- TriviaThe scene where Maggie (Lauren Cohan) must perform a C-section on a still-living Lori in order to save her baby was so troublesome for actress Lauren Cohan that she nearly quit the show. It wasn't until a talk with co-star Steven Yeun ('Glenn') that she changed her mind and continued with the show.

Lori Grimes: [Lori with tears in her eyes] You gotta do what's right, baby. You promise me, you'll always do what's right. It's so easy to do the wrong thing in this world.
