Last Monday the “The Walking Dead” family got smaller again. Two main characters were killed in the 1st episode of season 7. The cast also loses two popular actors. An emotional moment for everyone involved. Goodbye Abraham & Glenn!
What is already taking the fans away doesn’t leave the cast of the zombie series without a trace. This was shown, for example, at the Comic Con in New York. When Lauren Cohan (Maggie) was asked about the season opener, she began to cry. We now know why. With the death of Glenn and Abraham, the “TWD” family loses two popular actors: Steven Yeun and Michael Cudlitz. On Facebook, the fans not only expressed their grief, but also thanked them for the years in which the two enriched the series with their characters.
For days, pictures and videos have been circulating on the internet showing the cast saying goodbye to the two actors on the set. It is kissed and cuddled as much as possible. Private snapshots are also gradually appearing on Instagram with which the cast say goodbye to Steven Yeun and Michael Cudlitz - sometimes with touching texts that make it clear how closely the cast has grown together. We have put together a few of these pictures for you.
Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of words. Christian Serratos says goodbye to her film partner Michael Cudlitz by posting a photo that shows the two in a deep embrace. For “The Walking Dead” they played lovers for a long time and had their first appearance together in the fourth season. Now Christian has to say goodbye. Your companion leaves the show. You can see clearly from them that this is not easy for both of them. Michael Cudlitz shared the same picture on his Instagram page and added: “…… #perfection I love that. Watching her grow as a woman and as an artist ……. Thank you for being you. "
The mood on set must have been devastating when the deaths of Glenn and Abraham were filmed. Josh McDermitt says goodbye to his co-star with a positive image. On Twitter, he shared a photo with his fans that shows him together with Michael Cudlitz. Both are sitting in their armchairs on the set, covered in blood, laughing. Alanna Masterson was very tight on her mail. She posted a private picture a day ago showing Steven Yeun. "My ace," she wrote and underlined the moment with a peace sign emoji - which immediately brings back memories of Abraham's hidden farewell to Sasha. The feelings of the fans in the comments go on a roller coaster: joyful hearts alternate with crying smilies.
Norman Reedus didn't search long for many words. He just posted a screenshot that shows his love for Steven Yeun. The scene comes from a little clip that FOX released and shows the whole cast saying goodbye to Steven with kisses. Of course, Norman also gives him a kiss to say goodbye. Norman Reedus also said goodbye on Instagram with a screenshot of Michael Cudlitz. It shows a little surprise from Josh McDermitt, Christian Serratos and Norman Reedus: With fake beards, they hug Michael Cudlitz on his last day on the “TWD” set.
While he didn't personally find the shooting of Glenn's death scene particularly tough, it was much more difficult for him to ultimately see the scene in its finished state. To say goodbye to Michael Cudlitz and Steven Yeun, the women of “The Walking Dead” had come up with a special surprise: There was not only the “death dinner” - long a tradition in the cast - but all women studied a kind of boy band choreography , with which they surprised Steven and Michael.
