During a recent interview with Howard Stern, Morgan revealed that the Walking Deadcast finished filming on Season 7 last week, and anyone hoping that Negan will get his comeuppance for killing Glenn and Abraham (and countless other victims) at the end of this season should probably adjust their expectations now.

That's bad news for Andrew Lincoln, who plays hero Rick Grimes, since Morgan also told Stern that he's been having just as much fun torturing his co-star as Negan has enjoyed toying with Rick this season.

"He's very much in character all the time which I particularly have fun with because, you know, Negan is under Rick's skin so now Jeff, in turn, is underneath Andy's skin, hugely," Morgan chuckled. "I really pick on him. I think the bigger reaction I can get off camera from him, if I can get him just screaming and swearing then I know I'm doing my job."

The Walking Deadairs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
