Yahoo News The Walking Dead to deviate even more from the comics
The Walking Dead certainly threw fans a curveball when it deviated from the comic book by killing off Carl Grimes, but changes from the source material aren't going to stop there.
We're not sure whether to be excited by the news or apprehensive, but Andrew Lincoln – aka Carl's father Rick – has hinted that the drama series is about to go rogue moving forward.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Andrew revealed how the shock twist involving Carl meant that "all bets were off" for the rest of the team, and that pretty much no-one is safe.
Sounds about right for a zombie apocalypse.
Reflecting on the upcoming storyline involving Carl's death, he said: "This is unchartered waters for the show... I think what they're having to do is shake it up, in a profoundly new way."
Andrew is feeling pretty positive about any potential shake-ups, though, saying that any plot-line separate from the story will be "incredibly satisfying" not just for the characters in the series, but for its fans too.

"We're eight years, into a big story and I think if there is a future game - which I know that there is - they're going to have to take some big swings and change things up.
"Loosening and untethering us from a lot of the story in the comic is one really interesting way of moving the story forward, and perhaps we can look at a bigger story outside of the one that we've been focusing on for eight years..." he said.
We're not sure we can take any more surprises, to be honest.
The Walking Dead returns on Sunday, February 25 in the US on AMC and on Monday, February 26 on FOX UK.
