the walking dead roles all the actors are not safe, they tell you one thing and then switch it up and kill you off.
Andrea was supposed to become Ricks love interest according to Laurie Holden who play Andrea, then she was suddenly killed off they had a switch of plans for her:
"Well I had an 8 year deal, I was supposed to be there until the end. I was supposed to end up with Rick. I was supposed to save Woodbury on a horse, and I was buying a house in Atlanta. I got the call at 10 o’ clock the night before, while I was shooting, from the show runner who is no longer a part of The Walking Dead, saying that they couldn’t write the episode and that he was killing my character. So we all got the script everybody on the set was sobbing. I felt like I got shot. None of it was supposed to happen the way it did."
