Lauren Cohan “felt like throwing up” when Maggie starts to trust Negan.

If you’re Walking Dead actress Lauren Cohan, it could make you sick.

“You saved him at Riverbend,” Maggie tells Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

“Whatever else happens, and whatever else has happened, I will never forget that.”

This evolution of her character isn’t exactly something Cohan is excited about.

“It felt like throwing up,” Cohan tellsEntertainment Weeklyabout her reaction to this development.

“It just came at a time when I had to leave.

I was not willing to let anybody come with me.

And I knew the only place I could leave Hershel was with them.”

Cohan continued with how much she hated it but understands to a degree why Maggie did what she did.

“I absolutely hated it.

‘She’ being Maggie.

And right now you’re the best person for it.'

And, you know, he’s not going to be alone with him.

I feel like I’m just justifying all these reasons, but it is true.

So yeah, it’s huge, that moment.”

“It really is just about this moment,” she explained.

I don’t think it’s ever going to happen, but she needs his help at that moment.

It’s the best option she’s got, and there it is."
