Unable to play video. The Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan has not been able to spend much time with her co-stars from the zombie series since leaving in the middle of Season Nine. She went on to become the star of ABC's Whiskey Cavalier but a return for Cohan as her Maggie Rhee character has been a long-running topic of conversation. ?I was just like, I?ve done this show for a long time,? Cohan said when explaining why she left The Walking Dead. ?It was a long time to play a character, and sometimes you just get quiet and listen to your inner guidance and it?s time to multitask.?
