The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers: Rick recruits new ally named Burton

The Season 4 finale of AMC's The Walking Dead ended with Rick Grimes and friends all reunited. Unfortunately, the reunion occurred with them locked in a train car and what are very likely cannibals hanging out a few feet outside the door. Still, Rick seemed calm because "they're screwing with the wrong people."

Fans of the hit series must now wait until the fall to find out the fates of Rick and company, but spoilers are likely to come out between now and then to help tide fans over until the premiere. This latest one comes from the "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online:

"Connor: I'm still in shock over that Walking Dead finale! I can't believe we have to wait 'til October to find out what's next. Got anything to hold me over?
Our gang may have been in a tight-spot when we last left them, but Rick and Co. are going to be recruiting as many people as possible in order to get revenge on those man-eating freaks who run Terminus. One of the allies we're most excited to meet is 17-year-old Burton. He may be young, but he's already suffered great tragedy when lost his leg. Luckily Burton does not let his disability keep him down, and his positivity is infectious to everyone else around him."
