Last Monday, The Walking Dead family got smaller again. Two main characters were killed in Season 1 Episode 7. The cast also loses two popular actors. An emotional moment for everyone involved. Goodbye Abraham & Glenn!
What the fans are already taking with them is not leaving the cast of the zombie series untouched. This was shown, among other things, at the Comic Con in New York. When asked about the season opener, Lauren Cohan (Maggie) began to cry. Now we know why. With the death of Glenn and Abraham, the "TWD" family loses two popular actors: Steven Yeun and Michael Cudlitz. On Facebook, fans not only expressed their sorrow, but also thanked them for the years the two brought their characters to the series.
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 showing the two in an intimate embrace. For "The Walking Dead" they played a loving couple for a long time and had their first appearance together in the 4th season. Now Christian has to say goodbye. Your companion leaves the show. You can clearly see that the two of them don't find it easy. Sharing the same image on his Instagram page, Michael Cudlitz wrote, "…… #perfection I love these. Watching her grow as a woman and as an artist……. Thanks 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 did not search for many words. He just posted a screenshot showing his love for Steven Yeun. The scene is from a small clip released by FOX showing the whole cast kissing Steven goodbye. Norman, of course, also kisses him to say goodbye. Norman Reedus also said goodbye to 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 personally didn't find Glenn's death scene particularly hard to shoot, it was a lot harder 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" came 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 , which they surprised Steven and Michael with.
