Dating and relationships aren't a big focus on "The Walking Dead" but TV Guide put together a list of "Should They or Shouldn't They?" couples and Rick Grimes and Michonne were on the list. As fans know Rick lost his wife Lori Grimes and Michonne also lost her lover at the beginning of the outbreak.
There have been rumors that her boyfriend was one of her original pets. We've never imagined a "Richonne" romance but TV Guide thinks it's a good idea writing: "Besides the fact that they're two of the few survivors left in the zombie apocalypse, Michonne and Rick have formed a bond over their strained survival and emotional instability. Plus: the TV show already killed off Andrea, who is Rick's love interest in the comics."
TV Guide offers an interesting perspective. This isn't the first time there has been rumors about the two starting a relationship. During Season 3, Danai Gurira (Michonne) hinted at a "Richonne" connection but not necessarily a romantic one.
"It's very clear that she has respect for Rick," she told TV Line. "Seeing the way Rick handles himself, handles his community, handles his son is something that she can respect."
She said the chatter about a romance between them was "fascinating" to hear but didn't see the romantic connection between her character and Andrew Lincoln's.
"[Rick] demanded that she not keep functioning in a way that was completely non-communicative and obscure, and she adjusted to that," she said. "And I think she actually felt that was probably good for her. So I think that's probably what fans are seeing."
"I don't know whatever else they see," she jokingly added. "They'd have to tell you."
Back in October, Lincoln actually hinted at a romance but was just kidding. The cast appeared on "Katie" and host Katie Couric asked Gurira about seeing a softer side of her character in the new season. After she answered Lincoln added "We have a romance this season."
Gurira added "Oh yea, of course." When Couric questioned him about the comment, Lincoln said he was only joking but then Steven Yeun (Glenn) piped in and said a "Or not."
What do you think about a Michonne and Rick relationship?
