There has been a lot of attention focused on Andrew LincolnleavingThe Walking Deadin season 9.

He has been No.

1 on the call sheet since the very first frame of film was shot for the pilot episode.

Im so grateful that this has been my stomping ground for so long, said Cohan.

And my family here is never gone.

Unlike, Lincoln, however, Cohan is not necessarily saying goodbye to the show permanently.

As the star told us herself, Maggies story is open-ended.

Its always meant so much.

Im not even going to look at him while Im saying all this, said Cohan.

Because beforeWalking Dead, I had only done recurring roles in different shows.

And Cohans career and art will now continue hopefully on both ABCandAMC.
