WOW! YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT TVD’S ROSE IS UP TO NOW 

Remember Rose? The stunning vampire BFF of Trevor who almost hooked up with Damon? It turns out, Rose has come the longest way from

, “I got to be violent, I got to explore dementia. That’s not something that happens everyday on a TV show. I got to really make a mini movie with people that I had a really fun time with. I walked away with new friends, and I walked away with a new understanding of what I want to be able to create.”

During Lauren Cohan’s tenure on the series, she also landed roles in other popular shows. Cohan had bit parts and walk-on roles in

in 2011, an heir out to avenge her baddie dad’s time behind bars. “She’s searching for her purpose and finds out that it’s a lot darker and more complex than she ever could have imagined,” Cohan told

… A little show you may have heard of called

, stars as Maggie Greene, a farmer’s daughter with a lot of grit—and one half of a zombie-fighting power couple with Steven Yeun’s Glenn Rhee. The survivors have been together onscreen since 2011, living through—spoiler alert—prisons, walker invasions, evil governors, you name it. (Though, if you saw last season’s finale or read the comics on which the AMC series is based, be warned: There may be a broken heart coming!)

Cohan’s character is pregnant on the show, and that comes with special challenges. She explained to

, “As crazy as the world is, I don’t think it’s getting any less crazy, and she’s said a few times through the course of the series that you can’t stop — what was the exact line? You have to keep living. We’re not here just to survive, we’re here to live. I think that Glenn and Maggie having a child together is completely in line with that. They’ve already come through the other side of all these things and the hope of a child, the hope for everything has always been what’s helped her persevere — finding love and being in love and finding family that you trust, even if you’re losing people. In a world where you could have so many bad outcomes, there are still positives. They have to keep pushing forward. The only way that this world gets you is if you become a victim to it, and having a baby is a way of saying, ‘No, this is the way I choose to live.\'”

The Philadelphia-born and British bred beauty’s resume doesn’t stop there. In 2014, she guest-starred on animated series

as the sultry Juliana Calderon, the unfaithful first lady of San Marcos. “My character is amazing,” she told

. “She’s basically like a wealthy corrupt President’s wife who is vaguely European. It was really fun and a really good comedy break from the usual. It’s maybe the most fun I’ve ever had.”

that she took the doll, Brahms, around the house with her during and after filming, often to hilarious results.

“There are actually some workmen here right now and I’m in the other room, so I am not sure how they’re reacting,” she chuckled. “I took him down to the gym this morning to take some funny selfies, and everyone in the gym was pretending that it wasn’t strange — looking but not looking, if you know what I mean. I felt inclined to explain myself and then I thought, ‘You know what? No matter how I explain this I sound really odd, so I’m just gonna let it be weird.’ It’s been a funny morning.”

baddie Jeffrey Dean Morgan onscreen yet again — and this time, the screen was big. Cohan and Morgan starred as Martha and Thomas Wayne — parents to Bruce Wayne — in the blockbuster

. Spoiler alert: It was probably the only role she’ll ever take where she doesn’t make it out alive. (We know, we know — we felt the same way, too.)

As for what’s next on her agenda? She’s starring alongside Danai Gurira (Michonne on TWD) and Kat Graham (Bonnie Bennett) in the Tupac Shakur biopic,
