Although the return of AMC's hit zombie TV program, The Walking Dead, is still over a month away, that hasn't stopped its loyalists from trying to find out what the future holds for their favorite disbanded prison group members.

Both Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Beth (Emily Kinney) were clearly traumatized after watching their father Hershel (Scott Wilson) get his life taken at the hands of the Governor (David Morrissey) in the recent mid season finale.

Showrunner Scott Gimple had spoken to The Hollywood Reporter about the Greene sisters and the difficulties that lie ahead for them amid their recent losses.

"It defines both of them into who they become and it affects them very deeply in this next half-season and beyond. Hershel's death, the loss of the prison, civilization and everything they built up -- this has all been taken away from them, and they are moving into very unchartered emotional waters," he said.
