| Glenn Rhee played by Stephen Yuen will be back, but in what form? |
THE FATE of Glenn Rhee is driving fans of The Walking Dead crazy. Is good guy Glenn who has never killed a living human being, who has transformed from a pizza-delivery guy to action hero, dead or alive?
You know what they say about nice guys.
The producers and writers are clearly playing with the audience's emotions for the last two weeks since we saw everybody's favorite Asian/American survivor of the zombie apocalypse fall off a dumpster into a horde of zombies. The last scene of Glenn screaming and zombies ripping out intestines is ... uh ... gut-wrenching keeps playing over and over in our minds.

Last week as we tuned in a special 90-minute episode expecting to find an answer, we get an episode about Morgan's backstory and his "Yoda." Most aggravating, though, acute observers noted that the credits for the the actor Stephen Yuen, who plays Glenn, were left out!
Last week, the producers stirred up more questions when they felt it necessary to issue a note to viewers of Talking Dead, the show dedicated to the Walking Dead goings-on, reassuring fans that we had not seen the last of Glenn.
So much angst and speculation has been put forth by fan and TV reviewers, the producers and probably laughing and rubbing their hands with glee with all the interest being generated.
"I think it's fun to allow people to speculate on it. There will be some resolution to the debate. I can't wait for that moment because it'll be very intriguing," said executive producer Greg Nicotero. Yeah, right! Nicotero probably tortured his pets when he was a kid.

Here's a new promo about tonight's episode:
Is tonight's episode (Nov. 8) going to provide an answer? I wouldn't be surprised if the creators keep the audience guessing as long a they can.
UPDATE (Nov. 9): As expected, the Nov. 8 episode of The Walking Dead didn't provide any answers. The producers have left us hanging again and again, we'll probably tune in next week to see if Glenn is alive. In case you need reminding, here is that infamous scene:
