Andrew Lincoln 'is LEAVING The Walking Dead after six episodes of season nine'

And Daryl to become lead character..

WD is good but how many seasons is there going to be ? that why he leaving lol they must have to end WD soon . Season 9 or 10 otherwise it will get boring or just same thing happens all time like repeat of stories

I think leaving in season 9 is the right move for RIck/Andrew. I think his character has run it's course. Also I can't see the show running past season 10..

I see Andrew Lincoln leaving as a positive, Rick was an awful leader, and their was nowhere left to go with his character. I'm. surprised Dixon will get. so much money.

They need to persuade Dixon to stay somehow as without him they might as well cancel the show..

I am sooooo sad to hear this. Rick is the heart and soul of the show. TWD remains my favorite show but I have been guessing it’ll soon have run its course and may end. Without Rick, it won’t be the same. 😢 Lincoln says he wants to spend more time with his family and I can understand that but still. 😢. I love Darryl too. Maybe he can take the lead, tho his character is more of a rebel no??? I read that Rick will only be in the first 6 episodes. Does anyone else think it’s strange that we are told ahead of time that Rick will be leaving? Usually that’s the shocker of the season when the main character gets killed off. It makes me wonder if Rick’s exit may not be getting killed. Could he just take Judith and take off? Plus I really hope he kills Negan before he leaves. However we know Negan is itching to kill Rick. Maybe Rick will get LucilleD.

Btw dont look for Maggie to stay. She’s booked for another show and I hear she’ll be seen much less this season. Don’t you think it’s about time she start showing her pregnancy? 😂

While I’m at it let me also say I’m almost giving up on Fear. None of the characters on that show are really likable. I can’t put my finger on it but I can’t get into it. I did think Nick was the most likable and most caring but they killed him off too. And maybe I am alone but I’m really tired of Morgan he just gets annoying to me. And,Fear is getting to do the same thing that The Walking Dead did that many fans didn’t like by devoting one or two entire episodes to one minor character.

Ok that’s my rant for today. I still am bummed that Andrew Lincoln is leaving.

George Romero called The Walking Dead a soap opera. I watched the final of Fear the Walking Dead. He was right. It was mopey and depressing, overly dramatic, and awful.

Season 9 Trailer is out.. Looking Good if i may say..

It looks really good. I always hoped Rick would be the one to kill Negan but not sure it that will happen. I have to admit, I love the show and have watched every season, with of course, some seasons/episodes being better than others BUT with Andrew Lincoln leaving I'm not sure if the show can go on. I also hear Maggie has a role in another show and will only be in a 5/6 episodes this season. Don't know if it's true, but I also read Andrew Lincoln will appear only in the first episodes, tho no clue has to how he'll exit. I'm pretty much done with Fear tho. I just lost interest and none of the characters are that appealing to me for some reason.

Anyway, I look forward to TWD season 9, at least for now. Btw, isn't unusual that the fans get a heads-up on who's leaving? Especially the main character. That probably would have been the series "shocker" to just spring it on us.

Btw, to the comic book TWD fans, does Rick get killed in the comics?

As of the July issue, nope. He's still alive.

I think it's a stunt to get fans talking and interested in a sagging show. He'll likely take some time off to do another project, then come back when the show needs to be boosted up.

I was thinking this also. Seems odd that they would announce that he is leaving the show ahead of a new season..

It looks rushed when I looked at the trailer for the next season like Sons of Anarchy was in their last season.

Fear the Walking Dead just had an awful season, I was surprised that even many critics who have given them the benefit of the doubt in the past have called it lackluster, which is a nice way of saying it was boring and overly corny.

Yeah I was never a fan of either but I heard its gotten pretty bad

It's gotten so bad a few critics even gave their own versions of storyline ideas. I think they have run out of any ideas but won't bring in new writers, or close out the show. As to why they won't use new writers is beyond me, but the reason to keep it going is the money. I fast forward through it now, but it still counts ratings wise since I DVR it first.

Never been my type of show. Im more of a crime drama guy

Actor Scott Wilson who played Hershel died yesterday aged 76.

He was in it at the peak of the show and i really liked his character.. Sad news..

I read a brief bio of him, he was in a. big movie with Robert Blake in the beginning of his career, but never. became as big of an actor as critics predicted for him. He did have a long career and worked steadily, a shame he died after revival of sorts through the Walking Dead.

He was scheduled to be returning to the WD.

It would have had to be in flashbacks, his character was killed off.

Good episode to begin the season with. We know things won't stay as they are. I just wonder which direction we will go down..

They have ported it as Rick's last season and strongly hinted he gets killed, I wonder if they will leave it open to interpetation as to whether or not he is dead when the season ends. They may want to bring him back in the future if ratings are down

You never know, I think they were bringing back Hershel and he is for real Dead.

It's weird that they announced beforehand that Rick will be leaving. It would have been better for shock factor to not announced it. They can't kill him off surely..

Nah he'll leave or something...

And then he will return one day

That would've been a better idea. I keep thinking Rick will pull a Morgan and walk away. But then again why would he purposely leave Judith and Michonne? So what do you think of what Maggie did to Gregory?

SPOILERS FOR 10/14/18 EPISODE

Maggie seems to be taking a turn to the dark side no? Hanging Gregory was a bit extreme. Poor Aaron. Such a nice guy and then to have his arm chopped off by newly Dr. Enid. Ouch!! AND Carol and Ezekiel? Who would have thought, as well as Gabriel and Jadice.


I don't know how Rick will go, tho I'm guessing his character will die. I gotta say, I half heartedly am watching this season because I am so sad to see my favorite character leave the show.

We know Maggie is going to be in another show and yesterday I saw on Yahoo a list of new tv shows and tho I don't remember the show, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was in the picture, so I'm guessing his time is up on TWD. Maybe Negan will be the one to take out Rick. God, I hope not. I wanted Rick to be the one to kill Negan. Although, I gotta say, I can certainly see where Maggie would want to.

As much as I love the show I can't see how much longer it will be on. Not cause of Rick leaving but for it seems all they do is fight other groups now and a few walkers. Starting to lose my attention.
