Samantha Morton's character, Alpha, has lived according to the motto, "We are the end of the world," on AMC's apocalyptic zombie series, "The Walking Dead."

Currently, that motto may hit a little too close to home as people practice social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

But Morton is much more positive about the state of our world, despite her character's nihilism.

"I don't feel we're at the end of the world at all," Morton told Insider when asked about any parallel between her character's outlook on life and reality.

"My feelings are the world is constantly changing and we have to adapt and change with it," she continued. "If, as a society, we need to learn new habits and new behaviors to prosper whether it's to do with the environment or to do with love or respecting other cultures we just have to adapt and survive. I don't think it's the end of the world at all."

Morton's character was killed off "TWD" Sunday. In a nod to the comics, Negan infiltrated the Whisperers, gained their trust, and when the timing was right, took her out. Morton told Insider she knew exactly how she would be killed off since joining the series as the leader of the Whisperers on season nine.

Now, with Alpha out of the picture, it's looking less like the Whisperers will be able to bring their "end of the world" agenda to life.

"The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC. You can follow along with our "Walking Dead" coverage here.
