THE WALKING DEAD's Norman Reedus claims he's been asked who died in the show's season six cliffhanger finale "probably a zillion times" since it aired.

Commenting on the fan outrage from plot points that went unrevealed in the finale, Reedus said, "The fact that people are still talking is a huge compliment to how that episode was executed and the acting in it and the writing of it. That's a good thing. Talk sometimes is good. I know we all have phones and everything is instant gratification now. I get it. I like that too. I like the controversy, to be honest. For that many people to be that invested in that show and freaking out, I think it's great."

Executive producers Scott M. Gimple and Robert Kirkman have stated that they know they need to provide a satisfying conclusion when the show returns in October, after leaving fans with these cliffhangers for half a year. Reedus is not concerned about this. "They're earning it," says Reedus. "Trust me. I think probably the planet is going to explode."
