Behind-the-scenes drama continues on the set of The Walking Dead, as a new report confirms that AMC executives have flown to the set in an attempt to calm down tension after the firing of showrunner Frank Darabont:
"AMC president Charlie Collier and head of original programming Joel Stillerman on Thursday flew to Atlanta for a one-day visit to the production offices of The Walking Dead, where they met with a cast and crew roiled by the abrupt firing of showrunner Frank Darabont.
The departure of Frank Darabont from The Walking Dead TV Series was shock, mainly because they were in the middle of filming the second season and there were no signs of this coming at the Comic-Con panel he attended a few days earlier.
From a recent story that provides new details, it looks like Frank Darabont didn't know he was leaving the show either during Comic-Con. Apparently AMC fired him with little warning, and despite reports, the cast and crew are having a difficult time adjusting.
