TheWalkingDead actress Emily Kinney reveals the major Beth change that was planned for her, until she shot it down.

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.

The death of Beth Greene of course was one of the more memorable and tragic moments of The Walking Dead season 5. After disappearing while traveling with Daryl, Beth was later revealed to have been abducted by police officers along with Carol and taken to a hospital in Atlanta. Far from being safe inside a hospital full of police, Beth found herself in the middle of a power struggle between the facility’s leader Dawn and some of the other officers.

"Scott Gimple talked to me one day about — I don't know if you guys remember, but [Beth] had a big scar, when I show up in the hospital, something bad happened to [Beth] and I had a big scar. He had this idea of the scar being on my head and my head being shaved, all messed up — not completely shaved, but all messed up. I said, 'Okay, sure, as the dedicated actress, I would love that.

Of course Kinney was correct in her assumption that Beth would soon be killed off. Obviously seeing the character with her trademark blonde hair partially shaved off would have added to the emotional power of her situation in the hospital. But it was perfectly reasonable for Kinney to request she not have to take such a drastic step if indeed the plan was for her character to soon die anyway.

Obviously there were many Walking Dead fans who were enraged when Beth was so unceremoniously eliminated . As it turns out though, Beth almost met an even more brutal demise in The Walking Dead season 3, as the original plan was for her to be murdered in the woods by Axel. Producers ultimately nixed Beth’s season 3 demise however, on the grounds that it would be too dark even for a show about the zombie apocalypse.
