A panel for The Walking Dead took place yesterday at the TV Academy in North Hollywood. While a number of season 2 items were discussed, there were also a few interesting quotes regarding T-Dog, Daryl, and comic book deaths:
T-Dog: "T-Dog (IronE Singleton) will continue to trend on Twitter during every episode -- 'in a good way,' Mazzara said. Acknowledging that the fan-favorite character is considered to have been under used this season, the showrunner explained T-Dog has been intentionally quiet as he watches the insanity unfold around him."
Dale's Death and Comic Deaths: *Spoiler Warning for those that haven't read the comic series. "The epic way in which Dale died in the comic series could still make its way onto the AMC drama -- for another character. In the long-running Image series, Dale winds up being bitten by a walker, kidnapped by cannibals and having his infected leg cut off and consumed before being set free and dying at Andrea's side. 'There will be cases where something memorable like that will be displaced and given to somebody else,' Kirkman said. 'I'll hint that that actually happens in our first episode back in Season 3 -- there's something memorable that happened to a character in the comic is happening in the show in our first episode back and it's not the same character.' "
Daryl's Growth: "Daryl (Norman Reedus) will continue to grow. Carol's (Melissa McBride) 'knight in shining armor' will continue to be Rick's right-hand man in Season 3. 'It's interesting to put him in a position of power,' Nicotero said. (Reedus had a wedding to attend Saturday and was unable to join the cast during Friday's panel.)"
The Walking Dead Season 3 begins filming in May and will return with the first of 16 episodes in October. Read the following articles for our recent Season 3 coverage:
