What characters from Seasons 1 and 2 do you think may come back for Season 3?
So it looks like The Walking Dead Season 3 should come out this year and I'm thrilled. I wanted to speculate as to what characters might be in it, because while the vast majority of interesting characters you've had the chance to meet have died horribly, there are a handful that may still be alive somewhere, and I'm hoping we'll see them again.
1. Molly
Of all of the characters on this list, Molly is probably the one I want to see come back the most. I found her to be fascinating, and she was gone all too soon. She gave the veneer of the stereotypical loner bad-ass archetype while slowly revealing herself to be a much deeper and interesting character underneath.
Edit
In my original post, I took a piece of fan art that I thought was legit as proof that Molly would be in Season 3. Pretty stupid of me.
2. Christa
Another character I desperately want to see make a return in Season 3 is Christa. I highly doubt she died at the beginning of Season 2 since we didn't actually see her death. I mean, c'mon, if Kenny survived what he did (presumably by hiding under the dumpster) then Christa had to have survived. I think we'll be seeing her again, though since she's not at Wellington God only knows where we'd find her.
3. Lilly
Before she shot Carley (or Doug) I actually liked Lilly a lot. She was a tough, mean bitch, but goddamnit, I thought that was kinda what the group needed. However, after she killed my favorite character, she was completely and irrevocably dead to me. People who have only watched The Walking Dead show and have not read the comics don't know that Lilly is actually a major player in the comics. She's a part of the Governor's ensemble. She shoots and kills Lori Grimes (Rick's wife) and Judith (though Judith was accidental).
She also kills the Governor.
So... it all balances out I guess? The comics leave her as the leader of the Woodberry survivors. They are trapped in the prison and surrounded by walkers. Her fate is uncertain, but I personally doubt we'll be seeing her again.
Edit
According to the god of TWD universe, Robert Kirkman, Lilly from the game is not the same as Lilly from the comics. I find this extremely difficult to believe since they both share the same name, appearance, basic personality, and they both served in the US Air Force, but whatever. Word of god is word of god.
4. Arvo
Fuck this Russian bastard. I hope we'll be seeing him again, so I can kill him.
5. Mike
I don't know if he's alive or not, but I don't want to see him either way. I don't hate him like I do Arvo, but I'd still rather not encounter him. Besides, Kenny's probably already killed him anyway.
6. Bonnie
Same as Mike, I don't hate her, but I don't want to see her.
7. The other 400 Days people
I thought there would be more tie-in between 400 Days and Season 2. Now I feel bad for convincing all of my 400 Days characters to come join Carver's community. I hope they survived the walkers.
P.S. I haven't played Michonne yet because I'm currently reading the comics and want to reach the point in the comics where the games take place before first, so I can't speculate as to any crossover characters there.

where did you find that Season 3 image?
That picture isn't a screenshot from Season 3, it is fan art from deviant art: http://clemeverett.deviantart.com/art/Badass-Clementine-and-Molly-465794640

I first saw it on Movie Pilot, a source I'm not too familiar with, but it seemed legit to me.
I just realized that, if i'm not wrong, each one of the 400 days stories has at least one side character alive (Danny/Justin, Nate, Eddie, Leland, Roman). What if this was planned and they all are going to appear in s3? It's not very likely to happen, but i think it would make sense.
Oh that would be crazy. Telltale you clever bastards
The more I look around, the less legit it seems.
Roman's dead. Clem found his body at the end of the first episode of Season 2. The rest are unknown.
Lily Caul and Lily from Woodbury are two different characters. Anyway of those you mentioned, the ones more likely to reappear are Mike and Arvo (besides Clementine of course), however keeping them all unknown would be more realistic.
That's a fake picture. It's easy to tell it's fake as it's a super imposed image over In Harms Way herd scene
Leland can die though, so I doubt it.
Kirkman confirmed that VG Lilly and Comic Lilly are not the same.
