Yeah, there's no way I see that happening. That would be terrible. I was sad to see Beth go, but she's dead. Bringing her back with some kind of fake-out would be horrible for the integrity of the show. Plus, as has been said, they've already filmed further ahead. They're not going back and re-doing multiple episodes because fans are upset a nice character died. The world of the show IS a nightmarish existence where characters WILL die, even nice ones. Kind of reminds me of when Lori was telling Rick that maybe it would be better if they let Carl slip away before Hershel operated on him. She asked "why would it be better for him to continue living in this world?" He wouldn't have to be afraid anymore, he wouldn't have to worry about being torn apart, she wouldn't worry that he survives but ultimately becomes a monster because of what it will take to survive in this world. A fair point. Rick ultimately said it was better that he live, even in this world, because when he came to he "talked about the deer", not about getting shot, but about the deer. That they still had to have hope for some kind of joy or light in this life. An understandable point as well. Though remember, at this point in season 2 he had only been living in this new world for a week or so. Perspectives change with experience, and he may feel differently now. But Beth is gone. Let her be at peace.
