Heath and Dante from The Walking Dead with blood in the background
Summary The likes of Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon have become some of the most popular TV characters in the last decade; however, while The Walking Dead has introduced some iconic characters, it has also totally wasted others. Having debuted in 2010, the zombie show has cycled through a massive cast of characters, with some still being active since their season 1 introduction, while others lasted just a single episode.
9 Tyreese Tyreese Had A Much Smaller Role Compared To His Comic Counterpart While Tyreese was an important and prominent character during his Walking Dead tenure, he failed to live up to his comic book equivalent. Chad Coleman did a great job of portraying the character as he showed Tyreese's soft and warm side alongside his rare bursts of aggression.
Despite his potential to be one of the show's best characters, Jesus failed to play an overly critical role until his exit. His shock death served as an impressive reveal for the Whisperers and the threat they posed, but this cemented Jesus' place as an underutilized character. Tom Payne even sympathized with disappointed Walking Dead fans over his time on the show, highlighting that even Jesus' actor understood more could have been done with the character.
He had a child with Rosita, was forced to watch his allies get murdered by the Whisperers, and ultimately helped expose Dante through his death, all of which proved to be interesting moments for the character. His own personal demons - including the guilt over Carl's death - also suggested he may become one of the TV show's most entertaining characters before he was killed.
While the character at least got a memorable send-off as he was devoured by walkers right in front of Glenn, the show definitely dropped the ball with the character. The Walking Dead had built the character up to be empathetic and relatable yet pulled the trigger in killing him off at seemingly the first opportunity.
