The Walking Dead actress Danai Gurira has revealed how deeply she was affected by the departure of Carl Grimes actor, Chandler Riggs.
Considering how frequently characters bite the dust on The Walking Dead, the reaction to Carl’s death, both from fans and the cast, has been far stronger than usual – a reaction AMC was perhaps hoping for.
The Walking Dead season 8 premieres February 25th with ‘Honor’ on AMC.
Some may argue that The Walking Dead needed to make bold changes due to a recent slump in ratings and increasingly divided critical reaction but whether or not giving Carl the chop was the correct response remains to be seen.
