"The Walking Dead" star Chandler Riggs recounts how he found out he was finished on the show. #chandlerriggs #thewalkingdead #TWD #celebrityinterview 🔔 Subscribe for more: / @fanexpohq
Out of all the character deaths I think most people can agree that Carl being killed off was one of the worst decisions the show has made. From a story perspective it just makes no sense Carl should have been one of the last people still left standing when the show finally reaches it's conclusion.
I don't agree. Carl's death brought Rick back from the brink and gave him the motivation to spare Negan. In the comics, his motivation isn't all that clear. He goes from wanting to kill Negan to sparing his life. In the series, I thought that there needed to be an extreme event in order to explain why Rick shows mercy to his enemy and his promise to Carl gives him that. Why do you feel differently?
@@sanchez501 ??? Rick's motivation in the comic is clear. He goes from wanting to kill him to realizing, "hey, this isn't the way" and wanting to unify all communities, including the Saviors. He wanted to incarcerate Negan.
the producer didnt want to pay him as an adult so he end him 2 month after his 18 in a way nobody is ok with! This should be one of the reason why Andrew Lincoln (Rick) left too besides his family.
poor chandler, such a sad way to find out that's how a character you had been playing for nearly 10 years gets written off. even more unprofessional scott gimple didn't mention anything to chandler before he had bought his own house and gotten into college in georgia!
@@pasinduweerawardhana2168 Plus his death is the same in the source material. They’re literally following exactly what was happening there. I knew it was scripted by all means. It’s not like he dies in a alternative way.
Absolutely. That was the defining moment, not just for the main show but for TWD as a franchise. I was so into the show at the time that I intentionally looked up spoilers (from people that would sit in the trees and stuff where they shot the show), these guys were never wrong about a leak, but that? I didn’t believe it at all. I knew about it for like a week or two before the episode premiered, and genuinely thought that they finally got one wrong. That’s how insane of a decision it was. I then forced myself to finish s8 and then stopped watching. You could feel how slapped together at the last second it all was. Someone there suddenly realized Riggs was turning 18 so they forced nonsensically into the middle of the season. His actual last episode with the song and all, all felt so forced and so fake, you could just tell. That was the decision that let me know, oh they’re not trying to make the best show they can, they’re just trying to make money. It would be like if they killed Luke Skywalker at the beginning of episode 7 because the actor was turning 18 and they were just that greedy. At that point, do literally anything you can to not kill Carl. Get rid of loads of other characters, get rid of a few main characters if you “have” to. Killing off your main characters entire purpose for becoming and being who he is now is unbelievably stupid. And Carl had the most potential. He was the future of not just the show, but the franchise. Everything Rick and the group went through was witnessed and experienced by Carl. Imagine him carrying on after Rick, carrying the legacy of both Rick and the rest of what became his family. Him having those stories which to other people would seem like legends. Instead? Nah Carl got taken out by a couple of walkers that were stuck under a log, saving a new character that nobody cares about who will just be killed off an a season or two anyways. Good job writers Sorry for the length, I was a giant fan at one point. Still can’t believe it
Firing Chandler killed the show for me. It took away Rick’s primary motivation on the show. Yeah, I know, Shane’s kid, Judith, was still around, but we didn’t get to see her relationship with Rick develop like we did with him and Carl, so I had little invested in her character, it just wasn’t the same, no matter how much the writers wanted it to be. I watched half-heartedly for a while until Lincoln and Danai left and at that point, the main story was over and they should have just ended it then and there.
I hate the narrative that's been put out there that Chandler wanted to leave the show to go to college. So many people say they didn't like they killed off Carl but accepted because they thought that's what Chandler wanted. But nope he never wanted to leave the show and he made all these plans to remain on the show for another 3 years and they fired him out of nowhere. I just think he deserved more respect considering he had been on the show since the beginning and had spent 8 years of his life on the show.
I was never a fan of tv carl, but they did Chandler wrong. Nobody will admit it, but I guarantee it was because he turned 18 and they would have had to pay him adult wages.
