We wanted to update readers on a few items related to The Walking Dead, including zombie limb bookends from Gentle Giant, an infographic with interesting facts from the TV series, and a Q&A with Emily Kinney. To start things of, here are highlights from a recent Q&A AMC conducted with Emily Kinney, who plays Beth Greene on the TV show:
"Q: You live in New York City. Have you completely lost your anonymity with the success of the show?
A: After that first episode of Season 3 where I sang, I noticed a little bit more of a change. Now if I'm out and about people will come up and start talking to me like they feel like they know me! And I'm like, "Oh hi. What's your name?" It's cool to see how many people follow the show.
Q: How did the producers find out about your singing abilities?
A: [Co-Executive Producer and Writer] Evan Reilly came to one of my shows in New York City. People knew that I was a songwriter, and they knew that I could sing, but I think that Glen [Mazzara] had the idea.
Q: Last season you told us about how you hadn't gotten to kill a walker yet. Can you tell us about your first kill?
A: It was in the first episode and I can't tell you how happy I was. I got him through the fence with a crowbar. It was really satisfying.
Q: Beth gets some good screen time with the baby. Have you two developed a bond?
A: Yeah, but then they have to switch them. I loved the first two babies, but they're supposed to be newborns and babies get big really quickly. So they had to hire a new set of twins. But a baby crying on set adds this real feeling to it. I think I'm the best [at holding them]. Andy's really good with the babies, too. Maybe it's because he's got kids."
