ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So how did you find out about Tara’s demise?
ALANNA MASTERSON: I got a phone call from [showrunner Angela Kang] about two weeks before I shot the episode.What was your reaction when you found out?
I was caught off guard for sure, but also excited for what the future holds. Tara has been extremely fun to bring to life.It’s never shown on screen, but how do you think Tara got caught and kidnapped, because she was a very capable fighter?
She was probably taking a power nap.Tara really emerged as a leader after the time jump, and as a much more serious character as well. What was it like getting to play her at this very different stage in her evolution?
It was really fun to explore that side of Tara. I wish we had gotten to explore that more, but I’m excited to see where the story goes from here.What was your last day on set like? What kind of stories can you share about your final day knowing this was the end?
The last day on set was really nice. It was freezing cold and we were all huddled around talking and laughing. The crew is my family, and I’m going to miss them terribly. But we got to get a few last-minute jokes in before I said goodbye.Do you have a favorite scene or episode that you did in your time playing Tara?
My favorite scenes are still with Glenn. [Steven Yeun and I] had such a good time filming together. We just shot a short film called Naysayer, so it was exciting to work together again.What will you miss most about playing this character and working on this show?
I’ll miss the cast and crew the most. They’ve become my home away from home, and I will forever cherish the bonds we formed. This show is impossible to make, and day after day we did it. I did it for 6 years, and I will miss the heat, the hours, and the challenges.
