In Walking Dead spinoff, Steven Yeun's Glenn is never forgotten— and neither is Negan's crime, says Lauren Cohan
Nearly a decade after Negan bludgeoned Glenn to death with Lucille in front of his pregnant wife, Maggie, the moment remains one of the most brutal and searing in The Walking Dead franchise's history, a scene so viscerally cruel that it reshaped how fans view every subsequent interaction between the two characters.

Nearly a decade after Negan brutally killed Glenn in The Walking Dead, the moment still haunts fans. When The Walking Dead: Dead City introduced a softer side to Maggie and Negan, fans were shocked. Speculation has been rife about the show potentially hinting at romantic feelings between the two, which many fans find offensive. Maggie's actress, Lauren Cohan, explains that this isn't the case.
In the season 3 finale, Maggie gets a choice to let Negan die or kill him. Cohan, in an interview with PEOPLE, clarifies that Maggie doesn't forgive Negan for Glenn's murder, but rather, she's tired of carrying that hatred. She sees the toll of resentment on herself and her family, comparing it to a self-inflicted wound. Killing Negan, according to Cohan, would have hardened Maggie further, turning her into someone unrecognizable.
Instead, she sees this as a chance for Maggie to be kind again, showing her softer side in a world full of violence. Despite Maggie and Negan's evolving relationship, the fans are still uncomfortable with it.
