The Walking Dead continues season 4 this Sunday with an episode titled "The Grove." As the season gets closer to the end, its female stars continue to watch their careers grow.

Beth, played by Emily Kinney, is slowly winning over fans with her growing relationship with Daryl, played by Norman Reedus. Some are even wondering if Beth and Daryl will ever hook up.

"Well, I think it says something about these characters feeling very lonely, and it makes me happy that the audience is sort of picking up on that, that these two people are people that need someone," Kinney told MTV. "It makes sense to me that people would hope that each of them would find someone... but yeah, I don't know what's going to happen. I do feel like now, after [Sunday's] episode, that Beth and Daryl know each other on a much deeper level, in an intimate way. I don't think they feel alone the way they did before."

Kinney isn't the only likable actress on The Walking Dead these days. Lauren Cohan, who was virtually unknown in Hollywood before landing the role of Maggie Greene, is now a star appearing in various magazines and talk shows.

"I had a (CW) pilot (in 2011) that wasn't picked up," Cohan told Chicago Tribune. "It's disappointing when that happens, but I'm very grateful. I think it's the best thing that ever happened to me. Walking Dead is hardly a consolation prize."

Despite her popularity, no character is safe on The Walking Dead.

"I'm in a place where I feel okay with whatever happens, but don't let me be misunderstood; I'm happy, and don't want to leave," she said.

Meanwhile, the hit show added a new Latina this star this season, Christian Serratos as Rosita Espinosa, who the actress agrees is "male dependent."

"What I'm trying to bring to her is her sassiness, her confidence and her desire to survive and do everything she can and learn everything she can from Abraham Ford [to survive] and to keep Eugene alive because that's essentially her mission right now," she told Latina. "...I've tried to keep her as close to the comics as I can because that's my only point of reference ... So that's what I'm trying to hold onto as much as I can to make the fans happy.

Serratos first gained fame as Angela in the Twilight series.

"I definitely have settled into the role of Rosita very well," Serratos continued. "I like playing somebody very real and gritty. I like having more juice. And because she's unlike any character I've ever played, it makes it that much more fascinating for me to go on set."

The next episode of The Walking Dead airs Sunday at 9/8c. Viewers can watch the latest episodes on AMC.com using their cable provider login.
