'The Walking Dead': Jeffrey Dean Morgan pays homage to Chandler Riggs

WARNING! SPOILERS

Whilst it might not have been as dramatic as that of Glenn, Carl's (Chandler Riggs) death was certainly a sad moment on 'The Walking Dead'. Whilst we already knew the moment was coming, we still weren't prepared. TWD returned following its mid-season hiatus just this week, and following the events of the first episode, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) has paid homage to the actor behind Carl Grimes.

Whilst he hasn't been on the show long, Morgan has shown he's nothing like his character with a most heartfelt farewell to Chandler Riggs on Instagram.

SPOILER (for the six people that are somehow in the dark... and get news from Instagram?) @chandlerriggs5 man.... what a pleasure. Not only getting to work with you... but, getting to know you. You, my friend, are an incredible young man. Well before joining this cast I was a fan... a fan that loved watching you grow up in front of a camera. From the moment you first put on the way too large sheriffs hat as a boy... to the end, the hat so befitting of the man Carl had become. Wiser and more compassionate than all of us. You held all of our hearts. Honestly... a huge reason I wanted so badly to join this band of misfits... was because I was such a fan of the Negan Carl relationship in the comics... that storyline was one of my favorites, as I know it was one of yours. I'll forever be dissaponted we only scratched the surface of what could have been. BUT... I can take total solace in the fact that you are out there... doing your thing. You've grown into an amazing young man as well as a powerful actor... the world is your oyster Riggs. We all get to sit back and watch you kill it. So.. know you are missed on the show... but know you have a big ole group of family all here for you if needed... and eagerly awaiting whatever comes next. Love you Riggs. See you soon.

Negan's revenge

The sneak-peek for episode 10 of season 8 shows that Negan is pretty keen on revenge, and that he'll do anything to get Hilltop and the Kingdom back under his control: "Those piss-stain double-crossers may have pulled a triple-cross but it doesn't change the fact that they are still a resource...take one out and the rest will fall in line".
