Gossip are true: Walking Dead actor Jon Bernthal will repeat his part of Shane Walsh amid the zombie dramatization's prospective ninth season, TVLine has learned. In spite of the fact that an AMC rep declined to remark, sources affirm that the Punisher performer will show up in one scene. 

Bernthal was composed off The Walking Dead close to the finish of Season 2 when Shane was lethally cut by his onetime BFF Rick (Andrew Lincoln). His character returned for a scene in Season 3 when he showed up as an illusion of Rick's creative ability. Tried and true way of thinking recommends that Shane will either turn up in another pipedream or in a progression of pre-passing flashbacks. 

Theory about Bernthal's arrival accumulated steam throughout the end of the week when a fan spotted him hanging out with kindred Walking Dead cast individuals close to the arrangement's Georgia set (look down to see the confirmation). His rebound likewise concurs with (unsubstantiated) thunderings that Lincoln will withdraw the AMC hit amid Season 9, supposedly in the wake of showing up in just about six scenes. To make up for the conceivable loss of its driving man, AMC is apparently hoping to give Norman Reedus (Daryl) a "generous" pay lift to stick around.
