Warning: If you’ve DVRed last night’s episode of The Walking Dead and haven’t seen it yet, the following article contains SPOILERS. If you don’t want to know, please bookmark this article for later and come back after you’ve seen the episode!
The Walking Dead showed a little flesh last night–and not the putrefying zombie kind. There was plenty of undead flesh on display, but two of the living hooked up last night with Glenn and Maggie sharing an intimate moment in the wake of the latest zombie kill.
In
the episode, Maggie loved and then left Glenn, leaving Glenn left feeling confused. But fans of the comic series know that Maggie and Glenn have a longer story than just a one-time fling and series creator and show producer Robert Kirkman says we haven’t seen the last of the new romance.
“I can’t go into too many details as far as the Glenn-Maggie relationship goes, I wouldn’t want to reveal too much, but I can say it’s kept largely intact from what happens in the comic book series,” Kirkman said. “Seeing Lauren Cohan and Steven Yeun on set together is just absolutely amazing for me. It’s like, ‘Oh, there’s Glenn and Maggie!’
“Watching them kiss is no fun, that’s just weird,” he quipped. “But they do a good job at it. They seem to enjoy kissing each other. I think Steven might enjoy it more than Lauren, but that’s just my take on the situation.”
On a serious note, Kirkman applauded the Glenn-Maggie romance for shining a spotlight on the brighter side of the Walking Dead universe — a side that’s very rarely seen.
“It brings a sense of hope into the show, that these two people can find each other and find love,” Kirkman said. “It’s fun to have a bit of romance in there and think that, despite everything that’s going on in this world, two people can find some form of happiness.
“Until a zombie attacks,” he quickly warned, “and zombies do attack from time to time.”
