Maggie's been saved from exiting 'The Walking Dead', as Lauren Cohan has successfully negotiated a new contract with AMC.

For a few months now, rumours have been swirling around Lauren Cohan and her role as Maggie Greene in long-running AMC series 'The Walking Dead'. It had been confirmed by a number of outlets that the star was looking for more money as one of the show's leading characters, and with her contract at an end following her time filming season 8, she was open to negotiations.

The star's contract was up with the eighth season, but it looks like she'll be making a return if negotiations go well.

'The Walking Dead' is set to go through some big changes following season 8, with a new showrunner in the form of Angela Kang stepping in to work on season 9, and Scott Gimple moving to a more senior role. Following recent reports that revealed actress Lauren Cohan hadn't yet signed on for more episodes of the series following the season 8 finale, fans began to discuss whether Maggie Greene would be killed off in the back-end of the current batch of episodes.

Cohan has been a huge part of 'The Walking Dead' since her debut in season 2, eventually forming a relationship with the now-deceased Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) and falling pregnant with their child. To this day, Maggie is carrying the baby whilst leading The Hilltop and doing her all to protect not only herself, but those she's now responsible for.

Could Lauren Cohan Be Leaving 'The Walking Dead' After Season 8?

Lauren Cohan

The actress plays fan-favourite character Maggie in the long-running AMC series.

Lauren Cohan could be looking to shake up her career in television this year, after being offered a slew of broadcast pilots and still being yet to sign a new contract for her role as Maggie Greene in 'The Walking Dead'. Though she's a vital part of the long-running AMC zombie drama series being a success, and with Maggie still a leading character in the Robert Kirkman comic books on which the show is based, the television series could easily go in a completely different direction to the one we've read.

Image caption Lauren Cohan is a much sought after talent in the industry right now

If Maggie does leave the show, it's not something that AMC will have wanted. Cohan is said to have been negotiating for a salary closer to that of her male co-stars Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus, who take on the roles of Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon respectively, but the network weren't willing to put her on an exactly equal playing field due to their work schedule being a lot heavier for the series.

Lauren Cohan

The actress teases just how her character's leadership has snowballed.

For quite some time now, Maggie has been one of the most beloved characters in AMC zombie apocalypse series 'The Walking Dead'. We've seen her go through some hugely traumatic events, including witnessing the murder of her unborn baby's father in the season 7 premiere, and she's now shot right to the top of the ranks in the society she calls home - the Hilltop.

Lauren Cohan will return to 'The Walking Dead' as Maggie

Groomed for leadership by those closest to her, she's slotted into her role extremely well and will face a moment in the season 8 premiere that sees the loyalty of those at Hilltop tested, when they face a choice between her and their current official leader, Gregory.

All Eyez On Me - Trailer and Clips

In 1971, a star was born in the form of Tupac Amaru Shakur; a star who would go on to be one of the most influential faces in the history of hip hop. In 1991, the world exploded in admiration for this pioneering newcomer who brought mastery to the art of rap and appealed to a young generation of hip hop artists especially those who were black, impoverished and affected by gang culture. His themes of racism, police brutality and gritty realities of guns and violence on the street brought a daring truth to the table that few, if any, had tried before. His 1996 album for which this film is named was the most explorative of the latter and his crowning glory, but it came alongside his downfall. After a stretch in prison and a serious conflict with Death Row Records, he would meet his end in a drive-by shooting at the age of just 25.

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice Review

Good

After 2013's beefy Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder goes even bigger and darker with this sequel, cross-pollenating Clark Kent's story with flashbacks to the origins of Bruce Wayne and his Dark Knight alter-ego. The problem is that the film is so big and loud that it can't help but feel bloated, especially since so much of what's on screen feels rather vacuous. But it looks amazing and is relentlessly gripping.

After a Bat-origin prologue, the story kicks off with the climactic battle from Man of Steel as seen from the perspective of Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck), watching his city being destroyed by Superman (Henry Cavill). This further fuels the rage that began when his parents were murdered. And that fire is stoked by the mischievous millionaire Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). Meanwhile, Superman/Clark is struggling with how the world is revering him as a god, which is straining his relationship with intrepid reporter Lois (Amy Adams). As these very different vigilante heros head toward a climactic confrontation, Luthor is up to something seriously nefarious. And the ensuing chaos brings another hero into the open, Wonder Woman Diana Prince (Gal Gadot).

While the various plot threads are fascinating, and Snyder maintains a snappy pace, the overall story centres on the fact that Affleck's prickly, bitter Bruce is easily manipulated into doing terrible things, which makes him rather unlikeable. And Cavill's fundamentally good Clark isn't much easier to identify with. Both are also oddly constrained by their costumes and bulked-up physicalities, which leave them unable to move properly. This allows the side characters to steal the show: Adams adds emotion and passion, Eisenberg provides the nutty nastiness, Irons is hilariously cynical as Bruce's butler Alfred, and Fishburne is all bluster as Lois' editor. But in the end, the film belongs to the gorgeous, clear-headed Gadot, instantly making her stand-alone movie the most anticipated superhero project on the horizon.

The Boy Trailer

Greta is a young nanny who has moved over from America to a small town in England to take care of a couple's child while they're away. It initially looks like a wonderful opportunity; Greta has a large, chic country home all to herself and gets to spend time with the handsome grocery boy, Malcolm. However, it soon turns bizarre when the elderly couple - Mr. and Mrs. Heelshire - introduce her to their son Brahms who, in fact, is not a boy in the usual sense, but a life sized porcelain doll brought in 20 years previously following the death of their real son in a fire. The Heelshires provide Greta with a list of strict rules to follow in taking care of Brahms, including food and bedtime routines, but Greta can't see the importance of treating Brahms like a real boy and ignores them - much to her peril. It isn't long before she realises she's dealing with no ordinary doll.

What 'Indifference' Does It Make? 'The Walking Dead' Recap: Season Four, Episode Four

We waved goodbye to a central character in the latest edition of the AMC series, but we might not have seen the last of them

Over the course of the past three seasons, we've waved goodbye to a number of important Walking Dead characters in unforgiving circumstances, but on the latest episode of the zombie drama, titled 'Indifference,' there was a much more civil goodbye from one of the less civil individuals. Their deeds and eventual banishing from the prison commune inevitably took up most of the episode, as we also discovered a little more about the remaining cast. The rest of this article contains spoilers.


Season four is well under way now

When we first met Carol, she was a frightened, deer in the headlights-type of girl whose survival often came into question. By the time she was cast out of the prison by Rick, she had developed into someone numb to violence or fear, someone willing to do what was needed when faced with danger. We found out this week that she didn't give a second thought to murdering Karen or David, as she told Rick that she did what she believed was essential for the well-being of the rest of the community.
