Here you go: *warning spoilers for The Walking Dead*
Lauren Cohan's character, Maggie Rhee, has been a staple on The Walking Dead for almost a decade, but in 2018, AMC had to make the difficult decision to either concede to the actress' contract demands or give her character the ax. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Cohan admitted that she was surprised by her negotiations, which made her think that maybe it was time to make an exit. "I took that, how baffled I was, and thought, 'Okay, well that's a sign. This is maybe just not a fit anymore,'" she told EW. "To feel like we weren't lining up in so many ways I just thought, 'Okay, well, maybe that means something.'"
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cohan started actively looking for new roles during this time and was "getting offers left and right." Ultimately, she ended up walking from The Walking Dead, but the decision to let her go was a big departure from the comic books upon which the series is based, reported Forbes. Breaking rank with the books is not unheard of but certainly unorthodox. — the series previously departed from the comic with the death of Carl Rhimes (Chandler Riggs). However, just like the living corpses on the show, Cohan's character could return in the future.

Not that the current characters are bad, but I liked the continuity and history of having elders on the show that were from the start. They could do a lot with that, and what they have done has made the show worse than Fear The Walking Dead which I started to like more ... except that the last season was a bit flat. Morgan really shines, and I like Al(thea), Maggie Grace. She is awesome.
