Sonequa Martin-Green on "The Walking Dead" Season 6's Heart-Wrenching Return, Negan's Arrival3 of 9
What was your reaction when you read Abraham's flirtation with Sasha? Did you see that coming? And do you see a future for them, even with Rosita (Christian Serratos) in the picture?
I was quite surprised by it, but I really do think it's very compelling. Abraham and Sasha, you know, they almost have parallel experiences. As Sasha, I've had the PTSD experience. He's obviously had the PTSD experience from being a soldier and also losing the family the way he did. So, we have that in common. Of course he still has a soldier's mindset. I like to think I have somewhat of a soldier's mindset as Sasha. So, we have that in common as well. And so I think it's very interesting.
Of course, Rosita being in the picture is very complicated. Relationships are always complicated. Friendships are always complicated. And I just think that it makes for a really good story, however it plays out, because that's the nature of it. Just because things are not as do-or-die as they used to be at one point.
Of course, the "stuff" has hit the fan at this point: We're either going to fight or we're going to fall in Alexandria, and also where Daryl and Abraham are. But we're not out on the road. We're not in the woods. We have found a sanctuary. So, it allows you to think not just about things associated with survival. You're actually able to think of yourself, think of your desires, think of the things you want, your hopes, your dreams. These types of things are starting to come back into our consciousness. And when we do that, things like this happen. So, I think it's really interesting.
