Bob Lamson (TV Series)

"The parking lot...when they were bringin' us up here, I saw a rotter. I saw one of the rotters and I knew him. His name was Tyler. I met him in Grady. We were both sent there when shit started going down. Took two whole days to evacuate everyone. Didn't sleep, didn't eat. Still...it was the two best days of my life. I was supposed to drive the last van of survivors to the zone, but Dawn pulled me off. She wanted someone she could really trust, so she put Tyler on instead. These people were all gonna be evacuated. I was really pissed. I saw him out there. Stuck out there, melting into asphalt. And all I could think was: that would've been me. Would've been me. He saved my life. He's been out there the whole time. Like he was a part of the street. Some screwed up, endless joke. And there was nothing I could do."

- Bob to Sasha, telling her about his friend Tyler.

Bob Lamson is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is a police officer from Grady Memorial Hospital.

Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known about Bob's life before the outbreak, except that he was an officer with the Atlanta Police Department and had worked closely with Dawn Lerner for several years.

Post-Apocalypse
When the outbreak first started, Bob was one of several officers under Dawn Lerner assigned to evacuate Grady Memorial Hospital. He was originally going to drive the last load of patients to the evacuation zone, but at the last minute Dawn decided that he should remain at the hospital, and instead had another officer, Tyler, perform the task. As a result, Tyler was killed in the firebombing of the city, leaving Bob with a feeling of survivor's guilt.

When Dawn received reports of gunshots from one of her lookouts, she assigned Bob to investigate, along with Shepherd. Following the shots, they eventually found Noah, who they cornered and began taking into custody. Before they could, the two were confronted by Rick and his group, who had them surrender their weapons and bound their wrists. However, another officer, Licari, surprised the group and gave Bob and Shepherd and opportunity to escape. The attempt was short lived, as the car got stuck in the charred evacuation zone, and all three officers were captured.

Bob and the other officers were taken to a warehouse Rick used as a base of operations. He expressed that he wanted to resolve the issue of Beth and Carol without violence, and offered to tell Rick about Dawn in order to smooth the future negotiations.

Bob later lamented to Sasha about seeing an undead Tyler at the evacuation point, and she offered to put him down for the officer. However, as she took aim at the walker, Bob forcefully ran into her, knocking her unconscious, and fled the building.
