‘The Walking Dead’ Postmortem: Co-EP Denise Huth Talks Maggie’s Bravery and the ‘Satisfying’ Finale

Warning: This interview for the “Something They Need” episode of The Walking Dead contains spoilers. Exactly which players are on which side remains somewhat of a mystery, but the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead Season 7 continued to bring Rick Grimes’ group closer to its goal of not only avenging the crushing season premiere deaths of friends Glenn and Abraham, but of getting themselves out from under the control of barbed wire bat-toting baddie Negan, perhaps as soon as the Season 7 finale on April 2. TWD co-executive producer Denise Huth talked to Yahoo TV about the group’s journey to the finale — and maybe the beginning of the big showdown — including what Eugene is really up to, why Gregory continues to become more cowardly in the face of Maggie’s growing leadership, how Daryl was permanently changed by Glenn’s death, and the complicated Negan backstory.
