Maggie dropped the big pregnancy reveal this week.
When didyoufind out about that twist and what was your reaction?
LAUREN COHAN:I had a sneaky suspicion it was going to happen, but not from any clues.
We really get no clues.
I just felt that maybe there was the desire to go down that road for Maggie and Glenn.
And he goes I think.
And then, yep!
Obviously, having a child in a world like this is no small decision.
So how is Maggie handling the news in your eyes?
It just feels right!
Thats all I can say.
It just feels right that theyre having a baby.
You would have been zombie meat within 20 yards.
It was so silly.
Thats part of what coming to terms with pregnancy is for her too.
This season were going to see her limitations.
It isnt whom she is to not go and try.
And its appropriate to me that its her and Aaron that go.
Theres definitely a kindred spirit there with those two.
Hes going through a similar trajectory with the blame and the guilt.
Shes not to be stopped, until shes stopped.
Yeah, thats what I love about this show.
You just have slices, but theres a whole world going on around it.
There are neighbors in my building I havent met in five years.
What was filming that like in that water and with those gross sewer zombies?
It was really disgusting.
Our feet were so waterlogged by the end of the episode.
[Laughs]
It was really disgusting.
Yeah, you might definitely see some of that.
It looked positively revolting.
Yeah, the walls were slimy.
That job I was thinking of taking in the sewage department?
Im not going to take it anymore.
Is this the seed of hope being planted here?
Yeah, I think shes really challenged.
Shes the most challenged weve seen her.
Shes letting herself break a bit.
She wouldnt be Maggie if she just said, Well, hes not here so he must be dead.
This is the hardest time yet on the show.
People are grieving, and to me its not a television show anymore.
And I know what happens because I read it!
So to be completely honest, its just heinous.
I cant even go on social media.
Hes my buddy Steve!
Its very hard to speak about because its so ambiguous.
There were little girls at the convention and they had Glenn lives on their cheeks.
You know whats so interesting is that I am friendly with my postman, Reggie.
And then he watched it and he said he hasnt been able to go back to his television set.
So basically, what youre saying is that no mail is getting delivered by Reggie.
Yeah, no mail has been delivered since the Glenn incident.
But its the mother of all seasons.
It only gets more intense from here.
