After being spotted near the set of The Walking Dead, TVLine has confirmed that Jon Bernthal is returning as Shane Walsh. The return is for one episode and will likely be a flashback or hallucination. All other details are as always, under wraps. This all happens to be occurring during Andrew Lincoln's final season so speculate away. Deadline also notes Bernthal is likely to appear at SDCC.
From what sources tell us, Bernthal will most likely appear in flashbacks in a sort of This is Your Life final hurrah for Lincoln’s Rick Grimes as this is the last season for the character.
