       Andrew Lincoln says Negan is "Horrific"

       When The Walking Dead return next month, change is coming. The
       first eight episodes of the sixth season have been building to
       an explosion and that explosion is imminent.
       The second half of the season will be “drastically different
       from the first episodes,” Andrew Lincoln tells TVInsider,
       although he admits, “Episode 9 is almost a chapter finish.” It’s
       likely to be the “chapter finish” viewers wanted in the
       midseason finale back in 2015.  Beyond that, “the next seven
       episodes are this crazy race to a new world order,” he says.
       Not only will we meet Tom Payne’s portrayal of fan-favorite
       character from the comics, Jesus, when the show returns but
       eventually we’ll see Rick Grimes cross paths with the sinister
       leader of the Saviors, Negan. Lincoln is putting the pressure on
       Jeffrey Dean Morgan to nail the role, saying, “This is probably
       one of the most important castings other than Rick. He’s a
       beloved fan-favorite, but also a huge foil to Rick and his
       family. Everybody needs a good baddie, and this is the one that
       a lot of people have been waiting for for quite some time.”
       Though viewers have already been terrified by a big bad in David
       Morrisey’s Governor, Lincoln promises the two are very different
       and makes Negan sound a lot more of a handful. “The Governor was
       magnificent and David did a beautiful job playing him but Negan
       is horrific,” Lincoln says. “He is this incredible tyrant and
       this very charismatic, funny, brutal beyond words sociopath. I’m
       interested in the relationship between Negan and Carl and Carl
       and Rick. There’s a very complicated, extraordinary psychology
       between those characters. I’m just thrilled that we are getting
       to a place where it feels very deep, dark, thrilling and
       dangerous.”
       The path to Negan begins when The Walking Dead returns on
       February 14 at 9 PM ET on AMC.