@@wontdie_ so you think he wanted off the show to go to college? He had just bought a house in the area a month before he was "killed off" ...he wasn't planning on going anywhere. He was going to take his college courses remotely like he had done with the rest of his schooling.
@@wontdie_ Strange you bring up intellect while not making such smart statements yourself. If they didn`t want him to go to college, why kill him off without telling him about it? I figure since you have inside knowledge that nobody else has, you should be able to provide an answer to this question. Seems like nobody knew Carl was going to die except for Scott? Like OP responded to your comment, Chandler had just bought a house near the set? Why would he do that if he was going to college? I`m looking forward to hear what other inside knowledge you`ve got that nobody else has.
@@wontdie_ Man, you've got some serious issues to deal with, it must be hard to live your life. First and foremost, did you even watch the video you're commenting on? At 0:38 he literally asks around about why his script doesn't specify why Carl is acting strangely in this scene. I never stated I know their personal discussions, but Chandler literally tells us how it went down in this video lmao. Use some common sense to presume things? How does that make any sense? And I guess you would know that losing your role in a hugely successful tv-series is "no big deal". Also, you didn't answer my question so you don't actually have insider knowledge as you so confidently show? That's too bad. Spreading rumors and lies is no good. If your first reaction to someone challenging you is to insult them, then you need some help. Just let me know if you need someone to talk to, I'd gladly help you.
@ron4293 I don't know.. I think with the amount of money they made they could have paid him more. But what was unfortunate was like he said he just bought a house and surely he didn't keep that a secret so not telling him his character was getting killed off in advance is like a slap in the face. Especially a well established character since s1. I'm not completely done the series yet but now I'm finding it harder to get through since his unexpected demise.
That's sad to hear they kick him out like that... Unfair and senseless decision. Carl was a big part of Rick's story. Ffs, he fought for his future and at the end we should've seen grown Carl building a future for Judth and AJ. He is not even mentioned at the end I mean WTF?
They were far more courteous with how they treated Emily Kinney, who played Beth. They let her know ahead of time so she could sell her apartment and move.
Lol, that makes it even worse, didn’t know that was possible. Someone behind the scenes had the sudden realization Riggs was about to turn 18. The vampires pounced
Since carl is died i never never never watch the TWD ... i change to another series ... why you killed carl? Its really really hurt😭😭😭i love carl very much he is my inspiration 😘
Because carl was meant to be the future of the show.. he was meant to carry Rick's legacy... to be honest i lost interest in season 8 when his character was so inconsistently written.. but kept watching for the character.. and stopped watching after he died.. the show changed too much.. not invested in others characters anyway.. may be you didn't like that much.. many people did.. though i understand characters die in a show like this.. but he was meant to be the last man standing..
If I had to choose a way for Carl to have died. It would have been the pike scene. I'd have the flashback of him in the barn, get loose Rick grimes style, take a whisperer or two out which saves siddiq or maybe even Enid and then they manage to take Carl down and you can just see him mouthing run to siddiq and or Enid. Would have made a lot more sense and even better than what we got. Plus for the whole needing a reason to save negan, have it go down the same way but instead have Carl intervene between the two with some speech and then Rick decides to go with Carl's decision of a new world and cuts negans throat and rest would be history.
exactly amazing.. it blows my mind the kinds of decisions that writers make... and who picks these knobheads when a random person commenting on a youtube section has a 10x better idea
hell no the pike scene was heartbreaking and i’m still in shock about it, they did Henry so dirty for making him a big part. I wasn’t a fan of Enid but even i felt horrible seeing her head on a stake🙁 imagine killing off Carl like that…. no
@@tolgacam1907cause hes a corporate yes man, he Never pushes back against theyre stupid decisions. Why Daramont was illegally fired after 9 episodes but Gimples around for over 140.
