What kind of relationship on the show does Eugene have with Abraham?
The Abraham, Rosita and Eugene dynamic is a lot like a couple brothers and a sister on a long road trip. When you're cooped up with someone for a long time you're going to fight, argue and bicker with each other, but at the end of the day you're like family and you're going to have each other's backs. On the surface, some of the other characters might look at Abraham and Eugene and say, Abraham's running the show. But I really think Eugene is running the show, especially after he shoots up their truck and everyone takes off. Glenn (Steven Yeun) heads up the road and Tara follows him. And then Rosita follows and Eugene steps up next to Abraham and says, "This way's clear, who knows what's that way. Trust me, I'm smarter then you," and he just starts walking. That tells you the dynamic between these guys. You might think Abraham calls the shots -- being the ex-military guy and as much of a badass as he is killing walkers all the time -- but Eugene is the brains and he's the one really running the show.
So far, Eugene, Rosita and Abraham's story is very similar to the comics. Considering GImple's remix approach to the show and comics, what kind of differences can we expect from Eugene?
The really cool thing about when you're playing a comic book character is that no one knows what he sounds like. We see that Eugene speaks very quickly and he is very knowledgeable with an enormous brain, but he lacks emotion; it's dry and emotionless. We haven't really jumped into these characters enough yet to really look at the differences in what we're going to see in the show as it compares to the comics. I know that's coming but as we get further in this season, we're going to see these characters come to life a little more and jump into their backstories and that's where we're going to see the differences. But they're going to be pretty close to what they were in the comics.
