Across its 11 seasons, The Walking Dead<\/em> delivered some of the most shocking and emotional deaths in television history \u2014 but few decisions remain as controversial as how the show handled Beth Greene. Looking back, it\u2019s hard not to feel that AMC\u2019s zombie epic missed a major opportunity by killing off Beth instead of Maggie.<\/p>\n Ever since its debut, The Walking Dead<\/em> has never hesitated to eliminate beloved characters. Carl\u2019s death left a permanent void in the series, while Glenn\u2019s brutal end divided the fandom and marked one of TV\u2019s most talked-about moments. Yet, when it comes to wasted potential, Beth\u2019s death stands out as one of the biggest missteps. Over several seasons, she transformed from a quiet, fragile teenager into a capable and resilient survivor \u2014 only to be killed off just as her story was getting interesting.<\/p>\n Maggie, on the other hand, while a cornerstone of the comics, eventually suffered from inconsistent writing and repetitive arcs. After Glenn\u2019s death, her character was initially compelling \u2014 rising as a leader and confronting Negan \u2014 but her story quickly lost direction. For multiple seasons, Maggie\u2019s narrative revolved around her grief and anger, with little true evolution. Despite Lauren Cohan\u2019s strong performance, the show never gave Maggie a meaningful new path beyond her resentment toward Negan.<\/p>\n Beth\u2019s character, meanwhile, was unique to the TV adaptation and free from comic-book constraints. She symbolized growth, hope, and humanity amid despair \u2014 elements that The Walking Dead<\/em> gradually lost in its later years. Her time in Grady Memorial Hospital showed remarkable development: she learned to survive under pressure and discovered her inner strength. If Beth had survived the Season 5 midseason finale, \u201cCoda,\u201d her story could\u2019ve taken a darker, more mature turn \u2014 perhaps even stepping into Maggie\u2019s shoes after her sister\u2019s hypothetical death.<\/p>\n Imagine a world where Maggie dies instead: Glenn, heartbroken and struggling to cope, spirals into grief, while Beth evolves into a battle-hardened survivor determined to honor her sister\u2019s legacy. Her dynamic with Daryl, already fan-favorite material, could\u2019ve grown into one of the show\u2019s most emotionally rich partnerships.<\/p>\n Beth\u2019s death, while shocking, ultimately felt cruel and purposeless \u2014 erasing all her character growth in a single moment. Killing Maggie instead would have carried equal emotional weight while opening far more creative possibilities.<\/p>\n In hindsight, The Walking Dead<\/em> would\u2019ve benefited immensely from keeping Beth alive. Her transformation from a scared farm girl into a strong, hopeful leader could have reignited the heart and humanity that once defined the series. Swapping her fate with Maggie\u2019s might not only have changed the course of the show \u2014 it might have made it truly unforgettable.<\/p>\n Winning hearts with his\u00a0dazzling performances on the US\u00a0<\/p>\n While mum, Terri, and sister, Bindi, have been helping Robert navigate it all behind the scenes, it seems his brother-in-law, Chandler Powell, may be getting slightly fed up with the frenzy.<\/p>\n Despite moving back to his native US with the rest of the Irwins to support Robert\u2019s dancing journey, Chandler is said to have grown apart from his once inseparable best mate in recent months, as Robert, 21, spends more time away from Australia Zoo to focus on other lucrative projects.<\/p>\n \u201cChandler would have preferred to stay back in Australia to look after the zoo instead of upping everything to be Robert\u2019s personal cheer squad,\u201d dishes our source.<\/p>\n Chandler\u2019s recent social media activity even has some questioning whether a feud is lurking in the background between Bindi\u2019s husband and brother.<\/p>\n \u201cFor a family known for being overly affectionate and constantly commenting and liking each other\u2019s posts, Robert has barely acknowledged any of Chandler\u2019s in recent weeks,\u201d a source tells New Idea.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe he\u2019s busy with dance practice, but it\u2019s definitely unusual for Robert, who is highly active online these days.\u201d<\/p>\n Social media sleuths also noticed that Chandler didn\u2019t share any pictures of Robert on Halloween, despite him dressing up as Prince Charming alongside Bindi and Chandler\u2019s daughter, Grace, who was Cinderella.<\/p>\n He did share a post wishing Robert well ahead of DWTS on November 5, but \u201ceyebrows have still been raised\u201d, the source continues.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, with all the buzz about Robert\u2019s ripped physique lately, Chandler, who turns 29 this week, has also started hitting the gym.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of a sudden, he is posting workout videos \u2013 something he has never done before \u2013 when the world is going wild over Robert\u2019s six-pack,\u201d the insider adds.<\/p>\n \u201cRobert is the biggest [and hottest] thing in Hollywood right now. He could very well become an even bigger star than his dad was in the next few years, so it\u2019s only natural that Chandler could be feeling jealous by all of the attention Robert is receiving at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Adding further fuel to the flames,\u00a0New Idea<\/em>\u00a0hears that\u00a0Robert may relocate to America for good\u00a0to chase his dreams, while Chandler hopes to take over Australia Zoo.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a move Chandler seemed to confirm on October 13, when\u00a0he shared an image of himself feeding crocs in the Crocoseum\u00a0with Robert watching in the background.<\/p>\n \u201cA picture speaks a thousand words, and this one speaks volumes,\u201d our source says.<\/p>\n They add that Chandler\u2019s desire to be the next Crocodile Hunter would be ruffling Robert\u2019s feathers as \u201cthe thought of someone taking the crown wouldn\u2019t sit well\u2026 even if it\u2019s his brother-in-law\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Across its 11 seasons, The Walking Dead delivered some of the most shocking and emotional deaths in television history \u2014 but few decisions remain as controversial as how the show handled Beth…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
