Norman Reedus says he "begged" longtime co-star Danai Gurira not to leave The Walking Dead in its coming tenth season.

"I've been begging her to stay since we started the season. She's such a strong character, and she's such a sweet lady, and she's fun to work with, and she's always on point," Reedus said of Gurira at San Diego Comic-Con.

"She shows up on set for a tiny scene with a notebook full of notes. She's a joy to be around. I'm gonna miss her as much as I miss Rick, to be honest. She's awesome."

Former showrunner Scott Gimple, who now oversees TWD Universe as chief content officer, promised Gurira and Michonne still have "amazing" things ahead.
