Alycia also took part in an interview with Elizabeth and Frank for Access Hollywood. She talks about how her friends reacted when she told them she got the part, and it’s hilarious! Watch here!

Lastly, another interview with Alycia has surfaced, this one with New York Post. THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW AND IN THE INTERVIEW, SO BE CAUTIOUS. Alycia gets to talk about FTWD and The 100! Read a few quotes below, or check out the whole interview at New York Post.

On how the story should appeal to both fans of the original show and newbies:

“These are very regular people, members of a community with regular jobs. The show becomes much more physical as it goes on, but for now it focuses on the emotional roller coaster — it’s slow in the way a drama is.”

On her potential death (SPOILERS):

Alycia has revealed that she’ll have to learn to work with weapons in the second season, so we know she survives at least until season 2. “I try not to think about it, but if it happens, I hope it’s not from a scratch where you become infected and you just die — I want it to be very dramatic.”

On if she is prepared to handle an apocalypse:

“I handle things as they come pretty well, but I’m definitely not prepared,” Debnam-Carey says with a laugh. “If things got worse, I think Australia is one of the few places that would be safe, so I’d head straight back!”

On her The 100 character vs. her FTWD character:

“They’re both very driven, and very physical roles, but because Lexa calls a lot of the shots, she has a lot of clear-cut choices. Whereas Alicia discovers things as she goes along.”

Alycia also talked to The Wrap. Read below about Alycia’s transition from The 100 to FTWD, her character’s transition into the world of walkers, and more!

Alycia Debnam-Carey on ‘Dramatic Shift’ to ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ From ‘The 100′: I Have No Weapons, No Power!

You came to “Fear the Walking Dead” directly off of “The 100.” What was it like going from that to playing such a normal girl?
It was super weird, it was like “I have no power anymore! No weapons, no power!” But maybe eventually, Alica will be able to have her own kind of power. But yeah, it was a very dramatic shift. I’d never played a character like Lexa before, with such an iconic look and distinct wardrobe, in a different world. I love that sort of sci-fi, fantasy world, so that was a real treat to play. But this is very close to home, and this is all about family dynamics, character relationships, and I also love that. And this world, as normal as it is, is about to get very abnormal, so it’s also a little extreme.

When will we see her start to accept the reality of the situation?
In time, definitely over the season. It’s a slow burn. It’s very different from the original show, where you were thrust into this world immediately. In this, the infected look like regular people, you don’t know what they’re capable of. Everyone thinks it’s drugs, or a phase or something. She’s going to fall hard and fast. She starts off with quite a lot of hope. She’s going to get out of town, she’s got a boyfriend, she’s got a plan. And then very quickly, she’s left with nothing. So that was also very interesting. It becomes her figuring out this world, and it will also coincide with her recognizing her place, within herself, and knowing then, what she’s going to do about it.

In the early episodes Alicia hasn’t had too many zombie encounters yet, but have you gotten to do some stunts with them?
I’ve done some stunts, got some bad bruises too! I can’t say too much, but you’ll see. Everyone got their fair share to do, that’s for sure.
