Fans theorised that Glenn may have held Nicholas’ corpse over him as the Walkers feasted and is actually still alive, but showrunner Scott M. Gimple saying that we’ll likely only see Glenn again through flashback didn’t exactly help this.
Worse still for Glenn fans, Steven Yeun’s name is no longer part of the open titles, suggesting his time with the show is over.
Executive producer David Alpert refused to confirm his death to Variety, though coyly said: “We will find out what happened to Glenn… I feel like, regardless of what happened to Glenn, he paid a tremendous price for having been human to Nicholas, and that, to me, from an emotional point-of-view — whether or not Glenn is alive or dead or something else — the Glenn that we knew, the one that believed in the better side of humanity, I think is dead.”
