The Walking Deads Emily Kinney Open to Returning on One Condition – Comicbook.com

Emily Kinney would return to The Walking Dead if a reprisal of her role as Beth Greene made sense. Kinney played Beth, daughter of Hershel (Scott Wilson) and half-sister to Maggie (Lauren Cohan), across four seasons, ending her tenure with the show when Beth was shot and killed in Season 5 episode Coda. Beth was among the deceased characters whose voice could be heard by a gravely wounded Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in Season 9 episode What Comes After, and Kinney was again involved with The Walking Dead in Season 10 when Kinneys music could be heard in episode 10x05, What It Always Is.

Yeah, I mean, totally. Its so fun, Kinney told Skybounds Talk Dead to Me podcast when asked if she was open to ever reprising her role, either through flashback or dream sequence. I love playing Beth, I love acting, I love being on set. If it made sense and was cool, yeah, Im always open. I love working [laughs].

After Beths death in Coda, she first reappeared as a vision hallucinated by a bitten and dying Tyreese (Chad Coleman) in Season 5 episode What Happened and What's Going On.

The likeliest scenario for another flashback or dream sequence could be through Daryl (Norman Reedus), whose close bond with Beth was cut short with her death, or through Maggie, who will return in the back half of Season 10 before Cohan rejoins The Walking Dead as a series regular in Season 11.

In 2018, Kinney a touring singer/songwriter admitted she no longer watched The Walking Dead, then in its ninth season.

You know, I dont, because I dont watch a lot of TV and I travel a lot. Im not, like, avoiding it, Kinney told The Stalking Dead Podcast. I just dont. I just dont. Im not specifically going, Im not gonna watch it! But I just, if Im home, and Im like, What do I want to watch today on TV? I dont find myself wanting to watch it, [laughs]. I just dont, its scary.

She continued, I do like it, I like the show. Ive loved watching it when I do watch it, I think its so great. Im proud of it. But I just dont watch [laughs].

It was satisfying knowing Beths death made such an impact on people, Kinney added of the ensuing online fervor. And the character you created resonated so much with people, and that they were gonna miss me. That was quite nice for my ego, I guess, not just like, Oh yeah, we dont really care, okay, they killed her off, bye, see ya, you know? It was quite nice for my fragile actor ego to have people say, We love you, we miss you, we wish you were still on it.