Other than Clem, AJ, and whoever you may have kept alive in Season 2, I don't want any returning characters, not even Mike, Bonnie, and Arvo, no matter how much I want to fucking slit their throats and wait for them to reanimate into walkers just so I can have the pleasure of killing them again after what they did.
I'm probaly thinking... Hmm.. Clementine? Let me know if you think Clem's gonna come back not sarcasm at all. Also Kenny.
Totally forgot this... Still, there are plenty of good characters in 400 days to use
Yeah, it's totally fake. Don't trust stuff unless Telltale releases it.
That article is clickbait at its finest. I wouldn't trust random articles.
You mean returning in the game or as the protagonist of the game?
I was thinking about that after finishing Michonne and I suppose the protagonist may be a man, (season 2 and Michonne were women) so there's a possibility that it can be a man.
Glenn?
Glenn's already turned to ashes by the time of Season 3.
About the missing characters. I don't want no one to return. Clementine, AJ and whoever is alive by decisions only.
Arvo should meet lucile
Dude, I honestly thought you were joking with that pic, obviously it's a fake. It has been around since 203 or something and was never intended to be taken seriously (e.g. Clem using the maneuver gear from Attack on Titan)
Like I said, it was a joke, so it doesn't mean that moviepilot is necessarily an unreliable source now.
Christa would be the popular choice for me. We last saw her surrounded by that group. Could she have made it out alive with a bullet wound? Is she in Wellington (where she was meant to be heading) i'd love for these questions to be answered. I simply don't believe she is dead
Lilly (P.S. not the same Lilly from the comics/novels), Christa, Molly, Vernon (we have NO proof he is dead), Tavia, Nate, Eddie, Russell, Wyatt, Vince, Shel, Becca, Andre, Chet, Boyd, Joyce, Clive, Arvo, Mike, and Bonnie (Just to kill Bonnie and Arvo though)
But for some reason They are both named Lilly Caul, But instead of making it the same Lilly the gave a reference to the game. Her dad. Everett
Roman was found dead in s1 e1...
Guess that makes me the only one wishing for Clive to be alive. I'd rather have Boyd and Joyce, since they strike me as characters with lots of potential, but given that Gil's Pitstop was overrun, I don't think there's much hope for them.
ok first off unless they change their mind they already said molly is not coming back
second kenny was suppose to be dead in season 1 but they changed their minds and erased his death screams to allow him to come back for season 2 which was kind of a rip off they should of just killed him off like they originally planned than to bring him back and give him a stupid roll and cause of it i dont know if i could stand to see kenny again after they gave him a bad roll they would have to do a lot better to make me want to see him again after that
3rd i would like to see crista again but hard to say what happend we know those guys shot at her but we dont know if they missed her or got her or if they killed her
4th i would like to see lilly again but who knows
5th i would like to see arvo again just to have clementine kill him
6th i dont know if i want to see mike again
7th I would like to see Bonnie again
8th as far as the other 400 days characters I only want to see Becca and Shel I dont really care for the others
9th I would like to see Jane again
I hope Arvo returns, after what he did to Clementine by shooting her in the shoulder I think payback is needed.
Well obviously Clem, AJ, and Kenny/Jane will be in it. This was meant to be speculation, not me stating the obvious.
Wait, where'd you find the season 3 screenshot?
Damn. I wanted to believe.
It's a fake
I'm assuming that Clem will be the protagonist. This is a list of characters that I think have a chance of appearing in Season 3 in some way.
I liked Clive in 400 days, I also want him to be alive. I don't see anything on Joyce at all, but i agree with you that Boyd has a good potential.
Lily from the game was actually supposed to be Lilly Caul, but since Kirkman changed his mind and published a novel series about her, Telltale had to make their Lilly a different character.
It's pretty obvious that Telltale meant for them to be the same character and Robert Kirkman didn't like it.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
Nah, i would like characters like James and Alex from Michonne miniseries who have great potential instead of people of Season 1&2 who already had their own story
Excpetions: Christa (we deserve to know what happened ;-;)
I hope Molly, Lilly, and Christa come back. But honestly, if I had to choose just one I would choose Eddie.
