"The Walking Dead&amp;#039;s Dallas Roberts has revealed that an alternate version of his character Milton&amp;#039;s death was conceived for the season finale. &amp;#039;Welcome to the Tombs&amp;#039; brought The Walking Dead&amp;#039;s third season to a close with Milton rejecting The Governor&amp;#039;s command to kill Andrea, only to be stabbed by his former friend and end up biting Andrea once he transformed into a zombie.   Roberts has now revealed to Entertainment Weekly that Milton originally faced a different death in the finale. &amp;quot;Originally, the beating scene that started the episode wasn&amp;#039;t there,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;Originally, I showed up and was led into the room where Andrea was and I took the tools out \u2013 the instruments of torture that were laid on the table - and then he shot me in the stomach, completely unexpectedly. And then I was left to bleed out in the same idea basically - you&amp;#039;re going to kill her now.&amp;quot;  Roberts went on to reveal: &amp;quot;There was a lot more of Milton trying to open the door and him trying to free her from the chains. And then there was a section where he was going to wrap the chain around the neck and try to choke her to death before he turned so she wouldn&amp;#039;t have to deal with Walker Milton, or Biter Milton, as it were. &amp;quot;And then at the end of that, it was just Tyreese and someone else who found her. Rick and Daryl and Michonne weren&amp;#039;t there. So it was essentially the same idea, except you saw me taking chunks out of Laurie Holden in that version. And then they called us back a few months later to reshoot it and made all those changes.&amp;quot;  He added: &amp;quot;So now you&amp;#039;re not sure if I&amp;#039;ve gotten her until after that door opens, and I think that&amp;#039;s probably why they did it.&amp;quot; Roberts also stressed that he understands why Milton was chosen to be one of the major characters to die in the finale. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve heard [that Milton should have survived] from several people, and I think that Milton easily could have turned into some sort of power-broker [in Woodbury now that The Governor&amp;#039;s gone], but they obviously decided The Governor was too valuable to kill right now,&amp;quot; he said. It was reported earlier in the week that David Morrissey has been contracted to play The Governor again in season four. The Walking Dead is expected to return this fall.
