By Renee Hansen
Actress Alexandra Breckenridge is well known for her role as Melinda “Mel” Monroe in Virgin River, a series in its fifth season on Netflix. In seasons 5 and 6 of The Walking Dead, Breckenridge would play a character named Jessie Anderson, a resident of Alexandria.
Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) group was invited to join the community of Alexandria by recruiter Aaron (Ross Marquand). The group was introduced to many new people, including Jessie and her family. Jessie was a loving mother to Sam (Major Dodson) and Ron (Austin Abrams), who was married to Porch Dick Pete (Corey Brill).
Jessie did her best to raise her boys in a loving family, shielding them from the harsh realities of the world outside of the walls of Alexandria. But sadly, all three of them had to endure abuse from Pete, which they hid from the community’s other residents.
One night, while in a rage, Pete accidentally kills Reg Monroe (Steve Coulter), and Rick, under orders from Deanna (Tova Feldshuh), shoots him. After this, Rick and Jessie become close. In the season six midseason finale, “No Way Out,” Jessie and her boys are all killed. Jessie and Sam are torn apart by a horde of walkers, and Ron is run through with Michonne’s (Danai Gurira) katana after he threatened to shoot Rick, then a stray bullet hits Carl’s (Chandler Riggs) eye out. Ron is then also devoured by the walkers.
