Why Melinda Monroe From Virgin River Looks So Familiar

During the 2010s, Alexandra Breckenridge made memorable appearances in a few horror series. In 2011, she guest-starred in the fourth season of HBO's popular fantasy horror series "True Blood," based on the book series by Charlaine Harris. She played Katerina Pelham, a wiccan secretly working for the security team of Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer). She infiltrates Marnie's (Fiona Shaw) coven at Bill's request to determine whether or not Marnie and the coven are a threat to vampires. Breckenridge made her first appearance in the Season 4 premiere, titled "She's Not There," and went on to appear in four episodes total. The character meets her demise in the seventh episode of the season, titled "Cold Grey Light of Dawn."

Breckenridge next appeared in FX's popular anthology series "American Horror Story." The first season, "Murder House," follows the Harmon family, who move into a beautifully restored older home that's filled with ghosts. Breckenridge had a recurring role as a young Moira O'Hara, who appears to the patriarch of the Harmon family (Dylan McDermott) as a seductive young maid. Moira is probably the role that most people associate Breckenridge with when it comes to "American Horror Story," but she also returned for a brief two-episode stint during the show's third season, "Coven." She portrayed Kaylee, a witch with the power of pyrokinesis who rejects an offer from Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) to remain at Miss Robichaux's Academy. Cordelia's husband, who's secretly a witch hunter, ultimately kills Kaylee.

A few years later, Breckenridge landed a recurring role on AMC's long-running horror series "The Walking Dead," based on Robert Kirkman's popular comic book series that details life after a zombie apocalypse. She appeared in Seasons 5 and 6 as Jessie Anderson, a resident of Alexandria who embarks on a romantic relationship with Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Sadly, Jessie is eventually killed and eaten by walkers.
