“Handful” Of Staffers Leave ‘Talking Dead’

Not everyone was happy with Chris Hardwick’s return to AMC’s “Talking Dead“, a wrap-up show that comes on after “The Walking Dead“. Hardwick, also known as the “Nerdist” was suspended by AMC pending an investigation into allegations of sexual and emotional abuse brought on by Hardwick’s ex-girlfriend Chole Dykstra in June. AMC completed their investigation and allowed Hardwick to return to the show in which privately he apologized to staffers at a meeting. While some felt his emotional gesture was genuine, 25 staffers as well as an executive producer, left the show. during his suspension, current and former staffers described how difficult it was to work with Hardwick who they’ve said was prone to angry outbursts and loud altercations with others. Though AMC felt that Hardwick could return to host “Talking Dead” and stand by their decision, clearly 26 people felt differently in which AMC has declined to comment at this time.

Yvette Nicole Brown Taking Over Walking Dead Panel At SDCC

Following accusations of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse against “Talking Dead” host Chris Hardwick, AMC has asked the fan’s favorite guest of the show and TWD expert Yvette Nicole Brown to take over hosting duties for the Comic-Con panel later this month. The 11:15 am to 1:15 pm “Walking Dead” and “Fear the Walking Dead” double panel is expected to include the hit show’s stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Jeffery Dean Morgan, Danai Gurira, and Melissa McBride, as well as “Fear the Walking Dead’s” Kim Dickens, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, Lennie James, and the two series’ executive producers Gale Anne Hurd, Angela Kang, and creator Robert Kirkman.

TWD And FTWD Worlds Will Soon Collide – Character Revealed This Sunday

Fans of ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ have been wondering what character will be featured in ‘The World’s Collide’ crossover since the event was first announced back in October. We reported back in November that Jenna Elfman would appear in the episode and that Garret Dillahunt has joined the cast of ‘Fear the Walking Dead’. But the question remains, who will be the character to bridge the series. Well, we’re about to find out. The character will be revealed on this Sunday’s episode of ‘Talking Dead’.

Walking Dead Producers File Suit Against AMC – Is This The Beginning Of The End ?

We all know that AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ is a HUGE success. And of course with success comes the desire for people to get what they believe they deserve. The executive producers of TWD have filed suit against AMC. Frank Darabont, the show’s creator, filed a lawsuit back in 2013 following his termination halfway through the second season. Darabont claims that AMC denied him profits promised from the series by the network. Now, the show might really be in trouble. Comic book creator and series co-creator Robert Kirkman along with executive producers Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, and Glen Mazzara have filed suit against AMC making similar claims as Darabont. The group are challenging the amount AMC pays its in-house studio, AMC Studios, THR reports. ‘The Walking Dead’ is not the only series that could be affected. Both ‘Fear the Walking Dead’, and ‘Talking Dead’ are also included in the suit. This case arises from a major entertainment conglomerate’s failure
