In recognition of Claudia Black's upcoming role in the new series "Containment" I decided to borrow her for a bit and put her into the other show about a deadly and mysterious illness set and filmed in the Georgia area. There are spoilers for the last season of "The Walking Dead" as well as the upcoming season 6 but nothing that you couldn't have deduced from seeing advertisements.
Claudia Black as Emma Garren
Before the epidemic took over the country Emma was living the affluent life of the typical politician's wife. PTA meetings, spaghetti Tuesdays, galas, and getting her kids to soccer practice on time were the worst of her worries. Once the outbreak started she and her family were evacuated by the military to a safe-zone but before they could make it their caravan was overrun but a walker horde. Emma had never even held a gun before but she learned quickly in an attempt to protect her family.
Only to end up losing her husband and two daughters.
The few survivors were then able to continue their trek to Alexandria. It's there that Emma truly came into her own. She trained extensively in weapons and is now a part of the group that hunts the walkers outside of Alexandria's walls.
With the arrival of Rick and his group it seems the safety Alexandria promised is at risk. When the inevitable fighting begins which side will Emma choose?
