Lori is a character in The Walking Dead that many fans came to hate very quickly when she was first introduced and sometimes it was understandable with some of the things she did in the early seasons.

Lori and Andrea always did things they didn't need to do that compromised the group. Lori didn't need to try to send Daryl after Rick and Glenn. And Lori didn't need to die. She had no reason to try to give birth in the prison during a breach. Andrea was told not to fire the rifle and she hits Daryl. Andrea could have took out the Governor several times but instead she tried to act conflicted

reasons i hate lori:
1) she was a terrible wife before the outbreak and even hinted that she would purposely push Ricks buttons just to try and prove a point (point being that he never raises his voice at her)
2) she hooked up with his best friend right after the outbreak and the show even hints her getting morning sickness in the same episode Rick returns, if not the one before that
3) she told shane to stay away from her, yet made every effort to talk to him after he listened, causing him to be physically and mentally unable to get over her
4) when rick came back, she told the group that he’d be taking daryl to find merle, only to get upset about him doing what she told him to right afterwards
5) again lori getting mad at rick for doing something she told him to: she tells rick that shane is dangerous and wants to steal his family, and then gets mad when the dangerous shane tries to kill him, forcing him to defend himself
6) just the way she treated rick like he was a rabid animal after he killed shane even though she’s the one who caused it and pretty much told him to
7) she was a terrible mother and would blame others for things that happened to carl whether it was under her supervision or was something they couldn’t stop/control
8) just because rick came back doesn’t mean she should’ve cut the tie between shane and carl. it’s confusing on a kid and her own fault they developed such a close relationship in the first place
9) when rick came back she didn’t have to cheat on him.. she just had to turn them against each other and wait out and stay with whoever wins (which is what she did)
10) she had like zero reaction to finding out her husband was shot and in the hospital, and when rick finally returned she tried stopping carl from running to hug his father
11) how much power and authority she decided to have when knowing she had a tight grip on the leader of the group.. both of them
12) who tf looks at a huge map that covers their entire window while driving 😐

I’d like her more if she didn’t cause plot points and issues for the group out of her stupidity. The fact that she took a car and went off on her own while pregnant and flips the car on an empty road sums her up perfectly.

Ummm Rick told Shane he knew something happened between him & Lori. That when he figured it out (& he figured it out pretty quickly) that he wanted to break Shane’s jaw, let him choke on his own teeth. But basically he let it ride until Shane came unglued and came for him. So they weren’t fooling Rick because he already knew. He loved and was willing to forgive them both and kept it to himself.

I still don't really understand why Lori got pissed off at Rick, because Carl shot zombie Shane. lol I really wish they had given Rick more dialogue in that scene and have him defend himself against her anger. lol

All Rick had to say to her was "Why was Carl out in that field in the first place? I left him with you, Lori. In the protection of the farm house, and you didn't watch him and he ended up in that field and ultimately, his gun shot drew in hundreds of walkers which over-ran the farm."

If we want to take a "technicality" approach, Lori failed to watch her son again, which resulted in him shooting a gun and having the farm swarmed with zombies. There is a good argument to be made that Lori was mostly at fault for all of this, including the reason why Shane was trying to kill Rick in the first place. lol But instead, she's in a rage that Rick "allowed" her son to shoot a zombie Shane. Everything was and is basically her fault. lol

this woman. She says she wants to stay away from Shane, even tells him to do so and does the opposite. Goes and talks to him any chance she gets. Shane tries to stay away but she always ends up talking to him. How will he get over her? -_- She is the cause of his death. Shane dies and she gets mad after telling Rick he is dangerous. Character sucks.

[harrisonfech]

My big thing was how she got mad at Rick when he told her about him killing Shane, and Carl putting him down. She told him that Shane was dangerous and then got mad at him for taking action. Other than that I didn’t mind her character at all

[Special_k]

She only waited 1 month after rick died before sleeping with his best friend

[valmirius]

She's so bad and reprehensible if you look across the seasons, I can't tell if it's just awful inconsistent writing, or it's just based on someone's experience with an ex girlfriend with severe BPD

Lori was an integral part of Rick and the Walking Dead's development. She created a dilemma for Rick, making the show more interesting. Without Lori the show would have been less interesting in the first 2 series

[mobski]

“Rich go show Daryl where Merle is” 1 scene later “yOu JuSt Got HeRe And Now You’Re GoNnA LeAve?!”

[alphawolf]

All she managed to do is cheat on Rick, get knocked up, baby and coddle Carl oh and yell at him for being useful, steal Maggie's car and wreck it, tell Rick to kill Shane then get mad at him for doing so.

[redstarseed]

Besides everything you said, she was just not a likable person all around. She has no skills and depended on others to save her ass all the time. She was pushy pushy and created conflicts everywhere by assigning herself as head of the women and assign them gender role chores. Don’t forget she gets everyone to run around doing her little bidding and all her errands. Half the time she was angry and you don’t even know why she was angry. She was just a trouble maker all around and yes, she was annoying as heck.

[rosalindharold]

Now Lori may have done some questionable things, but Once Lori saw that Rick was alive, she did not cheat with Shane.

[theventhatiqtho]

Bro lori is crazy. Telling rick to kill shane then losing her mind when he did.

[firablackmoore]

Not only did she sleep with her husbands best friend, but she kept telling rick that Shane was getting out of hand and that she was scared of him while also telling Shane the same thing about Rick, plus she kept telling shane to not leave the group when he wanted to leave because of her. She had planed for that whole thing to happen and knew that one of them was going to kill the other but was somehow shocked and was angry when she found out that rick killed Shane.
And I know that lori thought that her husband was dead, but it didn't take her long to jump onto Shane's dick and act like that she was in love with him. Lori also had a queen bee attitude that got annoying. Her whole personality was annoying. That's why she was hated so much.

[Journeyman]

Lori was super sneaky With the game she was playing with Rick and Shane even if she thought rick was dead thats still shady as hell to sleep with your husband's friend. She never backed rick up like she did Shane she didn't seem happy rick was back from the dead there was no warmth she had towards him until rick found the prison but by then it was too late rick resented her as much as he loved her by that point. Nothing likeable about her... I think she hated that early Rick was indecisive about his decisions for the group and was attracted by Shane's assertiveness with his decisions for the group and she admitted that she knew she drove a wedge between the two ...its like she wished that Rick never came back just like Shane wished.

[pyroAdapt]

I actually defended her a little bit back in the day simply because I felt she was just a mother trying to protect her son and that was her main priority which I think most can relate to. I can't excuse her manipulation and gas lighting but she wasn't the worst person ever By any means

[maroboy]

Lori was the reason Shane and Rick fell out, she was the reason Shane didn't leave, she played with strings to get what she wante, she was the reason Shane died she was the WORST PERSON ON THE PLANET

[xTristanx]

Lets not forget literally in the first min of the show rick talks to shane about lori and we can already tell she was a bad wife to rick even before the outbreak
