TV Guide got a chance to sit down with Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman for an interview earlier this week.  In the interview Kirkman talks about Lori’s pregnancy and how she is going to be dealing with that, whether or not the baby is Rick or Shane’s and how it’s going to affect the dynamic between Rick, Shane, and Lori, and the Greene Family, among other things.

Lori is pregnant! How is she going to deal with this revelation?
Robert Kirkman: It’s definitely a terrifying thing to consider in this world with the state of things, it’s like going back to pioneer days and having to worry about how you’re going to give birth and how you’re going to survive the pregnancy. This is a very complicated process in modern times, it requires a lot of interaction with doctors and none of that stuff is available, so it’s going to be terrifying for her.

The big question is whether the baby is Rick’s or Shane’s. How is that going to affect the dynamic among the three of them in particular?
Kirkman: This is going to be a catalyst for Shane. Once he finds out about this, assuming he does find out about this, he’s going to react pretty strongly to this. His whole reason for worrying about Lori and Carl (Chandler Riggs) is that they’ve become a surrogate family for them. If he believes this baby is going to be his, that’s just going to solidify his state with this family. It’s definitely going to throw a wrench in the whole love triangle thing that’s going on.

Is Lori’s pregnancy what Jenner had whispered to Rick at the CDC in the Season 1 finale?
Kirkman: [Laughs] I can’t say. That remains to be seen. All I can say is that it’ll definitely be revealed this season. We’re getting close to the midpoint of the season, so the likelihood of it being in the first half is looking pretty slim.

Will Rick start to clue in to what’s going on with the tension between Lori and Shane?
Kirkman: Yeah, definitely. The thing is: We never want our main character to seem like he’s stupid. That’s not something we ever want to do. The audience has been aware of this affair since the very beginning of the show. Rick is a police officer, so I would suspect that he might start catching on to things sooner rather than later.
