The latest 'The Walking Dead' episode showed one of the most emotional scenes we've seen on the show in a while. In episode 8 of season 8, the last episode before the series goes on hiatus for the holidays, Carl Grimes shows his bite to Rick and Michonne. The latter two inspect the bite before regrettably rendering Carl a goner.
Scott Gimple, showrunner of the series, mentioned how "the bite is going to play out as we've seen bites play out, and it's very important to Carl's story and the entire story what happens in the next episode." Actor Chandler Riggs who plays Carl is due to make his final appearance in episode 9, which will air in February.

thank you.
you'll hear from me soon.
The actor also spoke on 'The Talking Dead' where he said, "throughout the series, Carl has been in Rick's shadow and learning from him and observing him. I think every moment throughout the series has led up to that moment with Carl commanding everyone in Alexandria to make this escape plan happen. When Carl pulls up his shirt to reveal the bite, it's a huge moment for him, for Rick, for Michonne, for everyone in the group. He's definitely happy with how things ended up with him saving all of Alexandria and making sure everyone was alive. It's going to be interesting to see what happens next".
We'll have to wait and see how father, Rick will deal with the death of his son. 'The Walking Dead' will return to Fox in the UK early 2018.
