"...Ultimately, Mason’s character is observant, cautious and calculated. Which leads me to believe she’ll grow into a much more prominent role as Season 2 progresses. Could Fear’s unlikely member be the next Carol? Oh man, we hope so! And on the heels of The Walking Dead companion series already being renewed for a season three, I was elated to chat with the talented (and hilarious) actress about her growth on the hit AMC series. Not to mention, Mason’s weird cousin twice removed, adopting co-star Alycia Debnam-Carey’s fans from The 100, epic dance parties on the set of the show, and most importantly: Nutella. ..
...So true! Being a fan of The Walking Dead, if you could grab and plop one of those characters into your universe to help you guys out… who would you choose?
[Laughs] I’ve always sort of been stuck between Daryl and Carol. One, because I think Ofelia sort of, hopefully, is going to go the Carol route, where when we meet them they’re both quite meek and like a little bit of a mouse, and then we all know Carol becomes a lioness. I mean, she’s incredible. And then Daryl, just because he’s so resourceful. That guy can’t be killed [laughs]. He always swings back, so I think it would be pretty amazing to have one of the two of them.
...Now I’m hungry [laughs]. I guess to wrap up, what can we expect from Ofelia’s arc this season? Will we get to see her kicking some zombie ass?
Yes. I think it’s inevitable that she’ll definitely get to kick some ass because the zombie numbers are growing. We are going to try and keep finding safe harbor, so we’re going to get off the boat. And sadly, our crew will see a lot of zombies coming at us. I think as you continue to see the relationship grow and progress negatively– I can’t think of the word right now because I’m heading to Coachella and that’s all I can think about right now, and also you said Nutella so I’m useless. But, as her relationship with her father starts degrading you’ll see that she’s going to start going off to spread her wings and see what she’s capable of. I think we’ll see a lot of growth with her, again, once you have the burden of wanting to be the perfect daughter off your shoulders, it sort of frees you to make decisions that you would have made independently of your parents. I think that’s sort of where she’s at, and absolutely, she’s a smart girl, she’s choosing to observe right now initially, just to see who she can trust
