Shane Walsh (TV Series)

TV Series Character
Shane's story is pretty much the same throughout the TV series, except he is still alive as of the end of the first season. After the argument of what they should do from here on out (which drove him insane in the comics), both he and Rick Grimes went into the nearby woods to scout out the area. After a bit of disagreement, the two split up and Shane watched on as Rick went out a bit...suddenly raising his shotgun to aim at Rick from afar. Through his mind he was wondering if he should kill Rick...but he eventually decided not to, laying his gun down while Dale showed up next to him...having seen the events. Shane plays it off as nothing, that they should "start wearing reflective vests" such as the kind used by forklift drivers...then they all return to camp.

Strangely enough, Shane starts to agree with Rick (despite some minor objections), which shocks both Rick and Lori. They all decide to leave camp and head for the Center of Disease Control, where they'll attempt to locate a cure. Shane is still apart of the group actively, though he does have some setbacks at the CDC (he becomes drunk and tries to convince Lori Grimes that she loves him, which ends in him being slashed by her nails and he gives up again)...even going as far as to almost kill a man until Rick knocks sense into him. Shane, along with the rest of the survivors (except Jacqui, as well as the doctor) escape the CDC before it explodes and leaves with the group...thus he will return in Season 2.
