Norman Reedus says Andrew Lincoln is irreplaceable on The Walking Dead.
“I don’t think anyone’s gonna step up and be Rick,” Reedus said.
Andy Lincoln was the show’s leader off-screen, too, with boundless enthusiasm and warmth and charisma that doesn’t come as naturally to most other people.
Asked if Daryl would become The Walking Dead’s new Rick — that is, the leader of the survivors (and lead of the show) — now that Lincoln has left, Reedus told reporters at the show’s Georgia set, simply, “no.”
