The Walking Dead over their treatment of Norman Reedus.Earlier this week, it was announced Melissa McBride would no longer be involved in the planned spin-off featuring Daryl and Carol. In a statement from AMC, McBride is said to have dropped out because filming in Europe this summer was “logistically untenable” for the actor.After the announcement, some fans believed Reedus, who plays Daryl, was connected to her departure. In response, Morgan, who plays Negan in the series, criticised fans on Twitter on Friday (April 29) over the claims.“Some of you have gone WAY too far,” Morgan wrote.
“TOXIC. Attacking norm for crap he has NOTHING to do with? Melissa made a call that was hers alone. She wants/needs a break.
Respect that.“Factors involved that are nobody’s business. Norm, who’s given more than anyone to you all. Just SHITTY.”Some of you have gone WAY too far.

Just SHITTY.— Jeffrey Dean Morgan (@JDMorgan) April 29, 2022Norman had nothing to do with picking location. That decision is all about story, ideas… MONEY. That’s studio/network.
Not actors. We can say yes and do, or no, and not do… MAYBE. SOMETIMES.
If we’re lucky and don’t have contract yet.
