Several shows had such fascinating, incredible trips as "dead walking". Based on the best-selling series of Robert Kirkman's comics of the same name, it was the cornerstone of AMC's programming for more than a decade, creating a whole spin-off universe. Also, for some time it was the cable's biggest show before it experienced a pretty serious drop. It was quite a trip.

During the 11 seasons of the show, several characters came and went. Most of the time, they went because they died. Not all were as happy as Rick Grims of Andrew Lincoln, who left The Walking Dead during the season 9 mercuryJust to go back to the spin-off series "Those who Live". For the most part, every actor who left the show left because their character died. Such was the case with Rossita, played by Christian Seratos. Type of.

Rossita entered the zombie world, created by Kirkman in Season 4 and was there until the bitter end. Well, almost to the bitter end. Rossita died on the show, serving as one of the last intestinal blows that viewers had to withstand before reaching the end of this 177 episodes trip. But how did Rossita die?

The Walking Dead final aired in 2022 and returned several celebrities. There were many stories to tie and, as everyone who watched the show would have expected, not everyone made him alive. Rossita was the biggest victim of the show after being part of 129 episodes after making his debut in the 4th "Prisoners" episode. Since then, it has been the main foundation.

Appropriately titled "Rest in Peace", the final follows several stories, including Daril and Carol who are in a hurry to the hospital. We have Maggie and Negan are taking weapons against Pamela, helping to use the "dead city". The most essential, Rossita, Eugene and Gabriel hunt for the lost baby, Coco. Luke (Dan Fogler) and the Ulesulus (Alex Sgbati) die pretty early in the episode, but producers saved the greater murder for later.

Rossita managed to save Coco in the episode. That's the good news. However, trying to escape a group of pedestrians, Rossita falls from the tube and right in the hands of the meat-covers below. She comes out of the horde, but not before biting on her neck. She does not keep it from the group and reveals the bite of everyone because they celebrate their victory in saving the Commonwealth. Before he faded, Rossita took the high road, saying the following to Gabriel:

"Everything is perfect. I just want to remember this moment."

"The series ended right after that, and it was terrible. Terrible! F ***, it was so terrible," Seratos said in an interview with Fun weekly Only after the final aired. "We were crying so hard. We were shaking. Things that we experience on that show together, and you do it right, it does.

Rossita's death proved to be one of the unforgettable in the show, partly because it helped bring all the work to land. Glen's death at The Walking Dead will always be remembered the mostFor better or worse, just because it was so brutal, despite being unexpected. But Rossita came with a very emotional resonance. The whole idea comes from Seratos himself, as surprising as it can sound.

"I've been to the show for so long and watching the show, one of the things I really loved was that it made me emotionally. It got on your heart," Seratos said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Speaking further, she explained why she felt that someone had to die, even if it had to be her character.

"It is imposed on your heart sides was something that really is about Inuking about the show. And I really wanted people to have that emotional experience in our finals, especially. I think the show that was about to lose your loved ones, you want to lose someone in the end.

To the point of Seratos, "The Walking Dead" was full of disturbing deaths during her running. Some worked well for viewers, despite the pain, while others may not. But it would have been a little cowardly to let all the biggest characters live in the last episode. Seratos did the bold work and suggested that the bullet bite.

"I was so lucky to outlive my face in the comic book and stay on the show for so long," Seratos added in the same interview. Indeed, Rossita's life in the show was much, much longer than that of her colleague in comics. Rossita's death was also far more calmer in the show, compared to what happened in the original material.

In the comic books, Rossita is killed outside the page in the hands of whispers, who were part of the 9th Walking Dead season and some of the best episodes of the show. Rossita lived through that bow in the show, but not in the comics. The whispers are a group of survivors wearing human leather suits as a pedestrian mix. They are an unusual pile, to be sure. Their ideological differences eventually brought them to war with the Alexandrians.

As part of this, whispers catch and kill several members of the communities, placing the cut heads of the victims of spikes as part of the border to mark their territory. At the end of "The Walking Dead" #144, Rick finds this border, with Rossita's head of one of those spikes. Moreover, she was pregnant at the time she was killed. Really brutal things.

Fortunately, viewers did not have to withstand that horror in the show. It was just one of the few cases of the show that was diverted from the source material, As when Abraham's Walking Dead was given to Dennis in the show. It's just the nature of the game when you adjust something from one medium to another. Changes will be made on the road. In the case of Rossita, what happened to her on the TV was far more favorable, even if she still wounded dead.
