Lauren Cohan's THE WALKING DEAD Future Remains In Doubt As The Actress Continues Shooting New Pilot
It appears as if Lauren Cohan is no closer to signing a new deal to return to The Walking Dead as her commitments to a new ABC pilot resulted in her missing a fan event this weekend as shooting continues.
It's been quite some time since we first told you about Lauren Cohan's battle with AMC to secure a pay rise which would put her on the same level as her The Walking Dead co-stars Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus and it's now clear that she's no closer to reaching a deal with the cable network.
Deadline notes that her fight for a pay increase - which has been supported by co-star Khary Payton (Ezekiel) after he posted a message on Instagram saying "Pay the woman" - is still very much ongoing and Cohan's commitments to ABC pilot Whiskey Cavalier resulted in her missing the Walker Stalker convention in London this weekend. That was reportedly due to a change in her schedule but you have to also imagine that she probably wanted to avoid questions about her future with the show.
As things currently stand, we have no idea whether or not Cohan will end up being part of The Walking Dead's ninth season but considering the fact her departure would hurt the show in a big way, it's hard to imagine AMC not coming to some sort of agreement with her sooner rather than later. Then again, if her new pilot takes off, it could be that Cohan decides that her future is now brighter elsewhere.
