Season 2 contains some of the most heartbreaking moments on “The Walking Dead.” After a season of searching for Carol’s (Melissa McBride) daughter Sophia (Madison Litz), they discover she had been in the barn, a zombie, the entire time. But the hits keep on coming. It is frankly a relief when the increasingly unhinged Shane (Jon Bernthal) finally bites it, for example. Yet Jeffrey DeMunn’s exit as Dale Horvath was not only a surprise to comic readers, but a truly nauseating display of blood and guts.
“Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman told MTV News that when breaking Season 2, they realized they needed a tragic end to one of their principal cast. “[W]e’ve never really had a zombie actually take down one of our main characters — at least not for a while, not since the first season,” he explained. “We wanted to remind people how dangerous these creatures are.” The season’s long list of casualties also included Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince), Patricia (Jane McNeill), and Jimmy, of course. Becoming walker fodder was probably the most traumatizing for James Allen McCune, as he spent his final moments screaming in terror. No wonder the poor guy had nightmares after that.
