It’s an understatement to say that Maggie and Negan do not get along. This makes sense since he brutally murdered Maggie’s husband, Glen. Literally popped his eyeball out. But the Negan vendetta won’t be the only thing to Maggie’s storyline in the final season of The Walking Dead.
The executive producer of the series, Scott Gimple, revealed as much recently. Sure, it will certainly come up but Maggie won’t be defined by her feud with Negan. The two might even come to blows!
The last time we saw the two was in The Walking Dead season 10 finale. Negan came back into Alexandria and flashed Maggie a big smile, even though Carol tried to banish him. “If you stay here, she will kill you.” she warned Negan. How Maggie deals with Negan will be part of a bigger storyline for the final season.
“It certainly isn’t just about that [Maggie vs Negan]. She isn’t defined by that,” Gimple said during a recent appearance on TWDUniverse on Twitch. “It is some pretty crucial business, obviously the end of the episode [‘Here’s Negan’] seems to tell us that it’s nothing to sneeze at.”
The reason Maggie came back was to actually help end the Whisperer War. Later on, she confesses to Daryl that she actually spent several years on the road because of what Negan did. She brought her son back to Alexandria, deciding he and the other survivors who are being hunted by the reaper need a home. Hilltop burned down, you see.
“She was out there doing pretty incredible things,” Gimple said of Maggie. “She went from someone who was listening to her dad obviously and wasn’t sure walkers were sick or whether they were dead, to someone who very quickly became the leader of a community and stabilized them and led them through some very difficult stuff. She wore that in a way that seemed like she was born for it. That’s a huge part of her story. Even motherhood, I wouldn’t say would define her.”
“Seeing this kind of leader emerge from the apocalypse, forged by the apocalypse, I think that’s her story,” the Walking Dead Universe chief content officer added. “I think Negan is an unbelievable complication to that, but to hit it one more time, it doesn’t define her.”
Both actors for Negan and Maggie have at one point or another teased the coming confrontation.
“When Maggie and Negan come face-to-face again and he returns to Alexandria, it’s gonna make for some really messy unraveling as we contend with whether he can be redeemed,” Cohan said after “Here’s Negan,” “[and] whether Maggie can forgive him.”
Jeffrey Dean Morgan added a little, too.
“How are they going to co-exist? Are they going to co-exist?”
It looks like, one way or another, The Negan vendetta will come to an end.
Well, we’ll find ouy this August when The Walking Dead returns for its final season on AMC!
