[SPOILERS AHEAD! THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS DETAILS FROM 'THE WALKING DEAD' EPISODE 'THANK YOU']
Fans of 'The Walking Dead' are currently distraught after the recent Season Six episode featured what looked like the end for beloved character Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun). After surviving countless walker hordes, could Glenn really die before comic book villain Negan gets his hands on him?
'The Walking Dead' executive producer recently spoke with TVLine to discuss the numerous shockers in 'Thank You' which included Rick's injured hand and Carol finally showing the Alexandrians her true bad-assery.
But first and foremost, is Glenn really dead?
Scott M. Gimple laughed before saying, "I'm not going to answer it."
However, when asked on whether the scene was deliberately filmed to give people hope that Glenn would survive the scenario, the 'Walking Dead' executive producer had an interesting response.
"It was shot the way it was shot and it was edited the way it was edited and that is always deliberate," Gimple said. "I spend a lot of time on these cuts, so take that as you will."
In addition to that, Scott M. Gimple also admitted that Glenn's fate will be revealed before the mid-season finale.
"It'll be in the first half of the season," he said. "And there are only five episodes left."
Fans don't need to fret so much, since the EP had good news about Rick's hand, which could possibly get infected but will not bring the end of Andrew Lincoln's slightly unhinged leader.
"I'm going to go out on a limb here and say something definitive: Rick is OK regarding that cut," Gimple said. "His hand will survive. There will be a bandage. There will be some ointment involved. But he's going to walk away from it."
Meanwhile, Carol (Melissa McBride) will need to deal with being discovered to be a more dangerous person than everyone in Alexandria thought she really is.
"It's going to be hard for Carol. She likes being invisible," Gimple revealed. "What she had to do at the end of the episode, it weighed on her. When Morgan said, 'You don't like it,' it's kind of like the thing she didn't want to hear, the thing that she was ignoring all of this time [amid] all the killing. And then hearing it and feeling it, it's weighing on her. And seeing all of these people potentially being grateful towards her is going to be difficult."
'The Walking Dead' airs on AMC every Sunday nights.
