Which Cast Member Of The Walking Dead Asked To Leave With Frank Darabont?

Thought that the only drama on The Walking Dead set was in front of the camera? Think again. It turns out that there's plenty behind the camera too. There were previously reports of behind-the-scenes friction when Frank Darabont was ousted by AMC, but TV Line now report that a member of the cast was so upset by the way in which the series creator was treated, they asked to be released from their contract. Who was it? That they don't reveal.

Eventually, this request was granted by the network but there's a slight twist in the tale. It seems that same cast member changed their mind and now wishes to stay on as a part of the ensemble. However, it may be too late as there's talk from one insider that they may ultimately get their wish and be written out of the show. How this will affect the show and in which direction this will result in The Walking Dead differing from the Robert Kirkman penned comic book series is unknown.
