The Walking Dead: How Eugene Will "Pick Up the Pieces" After Negan's Entrance
PS: We had finally started to see him putting his skills to use and using his brain for the good of the colony, are we gonna see him utilizing those talents again, or is it just back to square one?
JD: I really think it's back to square one more than anything. He's a smart guy, he's gonna figure it out, but I think it's gonna take a minute for him to figure out what his role is in this new world. This was an extremely devastating thing that happened to him; it wasn't just a traveling companion, I think he really looked at Abraham like a brother. We don't know much about Eugene pre-apocalypse, but my guess is he didn't have a lot of friends in the physical sense. Most of them were maybe in the virtual world or you know, online and that sort of thing. This was a very close relationship that he had with someone, and I think it would devastate anybody. I take it back, he may not go completely to square one, but he's certainly going backwards to a point that he was before he was a survivor . . . it's gonna take a while, it's gonna be a real struggle for him.
PS: It seems like a struggle for him to even make the most basic genuine connection with people, and he's made some good friends over the course of the show, but are we going see him take that further and get a romantic interest?
JD: That's something that a lot of the fans ask me. I'm thinking, as girl-crazy as Eugene is, that is probably the furthest thing on his mind right now in terms of what is his life going to look like. He's trying to figure out who he is as a person after the death of his closest friend, and anything romantic is definitely then put on the back burner. He's got a couple special suitors in his back pocket, he just needs to find a time to hit on them. Which, honestly, whether or not he ends up in a relationship, I would love it if Scott writes some more flirtatious Eugene scenes because I would get a kick out of that to see if someone like Eugene has the complete confidence to berate a woman into loving him.

I never considered Eugene girl-crazy. 12 year old boy creepy? Yes, but not girl crazy. And who is he talking about when he says "he's got a couple special suitors in his back pocket"?

No, I agree with you. I was half joking that he'd meet one of the wives while he was there. I mean Sherry had no problem getting in and out of where Daryl was kept.
I agree with Josh that romance would not be on Eugene's mind at this time. Abe's death was devastating to him. That's one reason I have a bit of a problem with Eugene/Rosita. I would like to see Eugene do a lot of flirting with a lot of women in season 8, to see more of the character, but even more so, to see Josh's acting.
