‘The Walking Dead’ Cast Are Sharing the Love on Social Media After “Honor”
*This post contains spoilers from season 8 of The Walking Dead. *
A lot has changed on The Walking Dead over the years, but one thing that has always remained the same is the idea that the cast and crew, and even the fans, are all one big family. They’re all extremely close on and off the set, so when a character meets their untimely death on the show, it’s the people who they worked with every day that truly feel the loss of their departure. This rings overwhelmingly true when it comes to the show’s latest death of Carl Grimes. For eight years we’ve all watched as Carl grew from a boy to a man and the cast and crew watched as Chandler Riggs did the same.
Before, during, and after Carl’s final episode some of our favorite cast members took to social media to say their goodbyes to the character and the wonderful man that played him. Check them out below!
Norman Reedus
Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
