Fans went on to say they felt "The Walking Dead died with Glenn" as they were so heartbroken when his character died.

Another fan said: "They should have kept him. I miss him so much."

He said: "I was just kind of saying I don't want to go back to young Glenn. Not only could I not do that physically, I don't look like the kid I started as.

"But also mentally, that character was just such in a different place that for me to go back there, I think it would be not good for anyone."

Despite his reluctance to reprise the role, fans are still calling for him to return in some form or another.

One said: "I would like to see Steven Yeun in the Walking Dead Universe again whether thru the AMC movies or series - whether as Glenn or even as a new character. He brought so much to the

Glenn character - it was truly a loss to the show when his character was killed off [sic]."
