Deleted Scene…
For those who didn’t watch the Jon panel, he talks about that deleted scene that we saw photos and gifs of… and I wish it had made it but I can’t wait to see it on the DVD. Basically, the first episode of season 2 was supposed to start off with all of them leaving the CDC after it had blown up and Shane runs out of gas and starts screaming for Rick but they all leave him behind, so Shane gets out and starts running and a bunch of zombies start chasing him and we were supposed to find out that zombies don’t get tired. Anyway, Shane keeps falling down and finally starts blasting them away with his gun, but he runs out of bullets. Just as they’re about to get him, Rick pulls up and saves his ass.
And in the scene in 18 Miles Out where Shane is looking out the window at the lone walker, it was supposed to be a flashback of that scene where Rick saves him leaving the CDC, and he was supposed to tell Rick “thanks for saving me brother” to which Rick was going to respond ” i’ll never leave you behind.”
I loved the lone walker, but I seriously wish they kept this part in.
“They think what Rick should’ve done was kill Lori and keep Shane.”

Tidbits from new Jon Bernthal Interview
I was just as shocked as everyone about Shane’s death on ‘The Walking Dead’ and people still talk about it. You know you’re probably going to hear about that show for the rest of your career, right?
JB: If that’s the case, then awesome. It was a show that I deeply, deeply believed in. I felt so honored to be a part of it. I fought like mad to get that part and play Shane. It’s a story that I really believe in and these are the kinds of stories that are very rare, they don’t happen often and as an actor it’s exactly the kind of story you want to be a part of. I think the American audience is a smart, intelligent dynamic audience that is hungry for storytelling of this caliber and to be able to be a part of telling that story, again, is a huge honor and I knew how lucky I was to be there. I’m glad that Shane kind of resonated in that story as much as he did and they gave him a shot to be a major part of the story rather than in the comic book when he comes and goes. I’ll always be grateful for that. I loved ‘The Walking Dead.’ I love everybody, the entire cast are my family. I’m about to start this new show with Frank, who is just the man, but they’re all down in Georgia and I’ve been getting text messages and phone messages and emails all week from everybody - producers, camera men, actors - wishing me good luck and telling me how much they miss me and I’ve been sending it right back. Whether they’re talking about it or not, “The Walking Dead” will always be a part of my life.
Are you the kind of actor where once you are done with a role you let it go or does it always stay with you?
JB: One of the things that was important to Frank that I did… I’ve been wearing Shane’s boots, literally, they’re the most comfortable, most bad-ass boots I’ve ever put on in my life. I walked away after the first season with a pair and the second season, Eulyn [Womble] the wonderful costume designer, gave me three pairs to take home so I literally wear Shane’s boots every single day.
One of the things that was important to Frank was I start wearing suits and the kind of shoes that my character, Joe Teague, would wear and shedding Shane’s boots was an important thing. Look, I think it swings both ways. There will be a part of me that will always be a little Shane. I learned a lot from Shane and I think there’s a little part of Shane that will always be Jon Bernthal, whatever that means. But I’m really diving full force into this new thing and hopefully this character, Joe Teague, will have as much of an impact as Shane did. Either way, I’m so grateful to Frank and to “The Walking Dead” audience that people not only gave the show a shot but people really dig the show.
