Christian Serratos Refused To Walk Off Set When The Walking Dead Wrapped – Looper

Following the conclusion of “The Walking Dead,” Christian Serratos sat down with Entertainment Weekly to chat about it. When asked about Rosita’s heart-wrenching death — the final scene they shot — and the process of filming it, she shared that it was an immensely emotional experience. “I was shaking and crying so hard that we couldn’t even walk outside because we knew what was waiting for us,” Serratos recalled, mentioning that even fellow cast members Josh McDermitt and Lauren Cohan struggled to leave the set behind on that fateful day.

Evidently, it wasn’t easy to film Rosita’s death scene, but it wasn’t much easier to watch. Her having to accept that she’ll soon succumb to her walker-inflicted wound and saying goodbye to her longtime friend Eugene Porter (McDermitt) and her daughter Socorro is tough to witness. Redditor u/DPGamez123 even made a thread about her demise, with numerous “TWD” fans chiming in to agree that it’s an incredible yet sad moment. u/PsychologicalCrab459 even pointed out that the characters’ emotions felt genuine — likely due to those of the actors behind them seeping through.

As the “Walking Dead” franchise expands in all directions, it stands to reason we’ve seen the last of Rosita Espinosa. In this era of entertainment, it’s best to never say never, but given all that went into her unforgettable final scene, it’s just fine if Christian Serratos (who pitched the aforementioned moment) never returns to the role again.
