She's lovely, she sings well, she acts terrible.


I want her die in Walking Dead soon so she can take time making some music records, while she's still young. And I don't like beth at all anyway.

I disagree, she's my favourite character after Daryll. And as for concentrating on music "while she's young", sadly 29 isn't young when it comes to modern music. Most "big stars" are late teens to mid twenties. I'd much rather see her on screen, than listen to her on the radio.

OMG she's already 29 that's my age

OK she's not young, too late to be a pop star, I hold my word back, stay alive Beth

She's actually a good actress. Her character is a little naive dummy on the show and she plays the part really well. She reminds me of a lot of people I know in real life who would act that exact way in a zombie apocalypse.

I don't really see much in future as far as acting.

She's getting too old to play these young characters she's best at, yet she can't convincingly play an adult. There's also the issue of her lack of acting ability. She's so wooden and lifeless in her performances: completely devoid of any screen presence or charisma. It's hard to explain, but her eyes are completely lifeless, as if nothing is going on behind them.

My guess is we'll see her show up in some more guest spots on television shows.

You need English lessons more than Emily needs singing lessons. She has a voice, she fits her character as needed. Beth's death in this show was completely unnecessary and unwanted by all the fans. Well, all the fans except you I suppose. I doubt you have even seen the entire series, otherwise you would love Beth. Her demise was not totally unlike Sophie's...if you even know who that is.

Another thing to top this, I don't know ANYONE at 29 that looks as young as she does. So she can sing, act, and looks amazing. Thats a trifecta in her career. The writers of The Walking Dead made a HUGE mistake....wonder if one of the writers/producers made a move on her and she refused..thus the unnecessary and way to early death....

it is kind of interesting. at first I thought of Beth as a throw away character. she stayed in a room on the farm & she held Judith / Sang a song occasionally in the prison. I.e. the epitome of zombie food. but all it really took was a few episodes to add depth & make me actually care about her character. So I was sad to see Beth leave the show after they finally made her a character I was interested in seeing. Then again. from a story perspective? it did make the most sense. of the main characters she had the least amount of story still to tell. Rick is Rick. We still have a lot to learn about Michonne. Daryl isn't going anywhere. Carol has more to offer the series. Sasha has the bob thing to add depth to her (possible pregnancy too) & tyrese. Glenn & Maggie are a couple. & the new folks haven't gotten enough time to develop. So that leaves Beth. She was relatively developed (despite most of that happening in only a few episodes & didn't have enough growth potential). Noah was too green to kill off etc. so she was a logical choice to go. I'll tip one for Beth.

I also disagree -- though many months later. She has a sweetness about her, And I loved how she grew in her part as Beth Green in 'Walking Deed' -- from an almost annoyingly shy girl to a tough, clear, blue-eyed killer. More, I accepted and believed it.
