"The Walking Dead spinoff may feature a character from the original series, Inquisitr reported.
AMC's spinoff of "The Walking Dead" is in the works and it may feature a character that briefly appeared in the original series. The character is supposedly someone who was featured in an important episode during season one.
There are three top contenders who might fill this role in the companion series with the working title "Cobalt".

After the survivor's first camp was attacked by walkers, Morales decided to look for greener pastures in Alabama and left the group.

The top contender is Dr. Edwin Jenner. In season one, Jenner was the only scientist left in the Center for Disease Control. The doctor informed Rick Grimes that everyone is infected with the virus. The revelation was a shock to the group and made them feel more hopeless.
It has been confirmed that "The Walking Dead" spinoff will take place in Los Angeles. This information fueled speculations that Jenner will appear in the new series since a branch of CDC is located in Los Angeles, Christian Today reported.
