Fan Favorite Returning For Third Season Of THE WALKING DEAD

Since being abandoned on a rooftop in Season 1, Merle Dixon has been the source of fervent fan speculation. And we were only teased with him in Season 2 with Daryl's hallucinations, leaving none of the constant questions answered. (Where is he? Is he alive?) 

Today, AMC confirms that Merle (Michael Rooker) will return in The Walking Dead Season 3. Check out this first look at the character -- sporting a new arm accessory. Is anyone else hoping he straps a chainsaw on there at some point in the season?
