TV Guide spoke with Robert Kirkman about the fate of a fan favorite character and he surprisingly confirmed a few details about their fate as well as where the group is headed after the events of the midseason finale.
Natalie Abrams of TV Guide reported: Spoiler:[ I pumped Robert Kirkman for some scoop on the second half of the season and he offered up three interesting tidbits: 1) Carol will definitely return before the end of the season; 2) The Sanctuary, which was discussed in that radio message, will come into play; and 3) Via flashbacks, there will be glimpses into the lives of our favorite characters, likely including Michonne.]

The Walking Dead will return in February.

I cant wait for the show to return in February. Also cant wait to see more of Michonne. So far i'm suffering from The Walking Dead withdrawal.

not trying to sound rude, but it was already confirmed she would be back.

sweet, more Michonne! Not really big on Carol though...she's well acted but gets crappy material.

Could care less about Carol. I was kinda hoping it would somehow be Lori. But i love this show. Huge fan.

meh. I knew she should be back but I also think it's going to be in a big way.

I think carol is going to usurp rick's place as leader

Carol didnt die. Is saying Carol will return really news? It never occured to me she wouldnt be seen again.
I thought Kirkman finally admitted Judith is alive on the show.

At any rate take your time February. I got plenty of TV I need to catch up on before Walking Dead needs to come back.

Seriously, Last weekend I bought back a Gamecube and the game "hunter : the reckonning" to play along with my wife. The Walking Dead withdrawal have some nasty side effects...

@Jordanstine I think Judith is alive, Tyrese ran in her direction with the girls then when the tank fired on the bridge it looks like Tyrese is holding something while running away, not his gun.

and you know me just waiting for the Walking Dead's return in February... :)

She'll probably be a zombie. As upset as she was when she found out she was leaving the show, I doubt they're bringing her back to stay.

I hope I'm wrong. She was just becoming sexy when they took her out.

I have a feeling Lily took Judith. She just lost her own daughter, so she would work the best as a plot device. And she was covered in her daughter's gore, which would explain the blood on the carseat. If Judith had been eaten, they'd have chosen to show it simply because of how powerful that scene would have been.

Well, dang. I was hoping the Guv was coming back somehow. The comics version wasn't that likeable, but the TV version had a lot of untapped potential.

With the group splitting up, and Tyrese ending up with Lizzy , Judith and the other kids, I'm willing to bet that's the group that will run into Carol.

Michonne has baby Judith. They showed Michonne (reluctantly) holding Judith a couple episodes for a reason: foreshadowing.

My money's on this opening up Michonne's flashback episode where we find out why she was so hesitant to hold a baby in the first place... hint: she lost her own child pre/post zombie apocalypse.

I still hands down think Carol was not the one who killed the people. I think Carl may have.
Watching the older episodes helped show me some insight to the caring relationship that Carol has not only with Carl, but also other children. I believe Carol is covering for Carl.
Notice in the mid-season finale, Tyreese discovered yet another mutilated rat corpse significant of the murders that occurred before. It's as if the rat had a c-section performed on it, like when Carl was present for his mother's death.
Lately, Carl has been a bit mentally unstable. Remember when he killed the poor survivor from Woodbury (who was clearly surrendering, btw)? What about Carl's unquestionably dark views on the world and how the group should be handled?
I ask where could the show possibly go next? I think some intense drama involving Rick discovering his son has gone down a dark black hole, is what's up next. That and the group trying to get back together. Apart from Daryl trying to find Carol because he simply misses her, how else can the show bring her back?

Also, I love the concept of the flashbacks. I feel like the show needs to explain more of these characters.

Lori was in the last episode-one of the zombies walking towards the prison....I think.

I wonder if the flashbacks wouldnt' be a great way to bring back the actors who played Hershell, Dale, Andrea, etc.

@thetrojan

I think that zombie in that one shot was that crazy woman whom Rick met in the woods.

this is THE best season (or half season) yet. surprised it doesn't TOP that many annual year-end top tv shows lists though...

SPOILER!!!

Hershell's tragic (yet expected) death, the lost of Rick's baby, the fate of the exiled Carol, the fate of Rick's group (will they or won't they reunite anytime soon?)..Mischonne..what da heck happened to HER..??!! thought she woulda joined Rick and his boy in escaping the walkers, after stabbing the deliciously evil Guv'nor..

speaking of whom..did his lover actually shoot him in the face or not...remained to be seen. logically, she SHOULD, after him shooting her daughter..but if i were her, i woulda just let the walkers EAT him ALIVE..and move on with her life by joining the next single hunk, Rick and his boy.
