The Wire's Lawrence Gilliard Jr. will play former Army medic 'Bob Stookey' in season four of The Walking Dead, but in the AMC adaptation of the Robert Kirkman penned series, he won't be a resident of Woodbury. Instead, he's found by Daryl Dixon and showrunner Scott M. Gimple explains that his character will be going through some issues. "His backstory is not entirely the same as in the comic and the novel. I think he’s seen things go bad over and over, and winding up in this stable place doesn’t shake him from his experience. He struggles with that." This is a sentiment echoed by Gillard, who adds: "You can see there’s something deeper and darker that’s going on with this character, just from the first episode. We don’t really know what it is. We just know he’s got some issues that he’s dealing with."

Why even have this character if you're changing him so much

Shut up fools, the whole series has already changed from the comics. We have people who have died in the show who are still alive in the comics. They are not following the comics line for line and I'm a huge fan of the comics.
