When thinking about some of the greatest adaptation changes in television history, The Walking Dead’s Carol Peletier is one of the first to come to mind. Her tenure in the comics was incredibly short-lived compared to her active participation in the television universe, thanks to the writers’ seeing her potential for greatness. When adapting her character though, her age is one of the most notable differences.Portrayed by Melissa McBride on the AMC series (who was also one of the many TWD cast members in The Mist), Carol had one of the most complex arcs as an underdog. In Season 1, she was introduced as a shy and timid homemaker who was abused by her husband, Ed, and focused all her attention on her 12-year-old daughter Sophia. The death of her husband and daughter left a profound effect on her life and made her one of the few TWD characters who benefited from the apocalypse, whereas others suffered the consequences of society collapsing. If her age had remained the same from the comics, her moving story might’ve been told very differently.AMC’s Carol never specifies her age because of how unimportant it is, so viewers have to deduce that she’s the same age as her actor. During Season 1, McBride was in her early to mid-40s. This means that Carol was likely in her early to mid-50s by the final season since over a decade has passed in the entirety of the show.RELATED: The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Clip Introduces Clémence Poésy’s Nun Isabelle
