The Walking Dead’s Scott Gimple Provides a Statement on Fan Favorite Character’s Apparent Demise
In last night’s episode of “The Walking Dead,” a fan favorite character was apparently killed after being swarmed by a mob of walkers. But… we didn’t “really” see him die, and in the comics he met a much different fate. What are we to think?
The series’ exec producer/showrunner Scott Gimple provided the following statement to “Talking Dead,” the “TWD” rehash series hosted by Chris Hardwick, regarding the possible demise of Glenn Rhee, portrayed by Steven Yeun:
“Dear fans of ‘The Walking Dead,’ this is a hard story to tell and when we were planning to tell, we knew our friends at the ‘Talking Dead’ would be talking to you about it, and knowing you’d all be talking, and feeling and commiserating, I knew we should say something about it lest our silence say something we didn’t mean to say or not say. So I’ll say this: In some way, we will see Glenn, some version of Glenn or parts of Glenn again, either in flashback or in the current story to help complete the story.”
Okay, “Walking Dead” fans, what do YOU think that means? It should be noted that Yeun has been spotted on-set, with filming of this season still taking place. Have we seen the last of Glenn as we know him? Only time will tell!
