| Q&A Lauren Cohan (Maggie Greene) Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie Greene on AMC’s The Walking Dead, talks about some traits from Maggie she’s taken on and her dog’s love for walkers.Q: After last season’s finale, what were you hoping for your character this season?
A: I was mostly just hoping to see how all the characters fared from that and came out on the other side. How we were coping with whether or not the Governor was still a threat. What I was most looking forward to, which has really materialized, is a lot more character study, and we’ve definitely come into that this season. Q: What did you know about Maggie’s story arc going into this season? A: I knew that we would have the possibility of a pregnancy and I knew that Maggie’s M.O. this year would be, “Live, don’t just survive.” There’s apprehension about whether or not she could have a baby, but I think she definitely would. Even in today’s society, I don’t think anybody is ever ready for a baby – but that doesn’t make it the wrong choice when you have it. Q: Were you pleased that Maggie and Glenn’s relationship is back to a better place this season? A: Yeah, definitely. I think it’s important to see people crack and then see which way they go. If something goes bad and you come back from it, then it’s like OK, you really mean it. And it’s been good to portray that kind of relationship and explore that kind of hope in this world. Q: I’m told you have a habit of bringing your dog on-set a lot. How does he react to the sight of walkers? |
