The Walking Dead Season 8: 10 Most Revealing Things The Cast Have Said
9. "It’s Only Been A Matter Of Weeks Since Negan Killed Glenn”
What Was Said?
“I always want to put a little ticker tape along the bottom of the episode saying how far into the apocalypse and into the pregnancy we are because I’m playing newly pregnant for a really long time. But the truth of the matter is, it’s only been a matter of weeks since Negan killed Glenn.”
Who Said It?
Lauren Cohan (Maggie Rhee) - Entertainment Weekly
What Does This Mean?
This is an important snippet from Cohan, as time can be difficult to follow in the world of The Walking Dead. Seasons are not set across a consistent duration and it is difficult to guess how long has passed based solely on the length of Rick’s beard.
Alexandria’s suffering under Negan was made to feel like a lot longer than a few weeks. That The Saviours can inflict so much damage in a short amount of time makes them seem so much more dangerous as we pick up the season eight action almost exactly where we left it.
It is also a reminder that Maggie is still in the early stages of her pregnancy so, while slightly vulnerable, she should not be physically restricted from taking a full part in the conflict.
