Comicbook.com bit shared from the good folks at Spoil'ED Rotten WD Fans.
Actor Christine Evangelista, who plays Sherry, talks about why Sherry has a soft spot for Daryl, and her comments make it clear Sherry's feelings are nostalgic rather than romantic.
"...According to Sherry actress Christine Evangelista, there's a reason why the character who ruthlessly left her husband to sleep with the maniac keeping them alive has a soft spot for the little Dixon brother.
“I think there’s also this thing in Daryl that reminds her of who Dwight used to be, before he turned, before he became a murderer in her eyes. Before they separated," Evangelista said. "It’s sad. I think she definitely feels guilt for what she did to [Daryl], even though he tried to help her and her family at the time, but I think she’s sort of looking at him now with this longing, like, ‘Oh, I don’t want what happened to Dwight to happen to you,’ if there’s anything that she could do. I think that’s sort of where she is.”
Evangelista doesn't see Sherry's choices as selfish, however. It's self-preservation in the best interest of those around her, if you ask the actress.
“I don’t think it’s a real attraction,” Evangelista said. “I think that she is in this kind of, I don’t want to call it a position of power with the ladies, but she’s almost this mother hen to everyone. She finds herself in that situation a lot, where she’s always been a caretaker, but I think what she’s doing right now is just this self-sacrificial thing. When she and Dwight came back to the Sanctuary … he was going to be murdered, and she agreed to become [Negan’s] wife in exchange for his life. I think she’s looking at this as just this very self-sacrificial thing: ‘This is who I have to be in order for us all to survive.’ It’s almost mechanical in a way. She’s always plotting a next move. She’s very strong, she’s very determined, but she’s always a step ahead in some way..."
