‘The Walking Dead’: This was the alternate ending of the last episode, which was taped

Warning, SPOILERS!

The longest zombie apocalypse in television history ended on Monday, November 21st.. After more than twelve years and eleven seasons since Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) awoke from his coma, ‘The Walking Dead’ has concluded with the chapter titled ‘RIP.’ During its finale, fans of the series were able to enjoy the return of Lincoln and Danai Gurira in their roles of Rick and Michonne, who are getting their own spinoff next year. However, As reported by Insider, the original ending would have had an extra scene that ended up being deleted, despite even being filmed.

In this deleted scene, the AMC series would jump more than a decade into the future to show us a moving pickup truck. This would run on the same highway on the outskirts of Atlanta that Rick rode his horse down in the first episode of the title.. In front of the van we would find two young people around 20 years old. During the course of the scene, we would notice that they they are RJ (also called Rick Grimes) and Judith, but in its more adult version, both sons of Rich and Michonne. Also, Coco and Gracie would also be in the back.

And it doesn’t stop there, adult RJ would walk over to the radio to say: “If you hear me, answer. I’m Rick Grimes”. To which a survivor would reply: “…Hello?”. Thus remembering his father’s line at the beginning of it all and continuing his legacy. The ending would have been emotionally perfect, but it was at odds with AMC’s overall construction of the “Walking Dead” universe. According to sources, this scene may have been cut because there was no point in introducing new versions of characters that we don’t know yet.

The existence of this scene was practically confirmed by Angela Kang. The showrunner of the title assured this in an interview with Decider “he wrote a completely different final scene”. Emphasizing that the last scene of the series didn’t really match the final moment they had in mind.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan broke both feet on set

On the other hand, in an interview with Insider, the actor who brings Negan to life (who will also have his own spin-off with ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’) revealed that he broke both his feet while filming the final season. “I think, honestly, I don’t have good shoes. And I only had to jump a couple of times. It started out as nothing, a small fracture. And then it got worse. My heel bones will no longer be at peace. They were going to operate on me between the series and the new spin-off.”says Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

“I was about three months old and I went to Spain to make an announcement. I had a hernia. So in the end I had to have surgery and I already said: “fuck it. My foot will have to survive”adds the 56-year-old actor. It should be remembered that this was not Morgan’s only injury while filming ‘The Walking Dead’, Lincoln has already broken his nose while taping a fight corresponding to season eight.
