According to ComicBook.com on March 17, in AMC’s “The Walking Dead’s” third season have been riddled with rumors of two characters dying off on the season finale. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth as Andrew Lincoln, the actor who plays Rick Grimes, revealed that’s not necessarily the case.

In an interview with Lincoln, he had stated that 27 characters will be killed off. To clarify, these are not walkers either, but actual living characters on the show. So, just like a major lay off in a company buy out, so begins “The Walking Dead” version of its own restructuring.

According to Digital Spy, there are theories that Andrea could be one of them. Holden had recently admitted that she could very well answer to her indecisiveness for choosing sides. Being torn will have its downfall in her case.

“She’s walking on a tightrope, and it’s very dangerous,” Holden explained. “I don’t think anybody is safe on this show, to be honest”. The only person who’s really safe is Carl [Chandler Riggs]. I know that people don’t want to hear that, but it’s true. There’s going to be more major deaths before the end of the season and no one is safe”.

Considering the fact that Rick’s behavior patterns as of late and his recent decision to take action against The Governor was possibly due to his previous law enforcement profession. He simply and easily doesn’t trust whatever was being said to him and intends to strike first.

The Governor, thinking his deception was effective against Rick, is also making his move thinking Rick is sitting tight for the next two days.

That being said, it is going to be a major blood bath sense both of them are taking a seriously aggressive stance.

Andrew Lincoln has hinted that an epic war will end The Walking Dead‘s third season.

The Walking Dead‘s third season has seen Lincoln’s character Rick experience haunting hallucinations of his dead wife Lori (Sarah Callies).

Discussing the AMC show with MTV News, Lincoln suggested that Rick may be permanently traumatised by the loss of his wife.”I don’t know if he’ll ever be the man he was, and that’s one of the great joys of playing this part,” the actor said. “He does keep changing and building up in other areas of his psyche, but he’s deteriorating in others. I do think he’s one of these animals who is galvanised by action.”Lincoln continued: “I think if Rick had been alone, he might not have been this tenacious survivor. But he has this family now, this incredibly tight family. In spite of losing his wife, he has this incredibly loyal unit he calls his family.

That’s his driving force. And certainly his son is pulling him very much back into reality. “In the last episodes before we finish this season, you see a man coming out of the darkness and hopefully returning. I don’t think he can return the complete man that he was, but he realises the enormous responsibility on his shoulders. He has to step up.”

The actor went on to describe The Walking Dead‘s final season three episodes as “epic”.”I won’t be amiss in saying that not everybody gets out alive,” he hinted. “Of course – we are The Walking Dead, after all! And it’s season three.”The Walking Dead continues in the US on Sundays on AMC. The series airs in the UK on Fridays on FOX.

WARNING: Spoilers for the latest “Walking Dead” lie ahead.

Like winter in Westeros, war is coming for the cast of “The Walking Dead.” On one end of the battlefield is Rick Grimes, the former lawman rapidly losing his sanity as he tries to keep his fellow survivors alive within the walls of a semi-secure prison. On the other end is the ruthless Governor and his walled-in community of Woodbury. Blood has been spilled on both sides of the conflict, leading the two leaders to their first-ever face-to-face sit-down in the latest episode of “Walking Dead,” titled “Arrow in the Doorpost.”

During their encounter, the Governor offers Rick a solution to their mutual problem: in exchange for a ceasefire, Rick must offer up Michonne, the sword-slinging survivor who destroyed the Governor’s eye and killed his zombified daughter, Penny. But even as Rick seriously considers the offer, the Governor is already preparing plans to betray and slaughter the leader of the prison and his people.

With much on his mind — including visions of his dead wife Lori — Rick’s stress levels are at an all-time high, and his sanity is quite possibly at an all-time low. To hash things out further, MTV News reached out to “Walking Dead” leading man Andrew Lincoln for more on Rick’s current situation and the inevitable showdown in the final few episodes of season three.

MTV: After building up to this moment all season long, it was very exciting to finally see Rick and The Governor in the same room, face to face. What was your reaction to their initial meeting?

