With Walking Dead Season 6 release date confirmed for this fall, potential spoilers continue to surface. Naturally, many of these hints are based on hearsay or fan expectation. Even though speculation is fun, all information regarding the sixth season should be taken with a grain of salt.
Fans have long been clamoring to see the start of a Rick and Michonne romance. Still, things are not as straightforward as they seem. Even the actress who plays Michonne is not so sure her character will have time for romance.
"The Richonne thing-we get it a lot," Danai Gurira said to EW on Wednesday. "They're friends, you know. And people want that. I love that folks want Michonne to get some. I always say that. I say to my boss, 'Michonne's a nun. She don't give none, she don't get none.'"
In the comics that inspired the TV show, Michonne actually falls for Morgan instead. So, it is tough to say what directions Walking Dead showrunners will take. Recently, Gurira pointed out that Morgan and Michonne's relationship is anything but intimate.
"When we think about the last time these two characters met... Michonne was weirded out. Michonne was like, 'Who is this guy? He's crazier than me and this is weird,'" Danai told Access Hollywood. "So she's kind of like... 'He's back in our lives and he does this weird thing to Rick.' So she's kind of like on this weird path with him... because she doesn't know who he is. What she remembers is not something safe or something comfortable."
