When Scott Gimple was planning the end of The Walking Dead, he had the idea of ??producing three spin-offs: the one that would end up being Dead City, starring Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Rick’s earring
“The relocation to Europe became logistically untenable for Melissa at this time,” AMC reported in a statement lamenting her absence. McBride, after all, “has brought to life one of the most interesting, real, human and popular characters in The Walking Dead universe,” they told an audience that agreed. Carol’s character had gone from secondary with many points of being bitten or a victim of gender violence at any time in the first season to an essential heroine in an environment full of moral grayness.
But, for those who had lost hope, Jeffrey Dean Morgan has dropped that finally McBride has not disassociated himself from the universe of The walking dead. “Good good. I’m sorry Norman for talking lots of shit about you when we thought Melissa wouldn’t do the series!” The actor known as Megan has expressed from his social networks with a snapshot of Reedus and McBride together again on filming. “This must have been going on for a while! Maybe from the beginning. Damn, it’s great to see these two together!”
In this way, the rumors about a possible bad relationship between Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride are dispelled, a theory developed by a sector of the fans, who assumed that McBride had to have left the project for a more personal reason. And, if anyone wants to believe that the complaints from the fans contributed to this return, Morgan wanted to deny it: “On the contrary. Toxicity is toxicity. Nobody wants to hear about it, ”he told a fan who raised this idea, while adding that“ the love ”between Reedus and McBride is“ stronger than the shit out there ”.
As far as is known, the Daryl-centric spin-off was going to be called Daryl Dixon. In it, Daryl finds himself in France and must discover how he got there, seeing for the first time the ravages of the zombie epidemic on the European continent. Among the confirmed new characters, Clémence Poésy will play Isabelle, a member of a progressive religious group with a dark past, and Adam Nagaitis as Quinn, owner of a clandestine nightclub in Paris. Could this return of McBride to the project change the title of the spin-off?
David Zabel, a veteran screenwriter from the United States with a resume that led him to work on series such as ER, Star Trek: Voyager, Red Alert or the American remake of Red Bracelets, is the one who leads the creative reins of the spin-off. It is the first time that he has worked on The Walking Dead, unlike, for example, Eli Jorné, who leads Dead City after having written in the mother series, or Rick and Michonne, signed by Scott Gimple, creative director of the TWD universe, together with Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne.
