TWD's Jeffrey Dean Morgan Responds To Carol Actress's Spinoff Exit
The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who portrays the villain-turned-hero Negan on the zombie horror show, has recently taken to social media to defend co-star Melissa McBride regarding her exit from the planned Carol and Daryl spinoff series. Originally debuting in 2010, The Walking Dead centers on a revolving cast of characters as they struggle to survive during the years following a cataclysmic zombie outbreak. McBride and Norman Reedus are the only cast members to appear in every season of the long-running show.
AMC recently announced that McBride will no longer be associated with her The Walking Dead spin-off series. Initially believed to be fueled by a creative decision, McBride's exit was later confirmed to be a personal decision by the actor herself. With the upcoming show set in Europe, McBride found the on-location shoot to be unfavorable and respectfully backed out of the project. The series will reportedly continue with Daryl as the spin-off's sole lead.
