"The Walking Dead" season 6 filming continues, and we have some major SPOILERS to discuss with regard to the AMC series' cast. Future episodes will reportedly feature new characters, but not before Michonne kills an old one.
Possible SPOILERS for season 6 are coming. Those that don't want to know them should turn back now. The news comes to Design & Trend via the experts at The Spoiling Dead Fans. Their source claims to have inside knowledge of the show's midseason finale, but the details haven't been confirmed.
As was previously reported by us a few days ago, a post from the popular spoiler group reveals the supposed truth behind how Carl Grimes loses his eye in the television adaptation. However, there are a few more critical tidbits we forgot to tell in our initial story.
Those that have read Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" comics before will recognize the midseason finale as a possible mirror of "No Way Out" from the original printed source. That essentially means Jessie will be attacked by walkers, and she refuses to let go of Carl's hand as she's dragged down by the hungry horde.
As a reflex, Rick shoots the woman's hand and is thus forced to watch her die. Angered by the events, her son Ron picks up his gun and ties to shoot Rick. Carl jumps in front of the bullet to save his father and winds up losing his eye.
What we didn't say is what happens afterward. Once the shot has been fired, Michonne immediately comes to the defense of her injured friend and kills Ron on the spot.
With two established characters seemingly marked for death, that leaves plenty of room for new ones to fill in the gap. Of most recent focus is the top secret casting of the Paul "Jesus" Monroe character. We don't know which actor has taken on the role, but he's described as being 5-foot 11 with dark blond hair.
What's more is, the new group member might cause friction between two of the show's most beloved survivors. Sources on set claim to have witnessed a scene where Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon "get in a scuffle" that begins with Rick confronting Dixon as he sits on his motorcycle. It's Jesus that breaks up the conflict.
This news of Paul debuting in "The Walking Dead" season 6 is corroborated by our previous casting reports. It's only a matter of time before we find out who's filling those important narrative shoes.
