"There's no lack of great TV coming our way this summer — the final episodes of both "Dexter" and "Breaking Bad," for instance — but that doesn't mean October, when the fourth season of "The Walking Dead" will premiere, is far away......*Warning: Potential spoilers ahead, for fans of the TV show and "Walking Dead" comic book readers.....* [Note : As part of the Independence Day weekend, AMC will air all three seasons of ‘The Walking Dead’ back-to-back (more or less) starting July 4th.]

Might Not Be a Friend to Anyone Else The biggest cast addition for Season 4 is Larry Gilliard Jr. as Bob Stookey, a former Army medic. Stookey, described as a charming loner who's still haunted by his actions before and after the zombie apocalypse, is a character from the "Walking Dead" comic series. In the comics, he's a 50-something Caucasian who lives in Woodbury, where his fellow survivors worry about his frequently drunken state. But, using the medical skills he learned in the Army decades earlier, he saves the Governor's life after the Woodbury leader is attacked by Michonne, and the two become friends.
4. He's Baaaack!
David Morrissey will return as the Governor, while Emily Kinney , Coleman, and Sonequa Martin-Green (as Tyreese's sister Sasha) have all been promoted from recurring status to main cast status for Season 4. Jose Pablo Cantillo and Travis Love — who play Governor sidekicks Caesar and Shumpert (aka Bowman) — will return as recurring characters, as will Melissa Ponziowho's going to stir up some trouble as Karen, the outspoken Woodbury resident now living with Rick's people at the prison.
5. Rick's Got a New Attitude
Series creator Robert Kirkman told the Hollywood Reporter that we're going to see a very different, more community-minded Rick Grimes in the new season. "Rick is changing. This is the moment where Rick takes a turn; he's no longer going to be pushing people away, he's no longer going to be doing whatever he can to protect these people in ways that hurt other people," Kirkman said. "He's not going to be the guy who would leave that guy on the side of the road — the backpack guy in ["Clear"]. He's letting the people of Woodbury in and trying to tell Carl that these people are like us, you have to be open to this, and the only way to survive in this world is to have people and be in a community. That's going to be a big part of Season 4."
6. Father vs. Son?
But while Rick is embracing his fellow survivors and the importance of banding together to keep surviving the undead (and other survivors), son Carl has seen so much death, destruction, and personal loss that he seems to have turned to the dark side, something that's going to pose a big challenge for Rick in Season 4.
"Rick's got his work cut out for him. He's aware of this, and he sees what allowing his son to become a child solider has brought, which is a very big part of season four," Kirkman told TV Guide. "Moving forward in the show, this is a guy who's working as hard as he can to maintain a life for this child. [In] the process of surviving … he's allowed his son to lose a pretty substantial piece of his humanity. It's now a question of: Is there going back? Is this now status quo? These are the things that a father will have to deal with."
7. Farewell, Prison Walls?
Kirkman has also weighed in on the location of Season 4's action, which will continue to be set largely at the prison. At least initially. "There's always going to be new locations and new places to discover and explore … we're definitely going to start season four at the prison. We may be there the whole season, and we may not be," he told TV Line.
In the comics, Rick and friends head off to another location when the Governor and his army destroy the prison … a potential Season 4 storyline, now that we know the Gov is sticking around to wreak more havoc?"
