Did AMC decide to reinstate Chris Hardwick before Comic-Con?

HuffPost

Lydia Hearst, Hardwick's wife, may have tipped the reinstatement last Thursday at Comic-Con when she told Variety: "He will be getting back to what he loves very soon." And while Hardwick's name went unmentioned at The Walking Dead's panel, executive producer David Alpert did offer this telling statement:  “I love Chris. He’s a dear friend. I’m sad this is happening, but we have to figure out what’s going on, and I wish him all the best. I want him back. I miss Chris. I love Chris, so I hope everything sorts itself out.” ALSO: Hardwick's ex-girlfriend/accuser Chloe Dykstra said in a statement posted to Twitter that she did not participate in AMC's investigate, and that she wished to move on with her life.
