Yahoo News Walking Dead star teases Maggie's "path of vengeance"
The Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan has teased her character Maggie's arc in the back half of season eight, suggesting that she "continues down the path of vengeance".
In the midseason finale, Maggie shot dead a Savior in cold blood in retaliation for Simon (one of Negan's lieutenants) killing one of her own Hilltop people.
That action will definitely impact the character in meaningful ways when the AMC show returns in February.

"She continues down this path of vengeance after Negan that I feel like the audience is on," Cohan tells Entertainment Weekly.
"I really feel like Maggie gets to vocalise the anger towards that enemy in this, and it gets very much more specific as we go on.
"That definitely, in some strokes, came as a surprise to me because we had this sort of subdued-seeming feeling for her, and it was like, 'Wow, is it really going to be okay? Am I recovering? Am I becoming just this leader who can handle all this and put the past behind her?' Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and that's life, I guess."
Cohan added of the execution: "She's thinking about Hershel and Glenn and where she's come from and what she now needs to do and how she now needs to suit up. I don't think she regrets doing it, but she does feel it."
The Walking Dead is due to return for the second half of its eighth season on Sunday, February 25 in the US on AMC and on Monday, February 26 in the UK on FOX UK.
