Setting the stage. The Walking Dead will soon change into a little less crowded with the departure of each Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes and Lauren Cohan’s Maggie Rhee. Cohan is only set to appear in six episodes of season Nine since her ABC drama, Whiskey Cavalier, was not too long ago picked up at ABC. While Lincoln has chosen to depart the show altogether, Cohan’s exit may be a less permanent one.
During the Sunday, October 14, episode, a big hint used to be dropped as to how Maggie could leave the show, but still stay alive. While discussing her plans for the Hilltop with Jesus (Tom Payne), she brings up Georgie (Jayne Atkinson), the survivor who used to be presented last season. It’s published that Georgie is hoping to have Maggie sign up for her – which might be what happens come time for Cohan to go away.
“That’s a good suspicion,” showrunner Angela Kang advised The Hollywood Reporter when asked if it’s smart to bet that after Maggie leaves, it will be with Georgie. “I’m now not going to mention that’s exactly what occurs.”
She continued: “It’s like while you’re enjoying a video game, and the fog of the map round you is expanding as you move into other areas to explore. That’s what’s going down with [Georgie’s workforce]. The Alexandrian crew thought it was once simply them before Jesus got here alongside and informed them, ‘The international is such a lot larger than you think.’ Then they discovered thru Georgie the international is even bigger than that workforce idea. There will be certain that societies that just kind of exist in the market, that we don’t continuously test in on. We don’t at all times inform stories with Oceanside, however they’re very much there. That’s the identical deal with Georgie and the twins. She’s off trying to figure out who else is out there. That builds very much into the idea of civilization that every one of our characters are grappling with.”
Regardless of Cohan’s departure, the drama will nonetheless “tell more stories with Maggie,” Kang noted, adding she’s very hopeful that Cohan’s go out gained’t be perpetually.

“Lauren and I've had conversations, and she’s excited to come again, despite the fact that it’s no longer for a complete season. We can paintings with that. That’s scheduling issues,” she said. “We’ll figure out the story. She’s great. We have a really perfect courting, and she still loves the show. Sometimes our actors want to spread their wings a bit of bit. We get that.”
The Walking Dead airs on AMC Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
