I hated that Andrew was never nominated for an Emmy during his run on TWD. It was hard to continue the show without its best leading man. He was really the perfect leading man for that show portraying a good man burdened with leadership. I hope him and Danai will get better recognition for their spin-off next year, but I'm just glad that he's back as Rick Grimes for one more final round.

@@Gabrielle-zx8vj I use an app on my phone to download from yesmovies.to, and then I stream that to my Xbox One. The app is called "Video Downloader" from "MobiDevApps". You can get it in the Play Store, and it should have a red emblem with an arrow pointing down. It's important that you get that specific app, because it blocks ad ups. The others don't, so they keep opening an ad while closing the web page, so you can't download that way. I think this should also work on a PS4 or a smart TV. I have a smart TV myself, but it's not the best, so it doesn't work for mine. Works perfectly on my Xbox though. Hope I was able to help :)

“My relationship with Mr.Grimes is far from over” and “I don’t know if I can put him down yet” HE CONFIRMED THE MOVIE

[@flamingmonkey7712]

There are many actors, actress and singers I love, but I've never been crazy for any of them, until I heard that Andrew Lincoln was going to leave the show. He is the show for F sake, Rick is The Walking Dead itself. I love all characters in the show, but this show has been all about Rick, without him it's just meaningless. And Andrew has made this character a fckin legend! I've never watched the comics, with all due respect, american comics isn't really my thing, so the only Rick I know, is Andrew. Obviously I've been spoiled, so when I finally started to watch season 9, I've been thinking about all the time that how the hell are those people going to make it without Rick seeing those groups having all the problems and hatreds. I've always thought being crazy for an actor/actress is stupid, actually I still do. But I'd be stupid for once, just for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Please get back after you've done filming the whatever-it-is-movie, the audience needs you, and those people in the world of TWD need you!

After looking back on this, you can really tell how much he was trying to talk around the fate of his character as to not spoil whether Rick dies or not, because I'm sure at the time he knew that they had the Rick movies in mind but couldn't say anything until the following year. Obviously in 2022, we now know we're getting a show instead. Can't wait to finish these last 11C episodes and see the future of the universe!
