Lauren Cohan Promoted To A Series Regular On THE WALKING DEAD

Some major character deaths rocked this past season of AMC's The Walking Dead which has made room for Glen's Girlfriend Maggie, played by Lauren Cohan, to step up from guest role to series regular.

After the chaos that ensued during the second season finale on The Walking Dead we were left with a bunch of questions. One of those question is who will fill some of the series regular spots that were vacated by the likes of Jon Bernthal and Jeffrey DeMunn, who met their ultimate demise towards the end of the season. We all know that Michonne (Danai Gurira) and The Governor (David Morrissey) will play a factor in season three, but it looks like now Glen's girlfriend Maggie will play a bigger role as well. Tv Line is reporting that Lauren Cohan will be bumped up from guest to full fledged series regular. There has been no mention on how big her role will be or how she will be used during the show's third season though.

Season three of The Walking Dead is set to return some time this fall, and based on the foreshadowing from the second season finale we will be getting story lines that revolve around Michonne as well as the Prison and The Governor. Series Producer Robert Kirkman has said that the third season will consist of 16 episodes and like the second it will be broken up in to two sections with the show airing eight episodes, taking a hiatus, then airing the last eight episodes.

Is it wrong that I want to see her nekkid? :P

selinakyle - 4/10/2012, 8:46 AM

lmao @ Waylon.
I'm glad Maggie will be a series regular. I really hated her character on Supernatural.

CrowPirate1 - 4/10/2012, 8:48 AM

@WaylonJones... hahahahahaha

anyways.. this is good news.. she's good. now... start the countdown on Maggie's existing sister's death...

first episode of season three? no way she will last the full season.

Jolt17 - 4/10/2012, 9:09 AM

Well, at least she's my favorite female character of the series...she's still a bit boring, but at least a lot better than any other female characters of the series. (Lori, I'm looking at you.)

As long as Norman Reedus is still listed as one of the regulars, I won't complain much, though.

SotNatt - 4/10/2012, 9:10 AM

Congrats, Glen. Congrats.

Also, she's one of the more tolerable female characters on the Walking Dead (thus far), besides Andrea.

Lori is [frick]ing mind-boggling to me.

SotNatt - 4/10/2012, 9:14 AM

Also, fell in love with Lauren Cohan when she played Bella on Supernatural.

More than happy to see more of her on something else.

clogan - 4/10/2012, 9:14 AM

This story is lacking some sexy Cohan pictures.

spidermanfan2099 - 4/10/2012, 10:04 AM

She got naked in Van Wilder 2, bit of boob, lot of ass... good stuff!

Hopefully she'll get depressed and shock us with her rope tricks ;)

hunterelf - 4/10/2012, 10:13 AM

she's hot as hell in supernatural, not that much in walking dead

eleven59 - 4/10/2012, 10:45 AM

My favorite too

TheMyth - 4/10/2012, 11:43 AM

Waylon... lmao

Cohen is a wet dream come true. I'm so in lust!

DDD - 4/10/2012, 12:51 PM

Man, COHAN is as hot as a CHRISTMAS PEPPER!

Glad to see her become a regular!
Her character's relationship with GLEN is kinda
weird though.

I thought everybody knew she was BELLA on
the "DEAN BROTHERS SHOW"!

SELINAKYLE@, you were SUPPOSED to hate her
character on SUPERNATURAL....great actress
ain't she.

mob7medina - 4/10/2012, 4:52 PM

Cohen is hot!hell yeah she a has a great ass too!!=p

Bandrews1 - 4/11/2012, 7:24 AM

I figured she would have gotten promoted as a main character, I wonder if they're gonna do the same with the guy playing Hershel.
