Check out the below news on the Walking Dead from TV Guide. They are reporting a major change in Carl, his personality, and his role with the rest of his fellow survivors. This should be an interesting transformation for a character who is a child and still in touch with his childhood on some levels after the zombie Apocalypse.
Carl killing zombie-Shane wasn’t just the loss of his innocence; it was the beginning of his transformation. “We’re interested in exploring Carl as a child soldier in this war against the walkers,” executive producer Glen Mazzara tells us. “He becomes a very, very effective, strong part of the group. He’s no longer the young child who needs to be cared for and who needs to be minded. That Carl is gone.” TV GUIDE
