<P> Rebecca Hawkes of The Daily Telegraph praised the character in her review for "Forget," saying, "Carol is proving to be one of the most complex, interesting female characters on TV right now ." Tim Surette for TV.com reviewing "Forget" jokingly stated: "Carol, you continue to amaze me and I am really close to asking you to prom ." </P> <P> For the sixth season, Melissa McBride continued to receive praise . In particular, her work in "JSS", "Not Tomorrow Yet" and "The Same Boat" were noted as standouts . Zack Handlen for The A.V. Club declared Carol "the best character" in his review for "Not Tomorrow Yet ." He called her "someone special," and said while Rick had a transformation from "idealistic lawman to ruthless killer," the transition was "dictated more by his position as nominal protagonist--he swung back and forth simply because the writers needed to give him something to do ." On the other hand, he noted Carol's transition as unintentional and unplanned . He elaborated further saying, "She's suffered, she's endured, she's lost people, and her gradual transformation seems more like a happy accident than an intentional philosophy . It's one of the few reasons I can think of to rewatch the series; even with the mess of the second season, even with the stalling and the failure of the Governor to provide a convincing threat, even with the writers' struggle to create engaging longform narrative in a serialized context that really only ever provided a handful of convincing individual moments, Carol more or less makes sense ." Overall, he adulated it as a testament to Melissa McBride and her work on the show . </P> <P> In 2012, McBride and her fellow cast members won the Satellite Award for Best Cast--Television Series for the third season . For her performance in season four, McBride won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television, and earned a nomination for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series . She was also nominated for Best TV Hero by IGN . </P> <P> In 2015, for her performance in the fifth season of the series, McBride won another Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television, becoming the first actress to win the award multiple times and back - to - back years . She received her third nomination in 2016, becoming the first actress in the show to be nominated more than twice . She was also nominated for a Fangoria Chainsaw Award for Best Leading Actress in a Television Series . In 2017, for her performance in the seventh season, McBride received her fourth consecutive nomination for the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television, the most nominations of any actress on the show . </P>
