The Walking Dead was known for killing off many characters during its run. However, one death that really stuck with the audience was Glenn’s. When Steven Yeun’s character Glenn was brutally beaten to death with Negan’s baseball bat, it became a defining moment for the show. In fact, the impact was so significant that a newspaper even published an obituary for Glenn in Arkansas.
Andrew Lincoln, who played the show’s lead character Rick Grimes, acknowledged that Glenn’s death may have been too much for the audience. In an interview with Empire Magazine, he admitted that the show may have “over-egged the omelette” with that particular death. The filming of the scene was also intense, especially for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played Negan. Lincoln recalled how Morgan’s performance as Negan was so chilling that it made the other actors cry. Despite the emotional toll, Lincoln revealed that this level of intensity was considered normal on set.
Following Glenn’s death, some fans decided to stop watching the show. Lincoln himself left the series a few seasons later, but both he and Yeun returned for the series finale. Yeun went on to star in various projects such as “Nope,” “Beef,” and “Invincible.” He was even considered for a role in the “Thunderbolts” movie at one point. However, the memory of Glenn’s death continues to linger in the minds of fans, even after the original show ended.
