Jeffrey Dean Morgan, The Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Reacts to Negan's Phone.

As The Walking DeadAs the show has shown for close to eleven full seasons, it is hard out there after the end of the world. Even when you are just acting in it. It takes hundreds, if certainly thousands of parts to make a cable show like this one successful. However, the devil is always in the details. The Walking Dead has featured few characters more devilish than Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s villain-turned-protagonist Negan. It makes sense, then, that Negan was played by the actor who is behind. The redeemable characterAfter Morgan’s anachronistic appearance in the episode, some finger-pointing ensued “The Rotten Core.” Once the actor caught wind of it all, he acknowledged the flub with a short and sweet response.

After Season 11’s latest episode aired on AMC, eagle-eyed Walking Dead fans took to the Internet to spotlight the timeline-breaking appearance of Morgan’s phone, which immediately brought to mind one of TV’s biggest on-screen prop errors: Game of Thrones’ infamous coffee cup. And much like fans’ screengrabs will forever remind us about that out-of-place drinking vessel, so shall fans’ pics of the phone hanging out of Negan’s jeans. Here’s how he reacted to the telecommunicative error on Twitter:

If anything, this speaks to Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s assumed penchant for quickly hopping on his phone during gaps in filming, though fans will obviously wonder why he didn’t feel it back there in the moment. It’s not like Negan needs a wallet, either, so something should have felt funny.

Perhaps unfortunately for viewers who saw the phone immediately and disrupted their own suspension of TV disbelief, Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s phone was visible during one of the most emotional scenes of not only that episode, but the season thus far. Not to mention an exchange that will likely have ramifications while heading toward Negan and Maggie’s upcoming spinoff Isle of the Dead.

It came as Kien Michael Spiller’s Hershel held Negan at gunpoint, having figured out that the brute was responsible for turning Glenn’s head inside-out. Rather than defusing the situation by force or by panicking, Negan calmly laid things out for the fatherless youth. While he understood the need for revenge, and even mostly agreed that he deserved a fatal punishment for Glenn’s death, Negan pointed out that pulling the trigger in that situation wouldn’t just be the wisest choice, since the loud gunshots would instantly draw Carlson and his soldiers to their hideout. We already know that Jeffrey Dean Morgan himself wishes he could go back in time to stop Negan from killing Glenn, and we can now assume he wishes he could go back and ask a nearby production assistant to hold on to his phone for a while.

Amusingly enough, this wasn’t the only time Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s phone popped up within the world of The Walking Dead, as one of The responses to the actor’s “Oops”message pointed out a prior instance. In one Season 7 episode featuring Negan inside Alexandria, there’s a very particular phone-shaped bulge in the front pocket of his jeans that was never digitally adjusted. I guess that one could be explained away as an old pack of cigarettes or…I dunno, a few packs of baseball cards? Whatever the reason may be The Walking Dead’s editing crew may be paying that much more attention to character’s pocket details when putting together the remaining eps.

The Walking Dead has just two episodes left to go ahead of its final midseason hiatus, as Season 11 will return later this year for the AMC drama’s final eight episodes ever. There are many spinoffs. It airs on Sunday evenings at 8:00 p.m. ET as follows Talking Dead. Check out the following while you wait for the next ep.
