The return of Lucille! Walking Dead fans shocked
Remember when Negan used to swing the barbed-wire bat that was in his wife’s name? Hey listen, the real Lucille is back in Walking Dead: Dead City, and fans can’t stop talking about it!
Surprise Family Reunion
On last night’s episode, Jeffrey Dean Morgan got a chance to act with his real wife, Hilary Burton.
She appeared as Lucille, Negan’s deceased wife, in a hallucination scene when Negan was hit on the head.
Morgan did not hide his excitement in the conversation with PEOPLE: “We were looking for a way to bring him back to the show since he first came.
I always wanted him to come back. “
‘How did this happen?
The Walking Dead showrunners don’t make random cameos.
The reunion was carefully planned by showrunner Eli Zorn, who finally found the perfect opportunity to bring Burton back.
This scene is heart touching. Negan feels that he has let everyone down, only then Lucille appears with love in her eyes. “I wake up every morning.
You used to bathe me, “she says, looking at him with a gaze that only a loved one can give.
Behind Negan’s Tough Guy Act
For those who have been following the story of the Walking Dead, this little moment explains why Negan is… Negan.
“For my character to be around him does a lot,” Morgan explained. “You can see why Negan is Negan. “
We first saw Burton as Lucille in the season 10 finale, which showed how Negan tried to save her while fighting her cancer during the end of the world.
What it means for Dead City
This emotional moment seems to be setting up something big for the finale of Walking Dead: Dead City.
After seeing Lucille, something changes in Negan, and he suddenly decides to find a ventilator for Genie.
The season ends next Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC. Based on this episode, we’re definitely going to be on an emotional rollercoaster as this chapter of the Walking Dead universe comes to an end.
