"The Walking Dead director David Boyd has dropped new hints about the show&amp;#039;s second season. On the AMC blog, Boyd revealed that events will begin to take their toll on Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies). &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s kept her s**t together through Rick (Andrew Lincoln) getting wounded and all that stuff, but she&amp;#039;s starting to come apart a little bit,&amp;quot; he said. Boyd, who worked as a cinematographer on the AMC drama&amp;#039;s first season, will direct the seventh episode of the new season. &amp;quot;By the end of [that] episode [Lori] and Rick put it all out there,&amp;quot; he said. Boyd also revealed that episode seven will see Andrea (Laurie Holden) take on a more action-oriented role. &amp;quot;Episode 207 is cool in that we see that Andrea, this girl can shoot, man,&amp;quot; he hinted. Frank Darabont recently stepped down as showrunner on The Walking Dead, with reports suggesting that he was fired after objecting to budget cuts. Cutbacks to the show&amp;#039;s budget are believed to be a result of the new $10 million (\u00A36.1m)-per-season budget allocated to AMC&amp;#039;s Mad Men. The Walking Dead will return to AMC in the US and FX in the UK in October. &amp;gt; Walking Dead gets pre-zombie flashback Watch a trailer for season two of The Walking Dead below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
