Shocking plot twist involving Rick has ‘Walking Dead’ fans saying goodbye to Michonne – Yahoo Entertainment

One of the longest-running characters on The Walking Dead series bid goodbye Sunday night. It has long been planned that Sunday’s episode would be the final one for Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne.

The episode dropped a bit of a bombshell by implying that Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is still alive. Michonne found his boots and his phone while she was at Bloodsworth Island. After talking with her adoptive daughter, Judith (Cailey Fleming) she decided to go in search of Rick.

While this is, allegedly, Gurira’s last episode, the ending was extremely open-ended. The way the characters throughout this franchise have been known to intertwine, it would not be surprising to see a reprisal of her role at some point. That is, if Gurira isn’t busy with her Marvel movies and new HBO show, Americanah.

Fans of the long-running series flocked to twitter to celebrate Guirira’s final episode, and bid farewell to a beloved character.

She brought Rick back from a dark place
She was Carl’s best friend
She raised Judith as her own
She brought RJ into the world

She’s more than just a chick with a sword!

We love you Michonne Grimes💞 #TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com/OkTw4i0nuK

Thank you for being part of this crazy world we call #TheWalkingDead. For embracing the fans and celebrating the #TWDFamily. For bringing Michonne to life and for showing us what strength, leadership, and vulnerability looks like.
