If Andrea or Jessie had lived Do you think Richonne would have still happen? I'm sorry its not a caryl question I'm just curious about your opinions on Richonne, Jessie and Andrea.
Ooh a Richonne-like question. I like Richonne!
Hmm 🤔 kinda hard question. Very what if ..AU. So first of all we're talking tv versions and not comic's.
Uh ok so if Andrea lived ... I think if we still had darabont showrunning we would had Rick and Andrea as a couple. He seems very set to the comic books. Mazara...killed her off at the last minute I think. I was upset with that. I didn't like Andrea that much but felt she deserve better. But Andrea being around in s4, I think it would really change the show under Gimple's direction. Idk about Rick/Andrea. It's also that Andrea died and her comic version plots were spread to Carol, Michonne and Sasha. But there's also a thing of writers could not have Andrea be so similar to comic Andrea later on. Idk I think it would be a really different show.
Also from Gimple's writing, he noticed and liked the idea of Richonne. Maybe it depends on if Gimple liked Richonne story potential and chemistry more or him wanting to go by the comics more. Whichever he wanted. Oh! imo I think it still would be Richonne to be canon. well I mean I would ship them, because Andrea had relationships with governor and Shane, who are like villians of the show and to Rick. It's unfortunately it like makes it hard to root for Andrea and Rick or even to predict that to happen based on what the writers did. Seems like it's not something to root for? for Rick a leading man to be with. Also s3 they were separated a lot while Richonne got to know each other and at the same place. Richonne were bonding and were interesting together.

So if Jessie had lived in s6. Its hard to think of it. She's very minor character to me. If she lived I think she would die later on. I think if she lived for another season, the Rick/Jessie plot would drag out and I think idk Gimple would really explore Rick being mentally unhealthy and rebounding n missing Lori. I think Richonne would still happen but become canon later on..or differently. I think Gimple always had in mind to want Richonne to be endgame.
