Beth Greene is a fictional character from the American horror drama television series The Walking Dead, created by season two showrunner Glen Mazzara, and was portrayed by Emily Kinney.

During the initial outbreak and beyond, Beth is a sheltered girl, but is eventually forced into hard laboring survival after the downfall of the prison, a place that had been a safe haven.

Her final arc revolves around being held captive under the service of Officer Dawn Lerner in Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, and the subsequent efforts of Rick's group to find and rescue her become the primary driving force behind the first half of the fifth season.

Emily Kinney received a nomination from the Saturn Awards for "Best Supporting Actress on Television" in 2015 for her performance during the show's fifth season, losing to fellow costar Melissa McBride.

She sings to help boost morale and spreads optimism among her survivors upon finding a place to live at the prison in the third-season premiere "Seed".

When Hershel's leg is amputated after a walker bite in the episode "Sick", Beth chides Maggie for being pessimistic about his chances of survival.

Beth devotes much of her time to assisting Hershel throughout his recovery, and also becomes a caretaker for Judith after Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies)'s death in the episode "Killer Within".

She opens up to fellow survivor Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) about this loss, and proclaims she doesn't cry anymore.

In the episode "Isolation", Beth continues to attempt to repress her sadness to Maggie when the deadly virus at the prison spreads, infecting Glenn (Steven Yeun) and endangering Hershel, who goes to the sick ward to help.

As Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) is wheeled into the hospital injured from a car accident in an attempt to rescue her along with Daryl, Beth devises another plan to retrieve medicine to save her life in the episode "Crossed".

In the mid-season finale "Coda", a hostage exchange occurs when Rick's group, who have captured two officers, demand Beth and Carol back.

In the episode "What Happened and What's Going On," Beth is one of the few characters to appear in Tyreese's hallucinations, caused from a loss of blood from a walker bite.

Beth is briefly remembered by Rick in several flashbacks when confronted with the idea that his friends could be killed by Negan's men, while also mourning the losses of Abraham Ford and Glenn Rhee.

Although Beth does not make a physical appearance in season 10, a painting of the character can be seen in the Barrington House as part of a shrine built by Maggie in the episode "Morning Star."

In the episodes "A New Deal" and "Outpost 22," Beth is seen in the form of flashbacks while Judith recalls prominent stories from her friend's pasts.

For merchandise, several trading cards depicting the character have been released over the years, manufactured by Topps, Crytpozoic, and Rittenhouse Archives.

"[5] A vinyl Mystery Mini figure by Funko depicting a hospitalized and scarred Beth was released in 2016, with a rarity ratio of 1/36.

"[8] Gary Roszko of The Huffington Post affirmed that Beth's interactions with Lori were clichéd, comparing it to "an after school anti-suicide special".

[12][13][14] Writing for IGN, Roth Cornet commended the "Still" episode, stating that "Daryl and Beth revealed themselves to be more perfect a fit than any of the other combinations" and that "[t]hey brought out a raw honesty in one another that yielded what were some of the most grounded and engaging character moments of the season.

Club stated that the episode ends in "a shocking finale which reminds us that, whatever else it's learned, the show still hasn't given up on its most beloved trick: killing people because it can.
