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

Though this is definitely not a new story, it was something that was truly uplifting.

A rider is a set of requests or demands that a performer makes as criteria for their performance. Often times celebrities ask for a particular amount of food, drinks, or transportation.

When Brian Lord received Williams’ rider, he was surprised to see what it contained. The rider required that he had for every event or film that he did, the company hiring him also had to hire a certain number of homeless people and given them to work.

This request was in addition to the many other charities he supported outside of his film career. This shows what a great guy Robin Williams was, he made sure that he used his popularity and celebrity fame in a compassionate way. I can only imagine how many lives were touched and changed by giving some of the homeless people a job.

The Walking Dead companion series, ‘Walking Dead: Cobalt’ is now filming the pilot in Los Angeles and may move to Georgia film the series.

Rumors are circulating that ‘The Walking Dead” companion series, The Walking Dead: Cobalt will film in Los Angeles, California. According to reports, a neighborhood is being scouted for the project.

“Neighborhood is being scouted for twd spinoff,” wrote Redditor KiddMicks Sunday, Dec. 14.

When another Reddit user asked where exactly is that neighborhood, KiddMicks replied: “Los Angeles,” before adding that the companion series was planning to shoot at the said location for three days.

Last month, a casting call revealed that the series would film somewhere in Pennsylvania. The casting call stated that AMC was looking for actors and actresses aged 13 to 65 possibly with experience working in film or TV. The ads, which were placed on several Craigslist sites, including Philadelphia, Allentown and South Jersey, also stated that AMC would pay extras $50 for eight hours of work, with a chance of overtime pay.

The ads, were later removed after a few days, after questions regarding the authenticity of the casting call began to arise. Many websites reported that the ads were authentic, but days later they claimed the casting call was just a hoax.

“The Walking Dead Enthusiasts” claim the casting call is connected to a talent agency based in Pennsylvania that is allegedly a scam.

Comicbook.com is reporting that the companion series could just film the pilot in California, and then move the series less costly for the full series such as Atlanta, Georgia where the original Walking Dead series films.

Earlier this month, we reported that Cliff Curtis (“Gang Related”) will play the male lead in the TV pilot to be directed by Oscar Winner Adam Davidson from a script written by comic book writer Robert Kirkman and show runner Dave Erickson.

While there are now official details yet about Curtis’ role, it is speculated that Curtis will play Sean Cabrera, a divorced teacher described as a “goodman trying to do right by everyone in his life.”

Frank Dillane (“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”) and Alycia Debnam Carey (“Into The Storm” were also cast as brother and sister in the pilot.

Based on the casting call Frank Dillane and Alycia Carey will play Nick and Ashley Tompkins, respectively, the children of “thirtysomething” single mom named Nancy.

Nick is Nancy’s “screwed up teenage son” who is “too old to stay home” and “too scared to flee.” Deadline described him as somebody who has battled a drug problem.

Ashley, on the other hand, is “Nancy’s mostly level-headed teenage daughter. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her older brother’s failures.” She reportedly loves her mother but it’s already time for her “to get out of Dodge.”

While once again last in its time slot and the lowest rated drama of the night, the freshman DC Comics-based demon hunting detective was up 25% among adults 18-49 from last week’s low. That’s the best Constantine has done since November 21. Though the show has had a roller coaster ride since its October 24, we won’t know if last night uptick has much traction overall – or at least not for a while. Last night’s “Saints Of Last Resorts” episode was the last Constantine broadcast of 2014. The series with a still uncertain future is set to return early next year to see the remaining 5-episodes of its 13-episode freshman cycle run. [via]

Maybe this new increase in ratings will save the Atlanta filmed TV series.
