Saturday 17th September 2022 was the day I got the opportunity to tick another Walking Dead actor off my bucket list. Over that weekend, three of the cast appeared in Northern Ireland at Comic Con Northern Ireland out in the Eikon Centre Lisburn. Of course, I had to go.
I had seen them before at the Walker Stalker conventions over in london but had not met two of them. Enid was never in the comics and was created especially for the show as a love interest for Carl Grimes. When Carl died and the time jump took place, Enid became the doctor of the Hilltop. Her time would come to an end when she along with several others including Tara and Henry end up being kidnapped and decapitated by Alpha and the Whisperers. It was an iconic comic moment and the real life visual was no less shocking.
When I spoke to her she was so nice and chatty. She revealed she had only gotten the script of her death three days in advance. It had been shrouded in secrecy as King Ezekiel in the comics found his head on a spike. The television show diverged from that completely. Rick Grimes and Michonne both recently left the show so losing another big name charater so soon probabaly saved Ezekiel. She also signed the Walking Dead issue 144 featuring the heads on spikes moment picking the character that looked like her.
A great actress and a pleasure to talk to, Katelyn is a worthy addition to any convention.
