The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers: Two Characters Reunite

Filming is underway on Season 5 on The Walking Dead, which means set photos and videos will be hitting the Internet in the coming weeks. AMC has already offered some previews with behind-the-scenes videos, but some fan photos show two characters' reunion in Season 5.

ComicBook.com posted photos of Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride filming scenes together as Daryl and Carol, respectively, for Season 5. At the end of Season 4, Carol was with baby Judith and Tyreese after killing Lizzie, while Daryl was locked in the train car in Terminus with the rest of the survivors. But based on these photos, the two friends reunite, presumably early in the season.

Daryl and Carol's relationship is one that does not exist in the comics because Daryl Dixon is an original character created for the show. This is just one of many ways the series has deviated from the source material in its first four seasons. In an interview with Collider, showrunner Scott Gimple discussed the "butterfly effect" of those changes:

"It's funny - back in the day when I started season two, I was all 'We must hem to the comic' and [creator Robert] Kirkman was like, 'Well, let's have some fun. I've done this all before.' I certainly won't abandon iconic things from the comic. I definitely want to stick to the comic as much as possible but that's also impossible with Daryl Dixon and characters that are alive but dead in the comic. There's a butterfly effect. But that's actually an incredibly fun part of the [show]. I would say that even the inventions we have on the show are inspired by the comic."
