurie Holden has revealed in interviews that she had an " 8-year deal" on the show, and she was shocked when she was suddenly told that Andrea was going to die in season 3.Īccording to Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, this was not a decision that the writers arrived at easily.

Her story came to an end in The Walking Dead #168, shortly after the battle with the Whisperers ended, when she was bitten by a zombie. The two also shared a romantic relationship. During this time, she was one of Rick's most reliable allies. In The Walking Dead comics, Andrea survived the conflict with the Governor, and went on to play important roles in the story arcs that followed, including Alexandria, the battle with Negan and the Saviors, and the Whisperer War.
What happened to Andrea in the season 3 finale isn't at all what happened in the comic book version of the story.
