The cast and crew of AMC's "The Walking Dead" are currently in Atlanta filming Season 5 of the zombie-apocalypse show. Every day there seems to be a new rumor or potential spoiler leaked and according to the latest Internet buzz Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) was spotted filming in front of a green screen/using a green screen arm.

According to Wetpaint, the rumor was originated on Twitter after The Walking Dead (@Walking_News) posted, "Andrew Lincoln {Rick Grimes} has been testing with a Green Screen arm... Comic fans, I hope you know what this could mean!"

There were no pictures to back up the tweet and it's not clear where @Walking_News got the information from, but several sites claim it's nothing more than a rumor. In the comic book, Rick does lose a hand after getting into a fight with The Governor (who was killed last season) but we don't think the tweet should be taken too seriously.

Robert Kirkman was on "The Writer's Room" and actually talked about whether Rick would lose a limb in Season 5 and basically told fans it wouldn't happen.

"I like the fact that he lost his hand in the comic," Kirkman said. "To be perfectly honest, the practical difficulties of having a guy who doesn't have a hand is extremely complicated in the comic and would be impossible on the show. Because the comic book doesn't move. For instance, in a recent issue... Rick is standing on top of a truck. It would take him quite a while to climb on top of a truck with one hand, but we just show him standing on a truck. And you're reading that comic, and you're like, 'There he is on that truck.'"

Kirkman's comment makes a lot of sense. Rick wouldn't be "Bad-ass Rick" anymore if he only had one hand, right? However, the comic book writer then teased, "Spoiler alert: In Season 5 he loses his hand..."

In the video, everyone started laughing so we're going to assume that Kirkman wasn't serious.

Do you think Rick should lose his hand on "The Walking Dead"?
