Saying Goodbye to Glenn
The Walking Deadcast and crew consider themselves a family.
Whatever the reason, they do seem to care deeply for one another and have no problem showing it.
Lauren Cohan on Steven Yeun
“Steven brought me on to the show.
Gene Page/AMC
He’s the first person that I hung out with.
I also remember that year we went on Fourth of July to watch the fireworks and the sky opened.
Oh my god, it was pouring rain!
Gene Page/AMC
It was like college.
It was our first big hangout.
You know what Steven is?
Gene Page/AMC
He’s ride or die: You know he has your back.
Everything that we see in Glenn is what Steven brings to him, and that’s that steady heart.
I’m so excited for him knowing he’s going on to do amazing things.
Gene Page/AMC
He’s the most professional gentleman and the silliest, funniest goof ever.
And Steven’s still alive!
So that’s good.”
Gene Page/AMC; Jordin Althaus/AMC
He’s also one of my dearest friends in life.
And the prospect of him not being here, it’s left a huge hole in the show.
The prospect of returning next year is bleaker because of his absence.
Gene Page/AMC
His departure was seismic.
And we all felt it.
He is one of the founding fathers of this show.
His fingerprints are on every part of it.
It’s his humor I’ll miss most of all.
He’s just got this knack of saying exactly the right thing at the wrong time.
It’s absolutely beautiful, and I’ll miss all of it.
Norman Reedus on Steven Yeun
“He is one of my best friends.
I was with him when he proposed to his wife.
He’s been on this run with me since before I even started on the show.
It’s the last thing in the world I ever wanted to happen.
I cry with them.
I fight with them.
We built this friendship since day one, just like Daryl and Glenn did.
I f—ing love Steven.”
It’s really tough not having him around."
I always say, ‘Glenn.’
There’s something so relatable about him, and Steven is the ultimate perfectionist.
He always feels that he can do better even though he’s amazing.
He always wants to refine.
He always wants to better himself as an actor and as a performer.
Just run with it.'
So Steven and I rewrote the scene and it was one of the best scenes of the episode.
He’s one in a million, man.
The energy that he brings to set, his attitude everything about him is A-level."
