Last night’s episode of The Walking Dead continued the saga of Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) taking on Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
Although the instalment ramped up the tension by putting Rick and Negan at risk of zombie attack within the basement, the pair parted untouched.
But as the feud continued, the group were introduced to a brand new character, Georgie (Jayne Atkinson).
Georgie reminded many The Walking Dead fans of a certain comic book antagonist.
Viewers have begun pointing out that Georgie strongly resembles Pamela Milton, the leader of the Commonwealth.
Georgie’s entrance lead fans to begin theorising that the show will now start introducing the group, who were originally based in Ohio.
The Commonwealth is a group that holds 50,000 people, and was only introduced into The Walking Dead’s comic book in November last year.
Pamela was introduced even more recently, as she debuted in volume 176 last month.
If Georgie really is the leader of the Commonwealth, could her power have something to do with the end of Negan’s reign?
Alternatively, Georgie may be revealed as Rick’s next antagonist following Negan.
Speaking to Insider, Jayne discussed the character: “I found a character that I thought she might be like in the Walking Dead lore, but this is definitely Scott [Gimple’s] brainchild and I was told that she might possibly have been a professor.
“There’s a picture of [Pamela], my son showed it to me, she looks a little like I would look on House of Cards, almost presidential or some sort of leadership position.
“But her name isn’t Georgie, so that could be just a red herring.”
Fans spoke out on Twitter to point out Georgie’s resemblance to Pamela.
One wrote: “Georgie is Pamela of the Commonwealth Community #TheWalkingDead #TalkingDead @WalkingDead_AMC @AMCTalkingDead.”
While another added: “This lady looks just like the Commonwealth leader Pamela Milton they just introduced in the comics. If this is her then this is way too early to be introducing them. #TheWalkingDead.”
The Walking Dead airs Monday on Fox UK at 9pm.
