AceShowbiz - After a long two week wait, "The Walking Dead" still leaves fans guessing the fate of Glenn (Steven Yeun). The actor's name was once again removed from the opening credits of this week's episode though other characters addressed what possibly happened to him.
In "Now" which aired November 8, [SPOILER ALERT!] as the group who herded the quarry walkers away from Alexandria was back without Glenn, they assumed that he's dead. But the grieving Maggie insisted that she needed a definite answer, so she planned to sneak out to find Glenn, dead or alive.
Knowing this, Aaron insisted on accompanying her, but before they went too far, they learned that they're still close to the half-herd walkers. Aaron thought they could still make it, but Maggie refused to take the risk for the same reason why Glenn didn't let her join the group who herded the walkers away. "I'm pregnant," she revealed.
Still, Maggie refused to give up on him. Back at Alexandria, she erased Glenn's name from the wall of death.
Lauren Cohan who plays Maggie has talked to Variety about her character's reaction. "I think we've known Maggie as a character who perseveres with hope, and I don't think this is any exception. He's not back but he's come back and we as a group have come back from worse things, so when there is an option, always hope," she explains what drove Maggie to keep hope that Glenn's alive.
Asked how Maggie deals with Glenn's absence after losing other important people in her life (Beth and Hershel), Cohan says, "Maggie is this person who will not give up, it's innocent until proven otherwise, so as we see at the end of this episode, I'm taking his name off that wall, as is Aaron."
"The Walking Dead" returns with a new episode titled "Always Accountable" on Sunday, November 15 at 8 P.M. ET on AMC. It will follow Daryl, Abraham and Sasha who encounter many obstacles and a new threat while trying to return to Alexandria.
