However, the Alexandrians and Hilltop residents might not be so willing to trust Virgil after everything he did to Michonne, assuming they’d find out about the drug-laced hostage situation.
It wasn’t 100% clear whether Kevin Carroll meant Virgil connecting to “the collective” in the sense of the show’s audience or the show’s character ensemble.
Some of the protagonists might even have a problem with him being partially to blame for everything going kaput at the Naval base.
I can’t imagine viewers wouldn’t welcome the Leftovers and Snowfall star into the story on a regular basis.
