Welp Ms Cohan is now tied to a pilot for ABC

http://deadline.com/2018/02/lauren-...urn-the-walking-dead-amc-season-9-1202296481/

From the synopsis it sounds like a dud waiting to happen. I calls them as I sees them

If in fact she does choose to leave TWD I am a-okay with them replacing her with another actress and continuing on with the character of Maggie. From where I sit the character, in this instance, is more compelling than the actress. Changing gears might be bumpy in the beginning but I think would be less bumpy than writing off the character somehow.

Time will tell I suppose - will she or wont she. Will the pilot even get picked up to series.

 

Of course I do not want to see her go but would like to see her story come to a believable conclusion rather than, oh I dont know, come back to season 9 episode 1 and out of nowhere she died giving birth or something. I would rather they replace her with another actress than go down that road or something similar.

And yeah, Carol would be a good alternative. Hell, even Daryl - maybe that would make his character interesting once again

 

and for her sake of all I do hope that LC and AMC can reach an agreement before the ink dries too much on that contract.

IF the pilot were picked up for a season it sounds like a show that is basically going to be a stale re-hash of Castle or Bones and without the likes of Nathan Fillion or David Boreanz I just do not see it having a big enough draw to keep it going

 

I agree....I want to see Maggie's story move forward. Thing is, I am not "married" to LC being the one who has to play Maggie. I do think that another actress could pick up the ball and run with it. And yes, there would be a bit of time to adjust to the new face but I think it could be done.

 

SHITE read it twice?.......I had to TYPE it twice!!!

If grunter gunderson (aka Darlina) is going to remain on the show at least make him something akin to "watchable"



Pssssssst, over here @PepperAnn @Jen7 .........

 

Although the sitcom, The Good Place (NBC), with Ted Danson and Kristin Bell is actually funny AND clever. I am not a week by week watcher of the show but I will catch up with it from time to time on Hulu

 

It is the rare instance that we disagree in regard to the show but I am going for the record here and taking the opposite stance on both points.

I do think there is a very good chance that LC will not be returning to TWD. Just a gut thing since I know nothing about the ins and outs of actors / PTB negotiations. Maybe I am just psyching myself up for the worst case scenario. The ol' hope for the best but expect the worst adage

As I stated prior, I am of the opinion that a replacement actress would be better than shutting down the character of Maggie all together. Someone has to lead Hilltop and it needs to be someone that has proven their worth to the people of Hilltop considering their experience with leadership is solely based on the puppet reign of Gregory.

They (Hilltoppers) do not know Carol, they really do not know Daryl for the matter. So that leaves us with Enid (too young), Jesus (has already stated he is not a leader) or continuing on with Gregory (that would be a horrible decision)

I suppose another extreme possibility could be Cyndie (from Oceanside) although no one knows her with the exception of the few hours Tara spent with her. Too extreme, too far fetched.

I guess we will begin to have answers trickling in around May. And even those initial weeks of May into June filming might be somewhat misleading if LC is only returning to film an episode or two to explain away her absence from the remaining season 9 episodes.

I swear the real world battles revolving around TWD are more drama filled than All Out War story arc!!

 

Running with your preference of an established character taking over Hilltop leadership I implement the what if game.

What if Jesus does go through a transformation and takes over as leader? - would you rather see him lead with his current "give peace a chance" view or the execute Dean now and worry about it later Maggie stance? Either extreme does not a good, effective leader make. Personally, and I think this goes without saying but say it I will, having Jesus as leader and thereby garnering a larger role in the series would be A-OK with me BUT only if they are somehow able to write his character as being somewhere in the middle of the two mentioned ideologies. And written in a manner that the switch in his beliefs is believable and still true to his character albeit an evolving character. I think that would be the only character I could see taking over as leader if those steps of transformation and growth are included as part of his new found role of leader.

And.....IF that were to happen who would be his right hand person (since he was seemingly becoming that for Maggie)? Enid? Aaron? OR possibly Tara?

 

I could get on board with this......why dont you make a few phone calls and see what you can make happen - with the exception of Father Gabe, you lost me on that one
