The Walking Dead: The love between Rick and Michonne
By Adam Carlson
The development of a romantic relationship between Rick Grimes an Michonne on The Walking Dead surprised some, but it was bound to happen eventually.
When Rick and Michonne kissed during season 6 of The Walking Dead, fans all around the world went wild. Any time that two popular characters get together on AMC’s zombie survival drama, people love it, but when it’s two characters are major as Rick and Michonne, people truly lose their minds.

But this wasn’t something that AMC just threw together. The relationship between these two characters has been brewing for several seasons, all the way back to the prison when they earned the respect of each other.
Over time, their relationship grew and began involving Carl, Judith, and others close to Rick. This slow burn on the relationship made the payoff of the big kiss during season 6 even sweeter.
On The Walking Dead: The Complete Sixth Season DVD and Blu-Ray set, there will be a special feature devoted to the blooming love between these two characters, looking all the way back to how they met and how the relationship came to be.
Here is that video featuring the actors who play Rick and Michonne (Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira) thanks to Anchor Bay on YouTube:
Of course, fans of the hit comic book series know that this isn’t how the source material has these two characters interacting. In the pages of the graphic novel, Rick and Andrea are a couple and Michonne goes on to have several relationships with notable characters in the series, including Tyreese, Morgan, and Ezekiel.
But these changes from the comics have helped to keep things fresh and unpredictable in the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead and make fans cheer like crazy when these two fan favorite characters got together.
