Seth Gilliam Details His Jadis-Centric Return To The Walking Dead Universe
Screen Rant : It felt a little hoodlum that Gabriel was in this show in a way that had nothing to do with Rick and Michonne , and everything to do with Jadis . I be intimate it . How did you experience about that being your “ in ” back into this world ?
Seth Gilliam : I was excited by it . I was excited by it , because I loved working with Pollyanna McIntosh on The Walking Dead , and I think the metre I get to work with her was too brief .

That stir me about doing it . And quite frankly , I was flatter that he would think of bringing the character back in that room .
I lie with the way that Gabriel ’s interaction with Jadis was show . One of the first thing he says is , " Are we back ? " as in the two of them . Then , every time you see her , another class has passed . How is it to pass over how feeling vary over clock time in that way ?
Seth Gilliam : I got the look that between those two characters , though time pass on , there is no lapse in clock time . It ’s kind of like when you know somebody or you are so drawn to somebody that you watch them and study them , and you see yourself being watch over and studied in return . Whenever you run into them , there ’s almost an “ I see you , you see me , we see each other , ” kind of relationship . Though they were start through very uttermost thing during that clip , they get back together again , and time was never a factor .
