SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you have already watched Sundays The Bridge episode ofThe Walking Dead.
Lets everyone give Aaron a hand.
Why did Aaron suffer this cruel fate?
Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
And what will it mean for the Alexandrian going forward?
We asked showrunner Angela Kang that as well as more burning questions from the episodes.
Where did that Anne and Gabriel relationship come from?
Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
And have we gotten our first hint at the Whisperers?
Read on for answers!
Like, for Rick, hes a man who thrives on a mission.
Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
But sometimes thats an ill-defined thing.
Like, he knows that theyve got to help the Sanctuary.
He knows that Alexandrias gotta be built up.
But all that stuff is going.
And so we see that he has latched onto this idea of rebuilding the bridge.
That becomes the mission.
So that was something that was interesting to us.
And then later in the season well see that Negan has conversations with other people as well.
We saw Carol putting on Ezekiels ring, but we also have Anne and Gabriel going at it.
That is a couple I never would have expected.
What can you say about them?
Shes not a person that trusts easily, she doesnt give her heart easily.
But Ezekiel is a breath of fresh air in her world.
Hes so different in terms of just the joy that hes able to find.
And shes had so much darkness.
They both have an odd perspective on life and strange senses of humor.
And we thought that was something that would be a draw.
But theyre also both very strong in their own ways, and theyve also been outsiders.
And theyve been outsiders that wronged people in the past, and they have guilt about that.
And I just think that the two actors had a lot of fun playing those scenes.
They play that chemistry very well.
Enid has to amputate the sucker.
[Laughs] Yeah, the visual effects team has done an amazing job with that arm.
When we first saw the shots come back, we all squirmed.
And Im not squeamish either, and we were all like, Ooh, its kind of awful.
Thats the hopeful thing that well see in the future for Aaron.
But its something that also sparks a lot of anger for Daryl.
Weve shown that has been a good friend with Aaron.
And Aaron has really helped him find his place in Alexandria.
What happens when someone loses a limb?
Do they get a call?
Do they see it in the script?
They dont care about looking pretty onscreen.
They want these characters to have depth and have interesting stories, so thats been wonderful.
We hear about all these Saviors that have disappeared, and then see Justin killed at the very end.
We know the Whisperers are coming this season.
This is kind of intriguing.And I think there are some twists and turns to that story.
