Eleanor Matsuura – The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead will air the final eight episodes of the series beginning October 2 on AMC. Matsuura’s character Yumiko had a massive surprise in the last season when she was reunited with her bother Tomi (Ian Anthony Dale), whom she hadn’t seen for many years before the outbreak.
Yumiko had been an attorney in her previous life, and in the ways of the Commonwealth, they assign people to jobs similar to what they did before. She is a brilliant woman who seems to fit in well at the Commonwealth. But will she side with her friends once she learns about the underhanded dealings of the Miltons?
She is featured in the trailer for the final episodes and appears to be visiting someone in prison. Only time will tell where her story leads in the final chapter of the story.
