NO BABY BUMP ON ‘DEAD’:
“WHERE’S MAGGIE’S baby bump?” is the new “Who shot J.R.?”
Thirty-eight years after the famous “Dallas” whodunit, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” has ignited a whereisit? As in, proof of a bun in the oven. “Is Maggie ever going to look pregnant? #reallybotheringme #TheWalkingDead,” tweeted @malihoy.
Fair question — one that’s asked a lot on social media, and by any fan of the show who’s been keeping track.
Maggie (Lauren Cohan) revealed she was carrying a child in Season 6 in a episode that aired Nov. 8, 2015.
Now it’s 28 months later — in real time. Season 8 wraps April 15. Still no bump.
But as Cohan and other cast memb ers have explained , time moves slowly during a zombie apocalypse.
An entire season of “Walking Dead” can span just a few weeks.
A rep for the show, which is based on a comic book series, told the Daily News: “The comic has never specified exact time and the show does not either.”
Then again, fans demand continuity — even from a show that’s about zombies and not a documentary.
The sticking point: Main character Rick’s young daughter Judith is growing, unlike Maggie’s belly.
“Judith was a baby at the end of last season, now she looks like a preschooler! It indicates time going by for Judith, but not Maggie,” tweeted @rainspromise. What’s up with that? “That would be dissecting time,” said the series rep, “and not something the show has done.”
So the mystery of the pregnant pause continues. Here’s something we do know: Kristin, J.R.’s sister-in-law and mistress, shot him.
“The Walking Dead” airs Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC.
