While much has been made of the West Georgia Correctional Facility being the big new locale for season 3 of The Walking Dead, plenty of action will also be taking place just a few miles away in the town of Woodbury, GA. And who better to provide intel on said town than the man who runs it? We sat down with the actor who plays the Governor, David Morrissey, to get his take on a place that may not be as wonderful as it seems on the surface.

“It’s an oasis in this madness,” says Morrissey. “Although it looks like a fortress, there’s aspects of it that look very idyllic, which are idyllic in this world. That comes at a cost.” What that cost is remains to be seen, but we already know that Andrea and Michonne will end up at the town, and that a confrontation will eventually take place between the prison and Woodbury contingents. So not everything is hunky-dory. To hear more from Morrissey on what to expect from Woodbury, check out the video below. And for more Walking Dead scoop, follow me on Twitter @DaltonRoss.

The Food Network won’t be the only place to turn for slicing and dicing this fall as The Walking Dead welcomes the sword-wielding Michonne when season 3 kicks off on AMC on Oct. 14. A fan favorite from the comic book (and glimpsed briefly in the season 2 finale) Michonne is known for dragging along two armless, jawless zombie “Pets” on chains and carrying around a bitchin’ katana sword she uses to remove zombies from their heads.

We caught up with the woman who plays Michonne, Danai Gurira, at our EW photo shoot to ask what it’s like to get to swing that sucker around, and how the sword helps define her character. “It became of an extension for her of many things,” says Gurira. “Of a rebirth into a new world. Not the world than anyone would ever want, but one that she’s damn sure gonna make sure she survives in — and thrives in.”

Norman Reedus’ Walking Dead character of Daryl Dixon is a bit different from the rest, and not just because he wields a kick-ass crossbow and can empty the remains of a zombie’s stomach. Unlike Rick, Lori, Andrea, Glenn and the others, the character of Daryl was not imported from the comic book on which the TV show is based. And the man who plays Daryl, Norman Reedus, says he likes the fact that his character is completely unique to the television version. “Not being a character from the comic book is kind of cool for me because I can do what I want to a certain extent, “ says Reedus. “I can sleep with everyone. I can kill everyone. I don’t know when I’ll die.” READ FULL STORY »
