"The Walking Dead" Season 7 aired its midseason finale on Sunday night and left fans with more questions than answers.
Following the episode, showrunner Scott Gimple spoke with TV Line to answer some of the biggest questions from the installment. For instance, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) endured Gregory's (Xander Berkeley) attitude so it was a bit confusing for fans to know that Maggie did not even consider staging a coup against Gregory.
Gimple explained that Maggie did not do so because she feels that she is not meant to do such a job. Since Maggie is being given tons of new responsibilities, she is left with no other choice but to be careful with her deeds. She is not interested in staging a coup because she is positive Gregory would eventually come around.
Even though Gregory has not really been good to Maggie, she is a positive and hopeful person who does not want anything bad to happen to her peers. "And in this world, if you are alive, there is still hope for you. Once you are a walker, not so much," he said.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel (Travis Love) continued to check up with Carol (Melissa McBride) in the episode, and there are speculations that he could be interested in her romantically. Gimple explained that the two will not necessarily be linked to each other romantically. Instead, they have so much respect for each other.
In other news, "The Walking Dead" is expected to return with a few more episodes in Season 7. Talking about the fate of the show, Gimple said that there will continue to be a war against everybody vs. the Saviors. "I would not say one way or the other, but we will definitely see aspects of some stories from the all-out war story. The finale is just a huge swath of tones and worlds and characters and moments," he said.
"The Walking Dead" Season 7 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.
