Yahoo奇摩新聞 'You owe me child support': How 'The Walking Dead' cast says they'd react if they knew Rick Grimes was alive
Insider asked "TWD" stars how they'd react if they knew their former leader, Rick Grimes, was alive.
Norman Reedus, who plays fan-favorite Daryl, said he'd punch him in the face.
Meanwhile, Melissa McBride said her character Carol would "be ecstatic."

Melissa McBride had the most normal response of everyone we spoke with.
"I think Carol will be ecstatic," McBride, who has played Carol since season one, said. "I can't speak for everyone, but I think everyone would be just incredibly ecstatic about him."
"Hopefully, he's OK, wherever he is," McBride added, a bit coyly.

From Insider's previous conversation with "TWD" universe chief Scott Gimple, we know Rick is somewhere with the CRM. Is he OK? We don't know for certain, but, as McBride said, hopefully.
Norman Reedus says Daryl would likely punch Rick right away for what he put him through.
Reedus had a much more playful response.
"I think Daryl should see Rick and first punch him in the face, before he says anything, just for putting him through that, all those tears, punch him in the face," Reedus told Insider recently.
"And then he should say, 'It looks like you've gained weight,'" Reedus said.
When the bridge explosion occurred on Rick's final episode, the usually hardened Daryl broke down and sobbed. It's a particularly tough moment to watch without getting emotional yourself.
When they couldn't find Rick's body, Daryl spent years by himself in the woods searching for any sign of his remains.
When Insider pointed out that Uncle Daryl has also been raising Rick's children, R.J. and Judith, alongside Michonne and everyone else in Alexandria, Reedus added, "Yeah, You, owe me child support."
Josh McDermitt would love to be choked out by Rick.
"I think Eugene's reaction might be like, 'Oh, really? Now you're back? We were doing fine without [you]," McDermitt told Insider via Zoom of how Eugene may react.
"I actually hadn't thought about that," he added. "In my mind, Rick's gone. Eugene will never see him again."
When hearing Reedus' response, McDermitt, later in our conversation, came up with the ultimate scenario if Rick did return.
"Maybe Rick comes back, says, 'What's up with your hair? and take scissors to [Eugene's] hair," McDermitt said. "Daryl punches Rick, [saying], 'Hey, you owe child support.' Then, Eugene's like, 'No, he just cut my hair, let me get a piece of that.'"
That does not go well for Eugene.
"Then Rick chokes [Eugene] out," McDermitt said. "That is honestly the one thing I wish I had on the show, getting choked out by Andrew Lincoln. I've watched him do it. I've watched him kill several people on the show, in different scenes by choking them. I just go, 'Man, that looks like fun.' To get choked out by Andrew Lincoln would be pretty incredible."
Will Rick appear on the final season? If so, showrunner Angela Kang is keeping that to herself.
When asked if there's a chance that we could see returning cast members like Rick or Michonne return to close out the show, Kang said, "As I'm kind of saying to anybody who asks questions in this realm, I can't really get into it because there's a whole universe involved, but I always appreciate that there's interest out there."