I remember being annoyed at Carl between s2-s4. I stopped watching twd after negan was introduced. I don't know why i stopped watching it but i am getting back at it now. I am shocked to know Carl dies. Judging by the comments it seems he does become a fan favourite
The fact that they didn’t tell him BEFORE REHERSALS is actually crazy. Usually you’ll find things out like this beforehand and an exit is planned. They waited til the very last minute to tell him and that’s bogus asf
His arc in the comics was so good that I was sooo pissed when they took him out. Made no sense to kill him off cause Rick did everything to protect Carl and make the world liveable for Carl not for him. Rick should’ve died in season 8 or get taken by the garbage women and Carl be the one leading. Would make way more sense. Btw I meant corrrraaalllll
He was so professional about it everyone can be bummed but for not denouncing the show afterwards shows chandlers character as a person. That or it’s just NDAs
Can't imagine how disappointed and angry he was when he found out, I feel sorry for him... And also disappointing is that we never got to see grown Carl fighting for Judith's and RJ future...
I'm not against a character death. But they sure as hell handled that poorly as sh*t. Could have given him a damn heads up. Sure there's the spoiler/leak factor and all that. But atleast inform the man who is about to die on the show.

@@Captainmarex Gimples writing is how I feel about alot of TWD episodes. Sometimes it makes a masterpiece and sometimes it makes some of the worst choices I have seen on TV.
I have been watching The Walking Dead since day 1, it was the first year I willingly skipped Halloween but my whole family was so excited for this show. I’ve actually been the same age as Chandler throughout the series so Carl is one of my favs and I kinda would always picture me being him when I was younger sometimes. Them killing off his character honestly made no sense for me cause they ended up killing Siddiq anyways so what?
Not only where the writers assholes when it came to killing Carl off but the actor himself used real world money to buy a house so he can be closer to his job and they still killed him off and fired him 🤦♂️ No fuckin way
The show pretty much died alongside Carl. Even though we still have amazing characters like Rick, Daryl, Carol, Michonne etc. Carl was a crucial part to the show and should've definitely been one of the last characters left standing.
I hated it when Glenn was killed off, Beth, Abraham and then Carl. When Rick supposedly left. I stopped watching but tbh I still have season 11 to watch but these were some of my favorite actors.....
Keeping him on could have made for some really great storytelling what a huge missed opportunity I would have felt different about this if it was his decision to go but as we see it wasn't they did him dirty they did Us Dirty
Just know, only reason i kept watching till the end was because of daryl. I swear every time a masterpiece show is made, the directors become stingy and ruin the show. I hope he saved a lot of money kicking carl out, good job kirkman 🤡
I know this is 4 months old but it def was not Kirkman who fired riggs, He barley had any control of the show around this time.The man who deserve the "credit" is the showrunner at the time, Scott Gimple.
My Kirkman have no involvement after S8 cause him and a few EP sued amc for not being payed. Its also why Chandler was fired cause he was turning 18 and amc is cheap.
The worst thing that happened on TWD.....made no sense from a story standpoint. I realize that many times they strayed from the source material.....but, this was huge. And despite the things that were said at the time, I'm sure the way this was handled & how it affected 'Rick's' storyline impacted Andrew Lincoln's decision to leave the show. Both of those characters leaving the showing absolutely hurt the show, in my opinion. I watched to the end, but it wasn't the same.
Neither Glenn nor Carl should have been killed off. Glenn was one of the very first to start going through the walking dead with Rick. His death and Carl's made no sense and weakened the show.
These kids are so brainwashed to throw their money at colleges it's insane. He got a DORM ROOM??? Those things are expensive af and the size of a closet. Dude's worth $8 million and paying a school to stay in a fking closet. I'd be buying a house near campus lmao. Plus he rented his other house out to other cast members which was really smart and I bet you he actually is making profits off that house. Could have got into real estate or something before house prices soared, or just bought a few more houses to rent out, if he really wants to work that bad. Personally though I'd just kick back and enjoy being a millionaire for a while, or start looking at what I want to do next. Then when I figure it out, I'd learn it online. You can learn ANYTHING online. There's no need for college unless you want to be a doctor, or a few other professions where you really need that degree. Otherwise they have become a complete scam like everything else in this country.
