The season six finale of "The Walking Dead" has kept fans guessing these past few days. The final episode saw the debut of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's villainous Negan, who wasted no time in selecting a main cast member to die at the end of his wire-covered baseball bat. Unfortunately, we still don't know who met their grisly fate, as the death was shown from the victim's point of view.
During an appearance on
The Today Show, Norman Reedus revealed he knows who lost their life to Lucille, but he isn't telling. Reedus also addressed some of the fan backlash regarding the show opting to end on a cliffhanger.
"Cliffhangers have been happening since the beginning of entertainment, so they makes sense. I know what happens and it's gut-wrenching to me," he shared. When asked point-blank if Daryl died, he said,
"I can't tell you that!"
Reedus was also able to elaborate on his castmates' reactions to the scripted death, saying,
"Josh [McDermitt] threw his script, Andy [Lincoln] was late to work because he couldn't sleep all night, Lauren [Cohan] broke out into tears. We had crew members crying while we were filming. It was heavy." "That finale was about the change of power," he added.
"I think sometimes people think our show is survivor island... and 'Who's gonna eat it this week?' but it's not, and that episode was to show the change of power. Rick goes into that episode real confident and he comes out of it just completely broken."
