Lauren Ridloff attends Women in Film event as a presenter
By Renee Hansen
Lauren Ridloff’s Walking Dead character Connie has finally made her reappearance in the series. Connie had been trapped in a cave in season 10 and had been assumed dead. In reality, Ridloff had been filming Eternals, where she makes film history by portraying the first deaf superhero. She made her Walking Dead return in an epic episode, “On the Inside,” where Connie and Virgil (Kevin Carroll) experienced a house of horrors.
Connie will again appear in the season 11 part 1 finale “For Blood” on October 10 on AMC. This episode will find Connie and the others at Alexandria battling a storm beating down an already weakened Alexandria.
It will take everyone working together to ensure this storm doesn’t cause even more damage to the walls and the morale of the community.
