The actor behind The Walking Dead's latest victim was glad to go
If the headline weren’t already an indication, spoilers for Sunday night’s episode of The Walking Dead are contained herein.
The Walking Dead’s doing a bit of housecleaning, it seems, as it shambles its way into yet another circuitous season of plodding action. Last night, for example, it dispatched the character that had been set up as a new leader in the wake of Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan’s departures from the show. That character? Jesus, the bearded badass who was first introduced in the series’ sixth season. He was stabbed in the back during an attack from the Whisperers—whispering zombies that aren’t actually zombies but humans in zombie disguises and, Christ, this goddamned show—leaving many of his storylines from the comic book series, where he lives on, untapped.
