Fear the Walking Dead star 'heartbroken' about finale shocker | Entertainment Weekly 

I, too, am heartbroken. More for Kim than Madison, but they both deserved so much better than this. *hugs Kim forever*

However...
I’m so proud to be strong female empowered lead of a genre show. They’re usually led by male leads, and it was just such an honor to have this special experience of being that lead female calling the shots. And also, I’m not in my 20s or not in my 30s, mind you. She was a mother too — a mother who was ferocious, and I just thought it was just such an honor to get to play her.

The whole non-traditional-female-lead thing is something that FTWD fans have been forcefully reminding some of the producers about since It Happened... so maybe this will be good for Carol, at least? Since FTWD will have a male lead, maybe it's time for TWD to have a female.