Andrew Lincoln: I’ve been champing at the bit since [Governor actor David Morrissey] arrived on set. The first time we even saw each other on a filming day was the episode where he shot Axel. The only bit of filming I witnessed was him spraying his gun and bullets in the air as he rode away. I just looked at the rest of the cast and crew and went, “What an a–hole. I hate that guy.” [Laughs] It was great to finally get a chance to work with David. I’ve been a huge admirer of his and, like [Morgan Jones actor] Lennie James, I never had the chance to work with him in my own country, so we did it here in America. It was thrilling. The script was not what I anticipated; I thought it would be much more combative, almost closer to the Shane-Rick confrontation, much more of a clash. But it turned into something really interesting.

There were more mind games, two men sizing each other up, and trying to come to some semblance of an agreement. It was fun. We didn’t really talk so much when we were working together because of the nature of the atmosphere in the room, but it was great to get these two men in the same room, to see how they respond to each other. There was almost a bond of common understanding; these are two leaders who have had leadership thrust upon them, for whatever reason. In spite of all of the conflict and confrontations, they can speak to each other like they can speak to no one else in their world. It was quite an enjoyable experience to play around with that. I think it was vital that Rick almost, almost, has sympathy for the guy.

If the previews are anything to go by, this week’s episode of “The Walking Dead” will finally feature the long-awaited face-off between Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes and David Morrissey’s The Governor.

“There is a face-off coming,” Andrew told Access Hollywood last Friday at the PaleyFest 2013’s event honoring the show. “The writers have done a terrific job in just making a few twists and turns that you wouldn’t anticipate.”

David also hinted the face-off likely won’t go down the way viewers might predict.

“I think the main thing to say about that is what the show has done in the last half of the season is been full of surprises and twists and turns and I think people have been pleasantly surprised about how the show develops, and it’ll carry on in that way,” David told Access, when asked about the face-off back in January. “So the meeting that I think you’re expecting – it might have a little bit of an edge to it or something different anyway. It won’t be exactly the meeting you were hoping for.”

For Andrea, who is currently back in Woodbury, and sleeping with the enemy, she may return to her pre-zombie apocalypse roots to try and help both groups, following her failed assassination attempt of The Governor.

“Let me just be clear, she was sleeping with the enemy in [Episode 311] because she’s working on the inside. She did not sleep with him because it was like, ‘Oh, you’re so handsome, and I’m having a weak moment,’” Laurie Holden explained to Access on the PaleyFest red carpet. “She really thought that she could pull off what Carol asked of her — and that was her intention — but Andrea’s never killed a human being before and it’s very different to think that you can kill someone in cold blood and then actually stand over someone when they’re sleeping and slit their throat. So I think that you’re going to see in future episodes that she’s going to try for peace in the ways that she knows how. She was a lawyer prior to the apocalypse.”

Michonne certainly seemed to finally get a foothold in the group after going on the supply mission with Rick and Carl in last week’s episode, “Clear,” and to keep her spot going forward and inch her way toward becoming a fully-fledged member of Rick’s camp, Danai Gurira said her character will need to work on herself.

“I think working her way into the group is a lot about working on herself,” Danai told Access. “[For a long time], she was on her own, she developed her own survival skills, which she’s very dependent on. She learned how to live without human attachment, except when she took Andrea in, so the idea of having to open up to a group — and she knows that this where she should be — but it’s that journey into really embracing somewhat of her old self really, who she was before the apocalypse, because she became quite a different chick. But now it’s about being that formidable woman, but also going back to the woman she was before and trusting that it’s safe for her or worth the risk for her to let that part of her out.”

And could Merle have found a friend in Hershel? Asked if they’ll become pals – of sorts – after sharing a moment over scripture in Episode 311, Scott Wilson, who plays Hershel, hinted Merle might not be unwelcome in his prison bed any longer.

“It was an interesting scene. I think it shows how multi-dimensional Merle is. A lot of people have been surprised by his finishing off a verse in The Bible and knowing chapter and verse,” Scott said. “He’s a very interesting, entertaining character. I think it’s just interesting how all of the characters are evolving and sometimes they bump into each other. But then, they’re still in this same mix and they’re still pulling for each other”
