Top 10 Best The Walking Dead Characters To Date
Starting off as a cult comic book and finding unrivaled success as an AMC drama, The Walking Dead has build up a vast fanbase consisting of avid watchers from all around the world.
Every season is full of twists and turns, as well as the addition of new characters and development on existing ones, each with their own plot and storylines to keep the suspense in progress. But with so many to choose from, who are the top 10 Walking Dead characters to date? Read on to find out.
10: Shane Walsh
Shane started out as the best friend of main character Rick, although he quickly turned into a villain of sorts. Although not the most loyal buddy around, Shane was still focused on the survival of the group.
9: Glenn Rhee
Glenn is one of the first survivors we see in the TV show and is known for his skill at getting past zombies without notice.
His bravery is unparalleled, and he’s willing to apply his techniques to any situation that could help out a friend. This kindness in a situation where it’s every man for himself is admirable.
8: Maggie Greene
The eldest daughter of Herschel and love interest of Glenn, Maggie has fought through adversity to become a soldier in her own right. Throughout the series, Maggie loses her entire family, making her only more focused on survival and protecting the friends she has left.
Despite all she’s been through, Maggie doesn’t turn cold, eventually marrying Glen. She is proof that there’s always a positive to be found.
7: Andrea Harrison
After Andrea’s sister Amy is killed, she fights to take charge and defend Amy’s honour. She’s an excellent fighter, ready to defend those she cares about through thick and thin. Despite getting caught up in problematic associations with The Governor in Season 3, Andrea’s heart stayed with her friends until her death, proving her loyalty to those she loves in spite of the situation.
6: Carl Grimes
Being so young at the time of the outbreak, Carl Grimes had to grow up extremely quickly. While originally protected by his father Rick and the group, Carl has since grown into a brave young man who’s able to fend for himself and make difficult decisions based on what’s right for the group and their best chance of survival.
Through his experiences, Carl has become a truly balanced character, displaying the fine line between toughness and morality.
5: Carol Peletier
Carol may have begun as a submissive housewife of an abusive husband, but the dynamic quickly changed. With her daughter’s best interests at heart, Carol rose above her fears and learned to stand up for what she believes in. By Season 5 of the TV show, Carol had become a natural leader, helping her friends and the rest of the group reach safety. It’s this type of strong development that makes for a great character!
4: The Governor(Philip Blake)
The Governor has become a classic villain of The Walking Dead, known for his cruel and torturous ways. While his actions are deplorable, this just makes for an exciting character that fans love to hate, making him one of the best written in the series. Luckily, we see him get his comeuppance in Season 4.
3: Daryl Dixon
Daryl is a popular hit with fans of both the comic and the TV show, which is unsurprising when you consider his cool yet powerful character traits. Daryl may seem like he’s taking it easy, but he’s ready to defend both himself and his friends should the need arise.
His laid back attitude makes him a loyal friend, willing to help other members of the group before himself on several occasions.
2: Michonne
Building strength from her difficult past has no doubt contribute to Michonne’s ability to lead the way and prove herself as a survivor. Her sword play is just bad ass.
1: Rick Grimes
When it comes down to it, Rick Grimes truly is the main character of the show. While some may have issues with decisions his character has made over time, he’s still had the most character development to work with. What’s important to remember about Rick is that he doesn’t claim to be a superhero.
All he wants is to stay alive – and help his friends do the same. Rick is a natural born leader, without whom the group may not have come as far as they have.

Hey there.
I’m keeping this anonymous as it’s a little weird – I’m really not blaming you or trying to make things awkward. I don’t know who you’ve been hiring to write articles for this blog – I’m guessing they gave me a fake name. Christian Hart ring any bells? Probably not, I’m assuming he’s lied to you too.
Whoever he is, you should probably know he ‘hired’ me to write this blog post and it turned out to be total scam.
I wrote that article and sent it to this guy, along with over 60 other articles he’d asked for. Then on the agreed payment date, he took off. Blocked me on Skype and no response on his email.
We had a contract, but hey – I guess fake ones don’t mean much!
I found where this article had been posted after I ran a few paragraphs of each one through Google.
I just thought you should know that whoever you’re paying is a total asshat. I wasted two weeks working for him. I highly recommend paying a ‘writer’ who actually writes.
This is from iWriter. I suggest you write on a platform that protects the writer from stuff like that. You are welcome to contact me if you want to write for the blog.
Cheers,
Kenny
Well excuse me for trying to advise! I wasn’t asking for your help – simply highlighting the fact you’ve chosen to work with someone so shady and potentially protecting you from being scammed yourself.
It seems like you’re a little confused though.
Real writers don’t use ‘platforms’. We market our services fairly using our own sites and connections. Unfortunately encountering a bad egg is possible when being too trusting – this was the first and last time I worked without a deposit, lesson learned!
Please do not devalue our industry further by using what are referred to as ‘content mills’.
