i've had the sad side. Since it started I've lost my family, mum, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles. My partner died the morning series 10 started. Seriously the show helped me get through so much. The escapism plus the fact that they were people losing loved ones helped in a strange way. It really has. It's been epic and the fact that there is Daryl's story, and Rick and Michonne to look forward to really helps I'm a die hard fan alright watched since day one and have defended it always and always will. I knew it was something special the first time I saw the calibre of Andy's acting.

I am a HUGE fan of the series! That's a major understatement. Last weekend I went to visit my daughter in Georgia and although she only watched the first season, she indulged me and joined me on a tour of the film locations in Senoia. What a beautiful town! Dream come true for this fan!! The walls of Alexandria were already down unfortunately. I sooo wanted a pic of me at the gate or touching a wall. Overall it was an incredible tour, learned so much about what goes into filmmaking and our tour guide Jan was AMAZING and so much fun! Definitely stop in at Abraham's Army for photo opps with props!!
