The Walking Dead killed lots of people when it was on. Some deaths had been earned, some felt unfair, others had been form of humorous, however not many caught with the present’s viewers like watching Steven Yeun’s Glenn die. As within the comics, Glenn will get overwhelmed to loss of life with Negan’s spiked baseball bat, and it was a fairly large deal on the time, to some extent {that a} newspaper in Arkansas really revealed an obituary for him days later.
Some folks jumped off the present as soon as he obtained knocked off, and even former main man Andrew Lincoln admitted the present would possibly’ve crossed the road with Glenn.

[That death] could have lingered an excessive amount of.” The precise filming of the loss of life was additionally fairly intense, he added, notably for Negan actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Lincoln recalled Morgan doing a monologue in entrance of everybody and being “one of many [show’s] most disagreeable characters.” As the opposite actors had been sure on their knees and crying, Morgan requested him if this was regular, to which Lincoln’s Rick Grimes confirmed, “Yeah, everyone simply retains going.”
