Development and reception


Sherry is portrayed by Christine Evangelista. The character entered the recurring cast beginning with the episode "Always Accountable" of the sixth season. Kelly Lawler of USA Today reviewed the seventh season episode "The Cell", saying, "Sherry's wearing heels and sundresses and pregnant with Negan’s baby and Dwight is chasing down defectors and eating egg sandwiches and looking generally depressed. Yay?"
Christine Evangelista was promoted to a series regular starting with the sixth season for the spin-off of the series Fear the Walking Dead being the third character to enter the crossover of the series. Evangelista learned in winter 2019 that she would reprise her character on Fear, and when filming her scenes she was taken to the set separately from the other actors using umbrellas to hide her, to keep her return more secret. During an interview with Mike Bloom who writes for CBR.com, Bloom asked him about what his fans think about his return to the franchise and Evangelista replied: "The fans are extraordinary on this show. I got such wonderful messages. It couldn't have been more positive. I think it was such an earned moment between these two characters. All the fans felt that. I got messages of people crying audibly in the background as they watched our reunion. I think it's kind of symbolic. We've all been in this isolation for so long; we've been away from our loved ones. I think there was a true sentiment people felt. It made me feel really good."
In a review of the sixth season episode "Alaska" in which Sherry returns, Erik Kain of Forbes wrote: "yeah, it's Sherry. Of course it's Sherry. And of course Fear The Walking Dead reunites Dwight and Sherry after all this time with a fracking walkie talkie [...] The sheer coincidence of Sherry and Dwight running into each other after all this time in the middle of nowhere Texas is already a ridiculous stretch of plausibility, but to have it occur via walkie talkie is just insulting." Kirsten Acuna from Insider commented that "In what was one of the most satisfying moments in "The Walking Dead" universe in a long time, Dwight and Sherry, played by Christine Evangelista, were finally reunited at the episode's end, culminating in an emotional alleyway embrace." Cameron Bonomolo of Comicbook wrote about Sherry's character development in his review and wrote: "So I think that had some things to do with scheduling along the way, but again, I just think it makes everything else that's happening right now just so much more earned," Evangelista said. "And [it's] this moment that I [not only] think is really fulfilling for me creatively, but I think for fans too. It's nice to have something like a glimmer of hope. It's really something to hold on to and hope for. And in the world of Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead, all these people have is hope."
Paul Daily writing for TV Fanatic reviewed the episode "Honey", writing: "Negan was a merciless ruler, and his reign of terror had a profound effect on both Dwight and Sherry, to the point that either one of them would still kill him if they got the chance. That could explain why Sherry was so intent on murdering Virginia without having the resources to take down her army. I appreciated the way Sherry wanted to do the deed, but I enjoyed the emotional dilemma she had when Dwight urged her not to pull the trigger." Emily Hannemann of TV Insider wrote: "I knew when Dwight and Sherry got their episode, it wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows. What I loved about this is how it played off its 'source material,' so to speak — Dwight and Sherry never really escaped Negan's shadow, even though they went all the way to Texas in the attempt. There's something chilling about that, and it's a message Seasons 4 and 5 of this show never would've endeavored to send." David S.E. Zapanta from Den of Geek! and wrote: "In the end, Dwight is foiled by Sherry herself. She sees his slow fall from grace and fears he may revert to who he was within Negan's walls. As it is, she blames herself for allowing Negan to be a monstrous presence in everyone's lives. In other words, she's suffered one tyrant too many [...] Sherry's own transformation seems to come out of left field, especially when you consider she kept this masked faction from Dwight."
Erik Kain of Forbes said in a review of the episode "Things Left to Do", about Sherry arguing with Morgan: "shut up Sherry. You're an awful character. And you keep getting worse [...] Angry Sherry tells Sad Dwight that even though he's spent years looking for her, she'd rather bone her new friends. She’s into masks, maybe (though I'm sure Dwight wouldn't turn her down if she asked him to wear one). It's kind of a lame reunion and has been ever since he found her in the first place. A gimmicky, pointless, ultimately kind of depressing conclusion to Dwight's Epic Quest for Wifey. C'est la vie." Kain also commented in his review of "Handle with Care" that "Sherry continues to be awful and at this point I’m more annoyed by her than by the gimmick of bringing her back to the show. Maybe a zombie will get her." Writing for "TV Fanatic", Paul Daily reviewed the same episode and wrote: "Sherry is another character getting the time to shine. Christine Evangelista was basically a guest star on the main series. Getting to see this other side to Sherry as she tries to put her past with Negan behind her while simultaneously trying to keep it together has been exciting. The character feels grounded in reality, and her complicated relationship with Dwight shows no signs of slowing down."
