The announcement that Grimes would return in a series of original films was met more receptively by a different writer for Vanity Fair, who referred to the choice as " ingenious".Lincoln and Grimes' departure from the show was reacted to negatively by Vanity Fair, who criticised the fact that his long-advertised death had not occurred and that the episode had ended on a cliffhanger, referring to it as "equal parts infuriating and unsurprising," and referred to his being saved at the end as "both cowardly and manipulative", and comparing it to the treatment of Glenn Rhee, Beth Greene, and Sophia.Grimes' departure was originally planned on occurring at the end of the eighth season, but was pushed back to allow for closure. As early as the sixth season some had grown weary of the character, with a writer for Slate suggesting that Rick be moved out of the spotlight to allow focus on Michonne Hawthorne and for her to take his place as the leader.Grimes was portrayed by English actor Andrew Lincoln.Six years later, Hawthorne would later recover Grimes' boots and an iPhone with an engraving of herself and her daughter Judith on Bloodsworth Island, and she would realise that Grimes had survived the explosion as a result. Grimes was shortly after recovered by the Civic Republic Military, who took him away in a helicopter. Grimes was injured after being thrown off his horse onto exposed rebar, and spent several hours in a semi-delirious state while avoiding the undead hordes, before finally sacrificing himself by blowing up the bridge, taking himself and the walkers with it. A skirmish between the remaining Saviors and Oceanside brought the attention of a herd of walkers. Grimes and the coalition would later attempt to rebuild a bridge that had been washed away, using partial Savior labour. Grimes ordered that Negan be kept alive and imprisoned for life to prove their society was better than his, and so that he could be punished for his many crimes. The four vassal states united in full-scale war against the Saviors, wiping them out and capturing Negan, ending his reign over Virginia. He however pushed Grimes too far, and Grimes began courting the support of neighbouring communities the Kingdom, Hilltop, and Oceanside.
Negan assumed control of Alexandria by forcing Grimes to pay homage to him. The community was noticed by a larger group named the Saviors, run by the dictatorial Negan. They managed to fend off attacks from both a scavenger group called the Wolves and a massive herd of walkers. Rick's group were granted sanctuary in the Alexandria Safe-Zone, where he gradually assumed power. Rick's group later reunited and routed Terminus, a community of cannibals. This led to Grimes viciously murdering most of the Claimers personally. Grimes and his son Carl reunited with Daryl Dixon and Michonne Hawthorne when they encountered the Claimers, who attempted to rape both Hawthorne and Carl. Clashes and differences of opinion led to two wars between the communities, which resulted in the destruction of Woodbury and the prison, forcing Rick's group to scatter and attempt to regroup further north. During this time, Rick suffered from hallucinations of his wife, who had died during a walker assault on the prison. The group took up residence in the deserted West Georgia Correctional Facility, from which they made contact with the residents of Woodbury, a fortified community commanded by the Governor. At the same time, Grimes was forced to kill Walsh to save his own life. Grimes' group took up residence at the farm of Hershel Greene, but were eventually forced to leave after it was overrun by a herd of walkers. The group traveled to the Center for Disease Control, and barely escaped its destruction. There he encountered a band who took him in, where he reunited with his wife Lori and son Carl, as well as old friend and fellow former sheriff's deputy Shane Walsh. After meeting with fellow survivor Morgan Jones, Grimes decided to head for Atlanta in the hopes of finding more survivors. Following the zombie apocalypse he became the leader of a band of survivors and gradually grew into a benign dictator who struggled to rebuild society, while contending with rival factions who sought to destroy what he had built.Īfter taking a bullet in the line of duty, Grimes awoke from a coma to find King County overrun with the undead. Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes was an American police officer who worked for the King County Sheriff's Department. But get one thing straight: You’re staying, this isn’t a democracy anymore. Why don’t you go and find out yourself? Send me a postcard. I say there’s a place for us, but maybe it’s just another pipe dream. Maybe you people are better off without me.
