Viewers are allowed to be a little sad as well.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How do you feel about how Carol’s story wrapped up here after 11 seasons?
There’s also an aspect about it that feels undone.

It’s funny that I’m reminded of that here, and I love it!
In a goofy way, that’s kind of how I feel about the end.
Would this have been easier or more comfortable to fathom had no one survived the end of the show?

I much prefer being left to lean sideways, and wondering where they went.
It was an absolute mixed bag of Carol and Melissa.
Once I sat on that bench, once Norman sat next to me, that was it for me…
I knew I couldn’t get out of my own way.
To battle it would’ve been a mistake.
Come what may, it had to be honest.
It was Carol with Daryl, and it was me with Norman, and I will miss them both.
It’s a beautiful scene about friendship and trust.
Each take was a little different.
These are the last words we hear them say to each other.
It’s a good way to remember them, taking care of one another.
