Deadline has broken the news that Rosita Espinosa will be played by Christian Serratos in AMC’s The Walking Dead! Christian is most well-known for playing Angela Weber in Twilight (one of Bella’s best non-sparkly friends) and Raven in The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
Rosita’s first appearance is in Issue 53 of THE WALKING DEAD (part of Volume 9: Here We Remain). She arrives not long after the events at The Prison, along with Abraham and Eugene.
In the early days if the apocalypse Rosita struggles to survive, trading on her looks for protection. Once Abraham shows up, however, she finds a kind, strong companion and travels with him and Eugene.
We know that events in the show don’t necessarily follow the comic, so do you think Abraham and Eugene will be arriving with Rosita or will we get a Tyreese situation?
What do you think of Christian’s casting? Agree? Disagree?

The real question: Who is playing Abraham? Rosita is, like, an inconsequential background character. Even Eugene has much more impact on the story than Rosita.
I know!! It’s gonna suck if we only get Rosita’s casting. Please announce Abe and Eugene’s actors within the next couple days!!!
Word. I wonder if the TV Eugene will have a mullet. The mullet is CRUCIAL to the Euge. To mullet, no Eugene. As simple as that.
Eugene also needs to be able to bite a mean crotch when/if Dwight makes an appearance.
My thoughts exactly… and my fear. I sure hope they are not going to try to make Rosita some major character. I don’t see the logic at this point in the story of a major eye candy addition but logic ducked out at Andrea’s death, so…
Seems like a pretty good casting job and Abraham and Eugene better show up in the TV series after their big role in the comic
Wonder how long until we see them in the TV series?
Awesome
My son is happy as can be about this. He had a crush on Suzie Crabgrass on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, and now he’s recrushing on her as rosita. Lol
I am suspecting that she is the voice on the radio, “Those who arrive, survive.” While I do not know anything about the actress in question (I am morally apposed to sparkly vampires, love stories involving the undead, and all things Twilight) but she in no way strikes me as a zombie killer, and I hope we will not end up with glittery walkers and the phrase “OMG!” 4 or 5 times an episode. I suppose that is harsh, but Rosita in the comic has been a non-character love-interest with no depth.
Awesome casting, I need to know who is playing Abraham!!!
Personally, I am looking forward to more strong characters being introduced like Michonne.
please include Abraham he is quite the badass, no abraham, no rosita its as simple as that, freaking eyecandy if you ask me, twilight is teenage garbage anyways what is this a kids show? also theyre casting some kid from phineas and pherb what is this a kids show?
How does Rosita’s legs look so fantastic in this mess they are in.?
did anyone notice christian serratos portrayed Suzie Crabgrass on Nickelodeons, Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide
