The last time we saw Merle Dixon, he has been left on handcuffed to a roof by Rick Grimes with a group of walkers quickly closing in. The survivors did go back for him, but all that remained was a severed hand. Despite appearing as a figment of Daryl's imagination in season two, fans have been left wondering just when he'll return and what state he will actually be in. Thanks to Walking Dead News, we now know that he'll be returning without a hand, but WITH one nasty looking prosthetic in its place.
This set photo also seems to confirm that Merle will be a part of the Governor's group. Rick and the gang had best watch out!
The Walking Dead will return to the small screen this Fall.
