De website Fearnet.com had vorige week een interview met Robert Kirkland over The Walking Dead TV serie. Daar werd hem de vraag gesteld of het klopte dat er een main karakter zal overlijden, hij antwoorde hier op dat er voor seizoen 3 begint meerdere karakters zullen overlijden en dat er nieuwe bij komen. Uiteraard treed hij niet verder in details, dus de grote vraag is nu: wie wil jij dood zien??

What would you say to those folks who've heard the rumors that a major character will die?

You know, it's The Walking Dead. I'm not guarantee it, but I'm gonna say that it's safe to... People are gonna die. Whether they're gonna be main characters I can't really say. I don't know what people consider to be a main character, but there are human characters on the show that will be not surviving. By the end of this season... We start with a cast on our second season, and we will end with a somewhat different cast. That's kind of what The Walking Dead is. So we'll see.

What can you tell us about the second half of The Walking Dead season 2?

I will say that it's kind of fun. We knew that the break was coming in this season, so we wrote to it. So the first half of this season that everybody has seen does kind of fit as an arc. Everything was deliberate and it was kind of cool to end with the Sophia reveal. (I hope I'm not spoiling anything for people who are behind.) Coming into the second half of the season I think that we kind of hit the ground running, and there's a lot of stuff going on. I actually just watched episodes 11, 12 and 13 to review them, and it's just non-stop all kinds of cool stuff. I can't reveal much, but I will say that when we come back in February the first episode back has the best ending that I've thus seen. I was just super-thrilled when I got to that. It's just gonna be really cool stuff. We're gonna be introducing some new elements and some new characters, and some big things that you may not be expecting. It's gonna be pretty awesome.
