Jeffrey Dean Morgan is opening up about the ending of The Walking Dead and why he took “issue” with the way his character Negan’s story was wrapped up.

The 57-year-old actor joined the cast of the AMC series in season six as Negan and remained on the show through the 11th and final season.

Jeffrey appeared on Kelly Ripa‘s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast for SiriusXM this week and was asked, “If you could choose an ending for Negan, what would it be?”

“That he would just walk off into the sunset. You know, I don’t know that he would’ve gotten married again and they had Negan get married at the end of the Walking Dead,” he said.

Jeffrey continued, “We never saw the story of how he met this person and why he would’ve married her, which always kind of bummed me out because I think he was so in love with his wife Lucille, and it had made such a production out of the whole Lucille of it all. Having him show up with a wife without telling the story of why and how was always like a problem, an issue I had. But, you know, that’s what happens when you’re doing a show with 30 main characters. You’re not able to service each character as well as you may want to. And I think now with Dead City, we’ll get some answers.”
