Hershel Rhee (TV Series)

Hershel Rhee is a character who is set to appear in Season 9 of AMC's The Walking Dead. He is Maggie and Glenn's son and is named after his late grandfather, Hershel Greene.

Virginia
Hershel is Maggie and Glenn's first child. Maggie discovers her pregnancy after arriving at the Alexandria Safe-Zone.

When the group encounters Paul Rovia and visits his community, the Hilltop Colony, Maggie and Glenn meet one of the colony's residents, Dr. Harlan Carson, who reveals that he was an obstetrician before the apocalypse. In his medical trailer, Harlan performs an ultrasound on Maggie. Glenn and Maggie smile when they see the fetus and hear its heartbeat. On their way back to Alexandria, Glenn circulates an ultrasound photo of Hershel.

Approximately two weeks later, after Enid cuts Maggie's hair, she convulses and screams in agony, apparently suffering complications with her pregnancy. The group plans to get Maggie to the Hilltop for medical care but are stopped multiple times by the Saviors before finally being surrounded and forced on their knees. The leader of the Saviors, Negan, introduces himself to the group and murders Abraham Ford. Once he finishes, Negan implores the group to look at his "dirty girl", referring to his weapon, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, which is now covered in Abraham's blood and brains. Noting Rosita Espinosa's extreme terror and anguish, Negan asks if she and Abraham were together. Rosita is silent. Negan demands she look up at his bat and begins to yell when Rosita refuses. Enraged, Daryl Dixon leaps up, punching Negan in the face before he is subdued by two Saviors. As punishment for Daryl’s transgression, Negan reminds the group there is always punishment for resistance and murders Hershel's father, Glenn. After the Saviors leave, Maggie eventually struggles to her feet. Rick Grimes tells her that they need to get her to Hilltop's doctor, but she insists they all head back to Alexandria and prepare to fight. Rick counters, saying the Saviors have Daryl now, and an army, and they will all die if they go after Negan. The group insist on continuing to Hilltop but Maggie demands they do not follow her. Sasha Williams volunteers to go with Maggie, instead. “I’m taking him with me”, Maggie says in reference to Glenn. Rick remembers Negan's words about "you all thought you were going to grow old together...". As these words echo in Rick's mind, he envisions an idyllic scene. His group peacefully eats dinner together at an outdoor setting in Alexandria. At the head of the table is Glenn, holding Hershel.

A few days later, at the Hilltop, Maggie wakes up in Dr. Carson’s medical trailer. She looks weak, but healthier than before. He informs her that she suffered from abruptio placentae, a separation of the placenta from the uterus, but that her child is fine. Dr. Carson advises her to rest and remain at the Hilltop for the duration of her pregnancy.

During the All Out War against the Saviors, Maggie leads the Hilltop into the Militia's the first attack on the Saviors' base, the Santuary, then stays at the Hilltop to keep herself and her unborn child safe.

Hershel is born months after the war ended.
