Norman Reedus, Emily Kinney on Midseason Finale; TheWrap Celebrates Morgan’s Return
This week, Norman Reedus and Emily Kinney discuss the midseason finale, while TheWrap and Entertainment Weekly are excited by the reappearance of Morgan. Plus, The Washington Post, TV Guide Magazine and Vox applaud The Walking Dead. Read on for more:
• Entertainment Weekly asks Norman Reedus about the rest of Season 5 and he says, “You see us in a very different circumstance and it becomes very desperate. And there’s a false level of security that really messes with everyone.”
• Emily Kinney, interviewed by TVLine, says that Beth “started to become fearless, like, ‘I could die at any moment! Whatever!’ She would rather be the person she wants to be, strong and fighting for herself, then play the game. She didn’t have anything to lose.” Kinney also talks to Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly, The Wall Street Journal, Access Hollywood and The Daily Beast.
• Morgan returns in the midseason finale, and TheWrap notes, “Despite only a few appearances, Lennie James remains one of the most enduring and popular guest stars” on the show. Entertainment Weekly highlights Morgan’s reappearance too, calling it “a welcome surprise.”

The Walking Dead Q&A – Seth Gilliam (Gabriel Stokes)
Seth Gilliam, who plays Gabriel Stokes on AMC’s The Walking Dead, talks about killing his first walker on set and Andrew Lincoln‘s superhuman commitment to the show.
Q: You actually didn’t know you were reading for the part of Father Gabriel during your audition. When were you told who you would be playing? Did you have any guesses beforehand?
A: I didn’t have any guesses beforehand. I was told about a week before I came down to start shooting. I started with a blank slate. I didn’t know anything about the character and just went off of what was on the page.
Q: Have you found any similarities between you and your character as you get to know him?
A: With every character that you play, you try to find what [characteristics] like you are in them and hopefully there’s a little something to use. I think there are some qualities in Father Gabriel that we share, but I imagine he exorcised those before all of the wonderful walkers came along.
Q: When we first meet Gabriel, it’s clear he isn’t fit for fighting off a walker. How do you think you’d fare against one?

Norman Reedus Previews Midseason Finale to THR; Chad Coleman Takes EW Pop Culture Test
This week, Norman Reedus previews the midseason finale to The Hollywood Reporter, while Chad L. Coleman takes Entertainment Weekly‘s Pop Culture Personality Test. Plus, Gale Anne Hurd talks to IGN. Read on for more:
• Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Norman Reedus likens the midseason finale to “the difference between a really hard rock Led Zeppelin song and a really soft one. There are those two opposites that get blended in before the midseason ends.”
• Chad L. Coleman takes Entertainment Weekly‘s Pop Culture Personality Test and reveals that Shrek is the movie that scared him even though it wasn’t supposed to.
• IGN asks Gale Anne Hurd about Sasha being duped by the police prisoner and she says that he “really knew how to play her like a violin, because if you find that someone does have compassion and wants to do the right thing, that makes that person vulnerable.”

The Walking Dead Q&A – Josh McDermitt (Eugene)
Josh McDermitt, who plays Eugene on AMC’s The Walking Dead, talks about embracing his mullet and keeping his character’s secret.
Q: Tara calls Eugene’s mullet a “source of power.” Has it become a part of you?
A: It has absolutely become a part of me, not just Eugene. I feel naked without it at this point. They’ve let my hair grow out so it kind of looks like I have a baby mullet. I can’t get away from Eugene.
Q: Eugene’s no good at killing walkers. How would you fare during a zombie apocalypse? Could you take care of yourself?
A: I would like to think that I would be an epic bad ass – someone like Daryl or Abraham – but I actually feel I would be worse than Eugene. A lot of people have this perception of how they would be in certain situations because they would never experience those situations. I’m slowly coming to the realization that I would just be the biggest pussy in the world.
Q: Eugene tells the others he’s smarter than everyone and a good liar. If you were to choose two attributes to describe yourself, which would they be?
