Katherine McNamara talks badass women, all things Abby Walker, and clears up THAT tartan photo with a story about Sam Heughan
Katherine McNamara, plays Abby Walker, on The CW's new hit prequel, Walker: Independence. The prequel was announced after Walker (starring Jared Padalecki) became an instant success. McNamara who is no stranger to playing a bad ass, plays Abby Walker, a survivor who is determined to keep moving forward after her husband gets murdered in front of her eyes. Walker ends up in Independence, Texas in search of justice and comes across all sorts of fun characters. McNamara said she had so much fun playing Abby Walker and working on developing her story and getting into the details of her character. She had fun in the period clothing (which she said is a mix of vintage and hand made items), as well as, working with Matt Barr (Hoyt Rawlins). McNamera said its quite a ride that Abby is going to go through this season but is proud of what she has accomplished so far. So lots of chaos ahead! Also for all those Outlander fans, McNamera does discuss not only the tartan in her promo photo but a little side anedote about Sam Heughan.

Synopsis:
Set in the late 1800s, an origin story of the series "Walker," "Walker Independence" follows Abby Walker, an affluent and tough-minded Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West. Abby arrives in the town of Independence, Texas, where she encounters diverse and eclectic residents running from their pasts, chasing their dreams, and keeping their own secrets. Abby runs into Hoyt Rawlins, a slippery rogue, thief, and con artist with a dented heart of gold who quickly eyes Abby as a mark, until she turns the tables on him. In seeking justice for her husband, Abby and Hoyt soon find themselves precariously aligned, both seeking to uncover the truth about the identity of Abby's husband's killer, and vow to save Independence -- a frontier boomtown where nothing is what it seems.
*Walker: Independence airs Thursdays on The CW and is available for streaming on The CW's website the following day.
