New Character Wynn Everett on The Walking Dead Season April

The Walking Dead episode “The Rotton Core,” had a major focus on the events at the new community Riverbend but also saw Daryl and Rosita on a mission for Sebastian Milton. This mission introduced a new character named April.

The mission Daryl and Rosita were sent on was to obtain money from a house of a long-dead friend of Sebastian’s. The friend’s father was a “prepper” and had a panic room filled with many things, including cash. Something Sebastian is in dire need of since his mother cut off his line of credit. And despite being well-skilled against rotters, so he claims he needs someone truly skilled at killing them without using guns.

The Walking Dead season 11, episode 14

When Daryl and Rosita make it through the horde of walkers and into the house, they discover someone is locked inside the panic room. This woman, April, was with another group Sebastian sent in to retrieve the money, and she was the only survivor. When the power shut down, she was stuck inside the room.

Daryl and Rosita get inside the room, and all three are eventually saved by Mercer and Carol. But, when they attempt the leave the house, poor April is killed by the walkers.

Who plays April on The Walking Dead?

Actress Wynn Everett portrayed April in this episode. We don’t learn much about her other than she had two children and was part of a group of 12 who Sebastian sent to retrieve the money from the panic room.

Everett is known for her roles in Sweet Magnolias, Ordinary Joe, Doom Patrol, Palmer, Teenage Bounty Hunters, Avengers Assemble, This Is Us, Agent Carter, The Newsroom Mind Games, Grey’s Anatomy, and many more.

Wealthy dipshits really do think they can just buy their way out of everything, don’t they? We already hated Sebastian, the little arrogant prick of a governor’s son, when he was first introduced getting Eugene thrown in jail and then making Daryl’s life difficult. (He’s the kind of guy you would say was too cartoonish to be believable, if we didn’t all sadly know real-world versions of him.) But now that we’ve learned he’s gotten literally dozens of innocent people killed for his selfish, short-sighted personal needs, it’s not hard to imagine a future where Daryl, Rosita, and Mercer deliver what’s coming to him.

Not only that, but he serves as a handy symbol of everything that’s wrong with the Commonwealth. Despite the high-minded rhetoric (which Pamela Milton, for all her failings, seems to truly believe, albeit in the manner of self-justifying oligarchs everywhere), the society has brought many of the worst aspects of the old world back into its way of life, and every single member of our group is slowly having to reckon with that fact. It doesn’t make Maggie’s choice to forfeit desperately needed supplies right, necessarily, but it sure vindicates her suspicions.

In many ways, the two stories that drive “The Rotten Core” are flip sides of the same corrupt coin. Each one demonstrates the failure of the Commonwealth to provide a better world. In the case of Carlson, the sadistic ex-CIA assassin murdering his way through an apartment building, it’s the “kill first, sort it out later” mentality that our protagonists have continually struggled against—sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much. But at least they try to respect a code of fair treatment, and absolutely condemn the notion of arbitrary cruelty. Lance Hornsby doesn’t give any such fucks.

Daryl and Rosita (and low-key threatening Judith and RJ, to boot), it’s even more cut-and-undead-dried: People with money and influence getting to do whatever they want and treating those beneath them like indentured servants is everything our people hate. It’s why the Saviors, despite some uncomfortable moral equivalencies at times, were ultimately less defensible than Alexandria. Sure, there’s a case to be made for just about any group of desperate people doing what they have to for survival—and the show has made it, many times—but the example of Sebastian in the Commonwealth has nothing to do with desperation. It’s greed, and venality, and a cocksure assumption that those with money and power are in the right, despite demonstrating time and again they are anything but.

Negan and Hershel confrontation The Walking Dead New Season 2022

The shadow of Glenn Rhee loomed large when his son faced off against the the dude who bashed his dad's brains in with a baseball bat.  The Walking Dead featured a lot of action as a group of former Alexandrians and Hilltoppers reunited to take out a Commonwealth commando unit. But the biggest moments of the episode were actually some of the quietest.

Not only was it revealed that Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) was now married to a woman from the building under siege named Annie (Medina Senghore), but also that he's going to be a father! (That is, if Annie can manage to stay alive long enough to deliver said baby. On this show, you never know.) But that was not the only drama going down.

At one point, Negan noticed that young Hershel (Kien Michael Spiller), who had stowed away in Maggie's truck, had been captured by soldiers, leading to the twisted full-circle moment of the former Savior saving the child of the man he brutally murdered. Hershel then did the post-apocalyptic math and figured out that Negan was the man who killed Glenn, leading the tyke to pull a gun on the guy who had just saved him. (Like I said, twisted.)

Negan talked Hershel down then, but later approached the lad acknowledging they had "unfinished business" and advising him to put it aside for now while he grew up, and then to find him as an adult so they could "settle it."

But what exactly does settling it mean? What does Negan make now of his actions of the past when he killed Glenn? And how did this dude go and get married, anyway? We got the whole zombie meet-cute story from showrunner Angela Kang, who also weighed in on a bloody episode for Mercer and that Leah cliffhanger.

ANGELA KANG: We talked a lot about, what would Negan do when he walks off? Because that felt like the right move for Negan at that point. He clearly sees that he's not wanted there by Maggie [Lauren Cohan], he doesn't want to sleep with one eye open, so off he goes. Ultimately, we really think that Negan, from the books, but also in the way that we've established him on the show, he is not actually a guy who's a loner. He's a joiner. He says so, he wants to be in a group, he wants to be social, he is a total extrovert, and I think being alone is death for him. So I think he probably pretty quickly hooks up with this group, I think his goal was to keep his head down, but then he got enamored with this really strong, beautiful, awesome, badass woman.

We know that he admires people like that, and so I think that this is a guy who likes to be in love. He's a guy who cheated a lot on his wife, he's a guy who coerced many women into marrying him when he was at the Sanctuary, he hooked up with Alpha, so it felt like that is part of his character. But in this case, he finds something true about this person and this relationship, and that is part of what is changing him even now.

When Negan sees Hershel has been captured and he goes to save him: Is this purely altruistic? Is he trying to make amends? Is this a strategic chip with Maggie?

When it comes to kids, that is one of the areas where Negan actually can be just purely altruistic and heroic. That's also just something that is an established part of his character, he does admire children. I think he's a guy who, it doesn't bother him being in conflict with his peers, because he's a guy who's got to survive, and if he's got to push some people aside and knock some people down with the bat to keep surviving, he will. But I think when he looks at the generation below, as somebody who used to be a teacher, he really sees nothing but promise in children.

He feels like there is a goodness and a purity to them that is lost by the time that they're often adults. But I think as long as they're kids, all he sees is somebody that needs to be protected. I think that is one of his redlines that he respects, is like, "I really, really tried not to put children into positions where they're hurt." So I think in this case, it is just pure altruism. I think any child that was in trouble, he would run to try to get them. Of course, he knows that there's a whole complicated history, but if anything, I think his fear is after the fact, if Maggie is going to look at this as something that's a move, but I think in the moment he doesn't think about it too hard, he's going to go and help.
