Earlier last week we reported about a petition directed at AMC and showrunner Scott Gimple which at the time had 30,000 signatures. The petition now has just over 50,000!
But fans of Beth haven’t stopped at signing petitions, fans are currently sending spoons to The Walking Dead producers. Why you might ask? Well it turns out to be a tribute to Beth.
In season 4, episode 12, Beth found a Washington D.C. souvenir spoon when her and Daryl came across a country club. Many fans took this spoon to mean that she was supposed to join up with her sister, Maggie, who were on their way to Washington D.C., via Terminus. Obviously, Beth didn’t reach Washington D.C.

Advocates for Beth have been flooding The Walking Dead producers with spoons in order to show their frustration. Organizers of the spoon movement have asked that participants send a box of plastic spoons, each with their favorite Beth quote, moment or “simply her name” written on them to show the producers how they feel. Check out the poster below for more details:

The spoons are already being sent in thick and fast, take a look at a few that were posted on the campaign Facebook page ‘Beth Greene Deserved Better.
Clearly a lot of effort has gone into these from several passionate Walking Dead fans. Filming for Season 5 of The Walking Dead so there seems very little chance we’ll see Beth in the second half of Season 5. But, with all of these protests against her death, who knows might happen in the future.
The Walking Dead returns to AMC on February 8th, 2015
