THE Walking Dead’s Maggie Rhee made a triumphant comeback in this week’s long-awaited season 10 finale.
The former leader of The Hilltop, played by Lauren Cohan, returned in a blaze of glory, coming to the rescue of Father Gabriel (Seth Gillian) as The Whisperers attacked.
Her return comes after it was announced that The Walking Dead will come to an end in two years’ time – news that Cohan previously admitted was “bittersweet.”
Now she has revealed what she hopes will unfold for the AMC drama’s characters between now and 2022, in an interview with NME.
Naturally she was keen for a happy ending, particularly for the likes of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira).
“There’s so many ways it could go and maybe I just don’t really think it’s over, I can’t foresee the end!” she began.
“If we’re just dreaming, I would love to see Rick come back. That’s how I’d love it to end, I’d love to see him land in a helicopter and Michonne to be with him,” she went on.
Cohan liked the idea of the pair growing old together, having conquered the many threats of the zombie apocalypse.
“It would be really, really fun if we got to do a 40-year time jump,” she continued.
“You sort of peel back and start on a close-up of some very elderly hands and it takes a minute to figure out whose they are.”

She concluded: “Once you realise whose [hands] they are, where they are and where the world is now and what that means and who’s with her… maybe it’s her final days. Maybe she doesn’t die by a zombie? That’s an idea.”
While Maggie’s comeback was well received by fans, other aspects of the finale raised eyebrows.
Some were left frustrated as the mysterious ‘masked man’ who accompanied Maggie still wasn’t identified after months of speculation.
Meanwhile others were distracted by the arrival of The Commonwealth’s soldiers, who many compared to Star Wars’ stormtroopers with their black and white armour.
The Walking Dead season 10 will continue with its six-episode extension in 2021 on AMC in the US and FOX in the UK.
Fear the Walking Dead will return later this year on AMC in the US and on AMC UK in the UK.
