We spoke toMelissa McBrideandNorman Reedusto get their take on how their characters see Negan now.
Carol responded to that question with a simple shrug, but what did the shrug mean?
“I think just uncertainty,” says McBride.

“What we’ve experienced from him is friendship with Judith, helping in the community.
It’s a very different perspective than Maggie’s going to have.
I think the shrug was ‘maybe, but maybe not.’

I don’t know.
“Yeah, I think Carol felt obligated to be the one,” McBride says.
But what about Daryl?
He worked together with Negan to take out Beta, but is less quick to forgive grudges.
So where is Daryl coming down on this whole issue?
“Maggie and Daryl definitely share something, and that was Glenn,” says Reedus.
And he took that with him into the whole next season with the torture and all of that stuff.
I think it gave them a closer bond.
So what’s the bottom line for Daryl Dixon?
Is he trying to win us over?
We saw Negan save Daryl and not shoot him with a shotgun.
And then we saw Daryl save Negan by killing Beta for him.
We saw these things happen, but we don’t have a friendship bracelet with Negan right now.”
Maybe not, but if they could introduce friendship bracelets ASAP onThe Walking Deadthat would be fantastic, thanks.
