The actress who plays Pamela's new assistant has actually been part of the Walking Dead family for a long time. She was Melissa McBride's stand-in! On Katie Causey's first day as "Kathleen," Melissa came to set and acted as her stand-in. Then during filming, Melissa watched Katie's scene on the monitor and recorded it on her phone.
The bloody scene in Hornsby's prison cell was not only graphic to watch, but also very sticky and difficult for the crew to navigate through. Throughout the shoot, the assistant directors had to remind everyone on set not to step into the blood pools, as they might accidentally leave footprints behind.
Director Aisha Tyler is a huge fan of The Walking Dead, which is why Executive Producer Denise Huth was happy to have her on set. She explained, "I love actors who direct because they truly understand the actors' point of view."
