maggie greene, portrayed by lauren cohan, is hershel's daughter and beth's elder half-sister. she scavenges supplies from the local town. when she meets glenn, they first form a sexual relationship and soon fall in love and marry in the prison. over the course of time both go through hard tests which makes glenn a pillar, a sustenance in the life of maggie for her moral balance. she also forms a strong bond of friendship with sasha. during the arrival at alexandria, maggie reveals that she is pregnant with glenn. after the introduction of paul rovio, aka jesus, maggie is part of an advance group that visits hilltop and attempts to form an alliance with their leader, gregory. however, gregory is arrogant, determined not to relinquish his position of power (or even to admit he can use help), and rebuffs maggie disrespectfully. as the war with negan and the saviors intensifies, gregory sees no choice but to join forces with negan. maggie by this time has made hilltop her home. she has become a widow, with glenn being bludgeoned to death by negan. from that point, her dual focus is to safely deliver the baby and to avenge glenn's death. she assumes a leadership role at hilltop; gregory hates her and continually tries to undermine her. rick comes close to killing negan in the final battle but chooses to honor carl's memory by imprisoning negan for life. maggie protests this loudly. she and daryl (who also suffered at negan's hands) agree that negan should not be allowed to live, but they wait and watch for a good opportunity. meanwhile, maggie is still attempting to lead hilltop as best she can. one final betrayal by gregory is one too many. maggie decides to make an example of gregory (and eliminate his trouble-making once and for all), by hanging him. she soon sees repeated attempts by the saviors to sabotage and undermine rick's work; she decides the time has come to kill negan. however, she visits him in prison and sees that he is broken and no longer the tyrannical terrorist who killed glenn. she returns to hilltop, then during the time jump in season 9, she goes with georgie to work on the growth of the communities.

glenn's fake death in the third episode, "thank you", was a major source of controversy. "the hollywood reporter" heavily criticized the decision of the writers to create the story line. daniel fienberg felt apathetic about the decision and said, "i'm not sure i care about [...] the way his death would impact the ensemble. if he's dead, the loss will be felt most by maggie, but maggie just had her sister die a few episodes ago, so there's no variation anymore to making lauren cohan wail, no matter how entirely convincingly she does it. to me, "the walking dead" has lost whatever core of human relationships it ever had, and whether glenn lives or dies, it just feels mechanical now." tim goodman expressed shock over the concept of glenn potentially being alive saying, "i honestly don't think showrunner scott m. gimple is dumb enough to fake this death somehow, not with how implausible it would be for glenn to survive it." "the hollywood reporter" later declared that the show had "lost its credibility" when glenn was revealed to be alive in the seventh episode, "heads up." scott gimple responded to the controversy surrounding this. he said, "we've had instances of people in a very emotional state — tyreese jumping into the middle of a large herd and fighting his way out; a man cut off his own hand and fights his way through a department store full of walkers. these things are part of the world. glenn had the bad luck of being knocked off that dumpster by nicholas, ending his own life but [glenn] had the good luck of nicholas landing on him. there's a lot of very specific facts about it that i think a lot of people have sort of gotten wrong. but breaking it down shot for shot … i think we're past that point. i don't think this is any sort of new instance that broke the rules of our show at all. i think it's very much in line with everything we've done before. i don't think there's a credibility issue." erik kain for "forbes" felt that the decision ruined glenn's storyline. he declared season 6 "a mixed bag" and was frustrated with the decision to hold off glenn's fate for 3 episodes. he said, "...the showrunners spent "three more episodes" essentially refusing to move the plot forward. we got one good backstory, and then two episodes where almost nothing happened to anyone we cared about. we learned that maggie was pregnant and that's about all." when speaking of the confirmation of glenn being alive, kain felt the decision was "implausible" from the inconsistency of his fall and camera angle tricks. he also felt the decision to "[drag] it out for weeks" had "effectively [killed] off all the tension [...] at the end of episode 3." brian moylan of "the guardian" was also critical, saying: "glenn is alive, and "the walking dead" will never be the same... it would rather kill off a main character than pull a lame switcheroo. until now."