Carl's death was important to change the show. Everybody knows that seasons 7 and 8 were the worst ones of the entire franchise. TWD was dying. Andrew wanted to be with his family and when Carl died he decided to go because for him that ended Rick's motivation and reasons to be on the story. And because of all that, producers and devs made better seasons and stories.
I disagree! Andrew was going to leave regardless, there was no need for Carl to leave for the quality of the show to increase. Carl should have been Rick's legacy and taken over as the show's lead
We must say the truth he was supposed to cary the show and be the main character ( like in comics ) but his acting is not that good ... He can't be the main character
Out of all the character deaths I think most people can agree that Carl being killed off was one of the worst decisions the show has made. From a story perspective it just makes no sense Carl should have been one of the last people still left standing when the show finally reaches it's conclusion.

They did him dirty. Made no sense to do that to Carl.
Writers should have rather kill Negan around Season 8 midseason finale, and give Carl Grimes a bigger role after Rick disappeared.

My Kirkman have no involvement after S8 cause him and a few EP sued amc for not being payed. Its also why Chandler was fired cause he was turning 18 and amc is cheap.
The worst thing that happened on TWD.....made no sense from a story standpoint. I realize that many times they strayed from the source material.....but, this was huge. And despite the things that were said at the time, I'm sure the way this was handled & how it affected 'Rick's' storyline impacted Andrew Lincoln's decision to leave the show. Both of those characters leaving the showing absolutely hurt the show, in my opinion. I watched to the end, but it wasn't the same.
Neither Glenn nor Carl should have been killed off. Glenn was one of the very first to start going through the walking dead with Rick. His death and Carl's made no sense and weakened the show.
Removing Glenns death is like removing Obi-Wans death, or Ned Starks, or Boromirs. You Destroy The Story.
imagine firing a character that canonically makes it to the end of the series because ur a brokie
Main reason I stopped watching... Carl should not of been killed off....
But he survived in the comics…. Why did they do that?! 😂 smh
Amc didnt want to pay him cause he was literally turning 18 the week of filming
These kids are so brainwashed to throw their money at colleges it's insane. He got a DORM ROOM??? Those things are expensive af and the size of a closet. Dude's worth $8 million and paying a school to stay in a fking closet. I'd be buying a house near campus lmao. Plus he rented his other house out to other cast members which was really smart and I bet you he actually is making profits off that house. Could have got into real estate or something before house prices soared, or just bought a few more houses to rent out, if he really wants to work that bad. Personally though I'd just kick back and enjoy being a millionaire for a while, or start looking at what I want to do next. Then when I figure it out, I'd learn it online. You can learn ANYTHING online. There's no need for college unless you want to be a doctor, or a few other professions where you really need that degree. Otherwise they have become a complete scam like everything else in this country.
Go off fella, go off
That what happens when some crappy starts to run the show
Carl's death was important to change the show. Everybody knows that seasons 7 and 8 were the worst ones of the entire franchise. TWD was dying. Andrew wanted to be with his family and when Carl died he decided to go because for him that ended Rick's motivation and reasons to be on the story. And because of all that, producers and devs made better seasons and stories.
Ha Good One
I disagree! Andrew was going to leave regardless, there was no need for Carl to leave for the quality of the show to increase. Carl should have been Rick's legacy and taken over as the show's lead
We must say the truth he was supposed to cary the show and be the main character ( like in comics ) but his acting is not that good ... He can't be the main character
Just you and Gimple
@@damonlongstreet8630 you think Chandler is a good actor that can lead twd ?
@@mirou1780 Absolutely, Gimple skipping All of his major character building moments didn't help.
@@damonlongstreet8630 I'm not talking about the character ... I'm talking about the actor
@@mirou1780 both matter, yes to both
