Maggie Rhee will be back for season 9 of The Walking Dead and fans are thrilled. Here are some of the best reactions to the news that Lauren Cohan will appear in season 9.

The Walking Dead season 9 starts filming very soon and until now the fate of Maggie Greene Rhee was up in the air. There was a contract dispute between Lauren Cohan and the show and when Lauren signed onto a new ABC pilot it looked like she may not return for season 9 of The Walking Dead.

But Lauren announced recently that she is returning to The Walking Dead in season 9. That’s a huge relief for fans, and a very good thing for the show. The season 8 finale teased a pretty big story arc for Maggie in season 9.

Maggie is still set on exacting revenge against Negan for Glenn’s death and that could put her in direct conflict with Rick, who spared Negan’s life in the season 8 finale. Maggie is now the leader at The Hilltop and fans are anxious to see her take on that bigger leadership role. They are also anxious to see Baby Rhee and get some closure about Glenn’s death by seeing his child thriving at The Hilltop with Maggie.

Season 9 of TWD starts filming in just days and fans have been wondering what Maggie’s fate would be. They were overjoyed to hear that Lauren Cohan will be returning to the show and expressed their feelings about it on Twitter:

Even though Maggie isn’t one of the Atlanta Originals she’s just about an original and the show would definitely not have been the same without her. Now that she is officially back on board for season 9 fans are even more excited to see where The Walking Dead story goes after All Out War.
