Many fans of The Walking Dead are still upset about the harsh scene.
Fans of The Walking Dead were heartbroken when a favorite character from the first season was killed off. Now, one of the actors says the death was too extreme.
This well-known zombie show ran from 2010 to 2022, ending after eleven seasons and 177 episodes.
Many fans will never forget Glenn’s death in The Walking Dead. Steven Yeun played Glenn, and his character met a tragic end at the start of season 7.
The bad guy, Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, used Lucille’s barbed-wire bat to hit Glenn on the head. Glenn’s death was slow, very bloody, and one of the most shocking moments in the show.
Glenn had a sweet romance with Maggie, played by Lauren Cohan, so his death was especially hard for fans who loved their relationship in past seasons.
The scene aired in October 2016, and viewers still haven’t gotten over it. One actor from the show said that The Walking Dead made Glenn’s death too extreme.
Andrew Lincoln, who played Rick Grimes, told Empire,
“I think we might have gone too far with Glenn’s death, Maybe the scene went on too long.”
Andrew Lincoln said they filmed the scene during a long night shoot. It was one of the first scenes Jeffrey Dean Morgan filmed as Negan. Morgan’s big speech from season seven made many of the cast and crew cry.
Andrew Lincoln explained, “On his first day, Jeffrey Dean Morgan had to give an amazing speech, and everyone who wasn’t on camera was crying.” Jeffrey Dean Morgan came over and asked, “Is this normal?” I said, “Yeah, everyone just keeps going.” It was a fantastic night.
Andrew Lincoln left his role as Rick Grimes in season nine but came back in the follow-up series The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, which aired earlier this year.
This six-part series showed what happened to characters like Rick Grimes. Fans were happy to see Rick reunited with his love, Michonne, played by Danai Gurira.
