"It would have been easy for us to fall apart": Jeffrey Dean Morgan talks about dealing with Andrew Lincoln's exit in 'The Walking Dead'
Jeffrey thinks that the storytelling has been super exciting, and the tone of the show got to change. It's not a reboot, it's a new beginning, he feels.
When there is a big change happening in a show, especially if the change ends up being the departure of the lead actor, it is obvious that the fans will tend to go overboard and assume that it will be ruined. But sometimes it might not always go that way. Though it is not something that happens quite often, the cast and crew of 'The Walking Dead' reveal that they have already had a discussion regarding this scenario with Andrew Lincoln's departure as Rick Grimes.
Quite sad watching The Walking Dead premiere. Under a new show runner there’s still some compelling and promising stuff nine series in, just such a shame it’s all coming from Lauren Cohen and Andrew Lincoln, when their exit is imminent 😞
