The Walking Dead: 10 Twists You Never Saw Coming

10. Eugene Was Lying All Along

Eugene was introduced at a very interesting point in the show. The group had lost their home, had been split up and were truly at the lowest they had ever been. This is when the writers decided to introduce Eugene, a man who claimed to be a scientists with the ability to end the undead pandemic that had overtaken the world. It offered the characters a glimmer of hope after so much had already been lost.

While this storyline had already been explored in the comics and Eugene had been revealed to be a liar, not everyone had read the source material. Even some comic fans began to wonder if the show would take a huge turn from the source material and make it so Eugene was telling the truth. After all, they had already introduced the CDC in the first season.

But this was not the case and Eugene revealed himself to be a liar in season five. Any hope of the undead nightmare coming to an end was nothing more than a pipe dream, and just served to knock down the group once more. After everything that had happened, audiences really thought it might be time for the group to catch a break. Sadly they were wrong.
