‘The Walking Dead’ season 6 spoilers: Danai Gurira on Rick – Michonne romance hopes

Is there a chance that we could see Rick and Michonne actually get together on “The Walking Dead” season 6? It is probably still too early to say definitively one way or another that something is going to happen, but we personally feel like it is possible.

For us, the biggest thing holding the two back is strictly a matter of whether Rick has the time or the emotions to give to a relationship like this. He is so much in “leader mode” that he cannot flip the switch easily, and reconcile everything that he has done to put in the work that a romance requires. We feel like it is somewhat easier with someone like Jessie at the moment for him, mostly because she doesn’t know him nearly as well and seem so many of his emotional highs and lows. This may also damage this particular relationship more in the long-run … if it even happens.

Obviously, Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln are very aware of the fan desires to see the two characters together. She even spoke about it at recently to Entertainment Weekly on their radio show:

“The Richonne thing—we get it a lot. They’re friends, you know. And people want that. I love that folks want Michonne to get some. I always say that. I say to my boss, ‘Michonne’s a nun. She don’t give none, she don’t get none.’”

If this ever changes for Michonne, the struggle will be implementing it without over-emphasizing it at the same exact time. The show wants to remain at its core about survival and about suspense, and not so much a love story.
