Just... no.
The Walking Dead Fan Petition To Bring Back Beth Gains Steam | Comicbook.com

She was killed with a very clear headshot. Other beloved characters have died and not come back. Let it go.

It's just about possible that the bullet missed the vital parts, but...if she came back it'd have to be as a) a zed, or b) a bed- or wheelchair-bound character with catastrophic brain damage, who can do and say nothing and can't even wipe her own arse, with that presumably being the case ad infinitum. Not sure would either scenario would add, apart from a drag. You just don't take a round through the bonce and get straight back up singing and dancing and being just how you were.

In any case, I agree: these peeps should let it go.

With a head shot, she can't even come back as a walker. She's about as gone as it gets.

I get the feeling TWD is struggling for direction right now, and Beth was thrown under the bus as a way, among others, to drive a tent pole in the ground as part of setting up some new and better circus of plot, story, motivations and other whirling and twirling stuff that gets attention and stirs up some new ideas, maybe...

The odds would be very strongly against it, but from what Jenner said way back when, it might be possible for the crucial areas to survive one that went up and exited the top-front of the head.
Even then, she's not going to be chowing down on much...or seeing. Her eyeballs would probably have exited their sockets at a fair old lick, so she'd be staggering around with them on her cheeks (at best).
Pretty sure that's not the way these people want her back. :biggrin2:

I was just reading an Andrew Lincoln interview where he said he had intended to play the last scene (leaving the hospital) tough, hard, and cold, but had to look away at Lauren Conrad (Maggie)'s reaction. It made him cry. I'd love to playact for a living :)

Andrew, by all means be a wuss, but not in front of the Americans! :rolleyes:
Head up, shoulders back. Stiff upper lip, man! (;))
