This Week’s Cover: The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun shares the inside story of Glenn's brutal death

“I don’t know if I’ve fully processed it yet,” says Steven Yeun about the untimely demise of his character on The Walking Dead. Fans could say the same thing.

Yeun appears on the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly and shares his memories about playing Glenn on television’s top-rated drama, as well as his thoughts about having to say goodbye to both the character and the show. “This is something that will hit me maybe a couple of months from now,” he says. “Or maybe it’ll hit me next year. Maybe it’ll be when I’m 45 and all of a sudden I’m just crying in my kitchen and I can’t explain why. At that point, it was beautiful in that it was so easy for me to get emotional. Personally, for me, I’m not one to cry all the time. I don’t cry much in real life. And when you do not cry in real life, the moments that you do cry are very, very fulfilling and cathartic. You realize, maybe I should cry more in general.”

Yeun also discusses whether he thinks the graphic violence was too much, what it was like for his family to have to sit through the scene (not all of them did), the importance of Glenn’s final words, as well as how he felt leaving The Walking Dead set for the final time.

“It was a really confusing time for me personally,” says Yeun of his exit. “It was a sense of relief that a chapter was closing, a sense of accomplishment in looking back and seeing all the things that I got to be a part of, a sense of sadness in knowing that I don’t get to work with these people in the same capacity again, and a sense of confusion because I didn’t know how to place a lot of it because I had to keep it secret.”

Lauren Cohan, Andrew Lincoln, and Norman Reedus also each pay tribute to their costar with personal remembrances about working with Yeun over the course of the series, while Walking Dead comic creator Robert Kirkman honors the man who played fellow victim Abraham, Michael Cudlitz. Plus, the cast and producers tell you what to expect next on the show. (Hint: One person is not about to take this Negan business lying down.)

EW is the WORST when it comes to spoilers, but this is a new low for them.

And they didn't even bother acknowledging Abe's death with his own cover. Heck he's doesn't even get a mention on Glenn's cover

I think you have to take the context into account Kane, The sustained, brutality of Glenn's death and throughout the enitre 45 minutes was beyond anything you get for a Hard R or TV-MA IMO.

Check out Shane with long hair lol ... Morrissey is a good one too

Well I gotta hand it to Gimple. This show did something I didn't think it would do.

Spoiler

I knew it would be Abraham but I NEVER expected that fake out. That was clever of them and it only makes Negan worse. The surprise made Glenn's death still deeply disturbing to me and I experience it all over again when I read it in the comic. I felt so uneasy. This could have been the most disturbing episode of tv I've seen. It's still in my head.

Jesus. Seeing it in live action is something else. Especially with such a likable actor. It takes on a new dimension of disturbing.

I don't get the controversy. They got the point they were achieving and they lived up to the stupid hype the finale left. They delivered and people are still complaining? We knew someone was gonna get a bat to the head. Jesus.

The problem is, this show has become pretty safe when it comes off killing characters, especially ones we don't much care about. Whereas in the comic, nearly every death is heart wrenching because you love most of the characters, it always feels like a major blow in a way. I think viewers have been very accustomed to this. So when finally the show takes a ****ing chance and goes there people are in an uproar. This show needed this jolt badly. To wake viewers up and remind them that this is part of how this world works. And it's made me want to continue. Morgan is awesome as Negan and we're finally getting a villain to hate. For once I felt like I felt a kinship with the comic. This is TWD we should have been getting all along.

It is if the content goes beryond the expected boundries of the rating.

While the S7 was very intense , there are numerous shows that have more mature content. The S5 premiere of American Horror Story was far more brutal.

I don't watch that show but I find it hard to imagine it was worse than seeing one human being smash another human beings head to pulpy mush while his pregnant wife watches on in horror.

I've seen my share of horror flicks, but I didn't even make it through AHS:Hotel after seeing:

Spoiler

Multiple characters killed via explicit sexual assault. Another character was tortured by having his eyes and tongue cut out, while having his hands impaled on a headboard while also given drugs to keep him erect inside of a corpse.

 

[Reek]

gus fring as two-face was pretty bad... i wasn't at all shocked about how violent they made it but again, the comics had me prepared...

 

[Sawyer]

So, since no one answered the actual thread... is anyone else thinking they play out the season through to the end of the All Out War arc in the comics, thus kicking off S8 with [blackout]the time jump[/blackout]? The S8 premiere will be episode 100, so I think that would be the perfect opportunity.

I just really hope it's pedal to the metal from here on out this season. Don't take your eye off the ball by throwing filler in to pad the season.

 

[Reek]

I said this a few pages back.. if you paid attention to my thoughts instead of my body, you'd have noticed.

I think the season ends with [blackout] negans capture... so yea the time jump. [/blackout]

The problem with the “complaint” is the source: the Parents Television Council is a religious conservative watchdog group that acts like the town council from Footloose over anything on TV that isn’t on the Hallmark Channel. Plus they love the free press they get whenever they go off on whatever is popular on TV right now.

Nothing’s going to come of that complaint....people who swear by the recommendations of the PTC aren’t watching TWD. And the PTC got attention, which is what they really wanted anyway.

Honestly, as brutal as it was, I didn’t think it was worse than stuff that’s already happened on the show. It hurts more, because it was characters we loved. But this show’s always been cruel and disgusting.

I hope they do, but....

Spoiler

...knowing the pacing on this show, they’ll probably stretch All Out War into Season 8, and they do the time-jump at the midseason premiere.

Eh. I wouldn't love that, but I'd take it over [blackout]making Negan a two-season threat and pushing the time jump to Season 9[/blackout].

Trying to figure out why tf Carol isn't in this pic.

 

[Reek]

she took the pic, with an evil smile on her face

 

[2002SpideyFan]

These guys definitely didn't expect the show to take this turn. So much emotions, man...

Why are Rick and Carl the only ones smiling in that picture?

 

[Slick]

Daryl kinda looks like he's smiling.

 

[Reek]

Carl looks like a future serial killer there ... Negan was right from the beginning.
