The Walking Dead’s Samantha Morton warns season 10b will be ‘scarier and more shocking’ ahead of Alpha return
THE Walking Dead is midway through its tenth season and actress Samantha Morton has warned that things will get even more gruesome.
Season 10b scheduled to begin next month.
Samantha plays the character of Alpha in The Walking Dead and is known as the The leader of the Whisperers, a mysterious group of survivors who wear the skins of walkers to hide their presence.
She joined the cast in series 9 and was last seen gaining the upper hand over the Alexandria and Hilltop survivors after leaving a well-laid a trap for Carol (played by Melissa McBride).
It appears as though Alpha may have vanquished her enemies for good, after directing a team into the path of a literal bunker full of the undead.
Will they get out alive? Based on what normally goes down on this show, it is unlikely.
Speaking with Red Carpet News, Samantha gave her thoughts on what we are likely to see for the remainder of the series.
We haven’t finished the season yet, so there’s lots more amazing things to come.’ ‘I was just constantly shocked reading the scripts thinking, “Really?! Oh my gosh”.
‘Just when you think it can’t get any more scarier, or any more “what?!” — it does.’
Carol, the longest living female character, has been trapped along with close ally Daryl (Norman Reedus), as well as Aaron (Ross Marquand), Jerry (Cooper Andrews), Magna (Nadia Hilker) and sisters Connie (Lauren Ridloff) and Kelly (Angel Theory).
They are stuck in what appears to be an unwinnable situation that was planned and executed by the radical Whisperers.
To try and blend in and survive, they have to pretend to be undead.
MORE ON THE WALKING DEAD
Alpha may well have landed herself in hot water after some of her most devout followers are starting to believe she is not ready to be the leader they need.
The character is under pressure and she is making trouble for herself that could come back to bite her in the near future.
This included the loyal Gamma (Thora Birch) discovering that Alpha’s daughter Lydia (Cassady McClincy), despite being pronounced dead is was actually alive and well.
Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who has infiltrated the group, is in a story-line that follows a very similar pattern with her in the comic books.
But with Samantha warning fans 'not to assume anything', avid fans of the show will have to sit tight and wait until February to see what goes down in season 10b.
