'The Walking Dead" cast additions for Season 4, ... viewers discovered during the premiere episode, "30 Days Without An Accident" the star's character arc was very short-lived. But Martella's Patrick was arguably the most significant new addition in the first episode of Season 4, as it was through Patrick that viewers were introduced to the survivors' newest threat. ...'

""[The producers] gave me the episode and they talked to me about the kind of impact that my character was going to have and the significance it was going to have to the entire group of survivors," he explains. "Once I heard that I was really excited and I thought that it was a really, really cool way for me to be a part of the show was introducing this whole new terrible threat for this entire group of people."

It wasn't until after Martella agreed to join "The Walking Dead" that he found out Patrick would die in the first episode of Season 4. But he has no hard feelings -- "I would do one line on 'The Walking Dead' if I could. I love the show," he explains -- and is also excited about the new direction this illness heralds for the series.

"I think it reminds all of the survivors and the audience watching that there are a lot of other dangers to living in this type of environment, this post-apocalyptic world that they live in," Martella says of the introduction of the sickness. "There are a lot of other dangers besides the walkers, and I think sometimes everyone forgets about that. Something as simple as sickness, without the proper supplies and in the wrong living conditions, can actually be just as deadly, if not more so, than a group of walking dead outside the gates of your prisons."

He adds, "I think it's definitely a gamechanger, and I think audiences are going to love how this group has to deal with this problem, because everyone's going to have to deal with it in their own way....."

I guess we are expected to believe Walker Clara will return but not along with Eddie in tow?

“Hey Carl, I know what we’re gonna do today!”

[SMGFan]

Not likely, Eddy was forced to quit while he was a head and Clara was left with the baggage......

[ConjunctionJunction]

LOL! Very punny!

I only read the first compendium so I wasn’t aware of this game changer, but somebody’s going to die tonight.

I am thinking Beth, or maybe even Hershel. It will be interesting to see who the producers kill off.

No wonder he looked familiar to me. When I saw the episode I’m like “I know I’ve seen that dude somewhere before”.

[MacMattico]

As soon as he came on the screen, my 15 year old yelled “Phineus!”

[ConjunctionJunction]

Here's how we usually see him:
