Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you're not caught up with "The Walking Dead."
“The Walking Dead” fans were eagerly surprised Sunday night when a fan favorite finally joined the cast.
Toward the start of the episode, Daryl and Rick ran into a long-haired, shaggy man by the name of Paul Rovia.
But comic fans know him better as Jesus.
Tom Payne ("Luck") was cast in the role back in September, and since then fans have been waiting to see him pop up on "The Walking Dead," especially after set photos leaked of him filming.
Fans were more than excited to finally see him join the show.

Who is the character and will he be a threat to our survivors?
Who is Jesus?
Though Jesus said he was out in the world alone, that wasn't true at all.
Jesus — or Paul Monroe as he's known in the comics — is a member of a different community called the Hilltop. He was first introduced in comic issue #91.
Unlike other people Rick and his crew have come into contact out in the open, Paul isn't a big threat to the group, but he shouldn't be underestimated.
Well-versed in martial arts, Jesus is probably one of the most rational and level-headed men in the apocalypse. Similar to Daryl, Paul goes on runs for his Hilltop community so that's why we see him out on the road at the start of season six, episode two.
Over the course of the comic series, he becomes one of the most loyal characters at Rick's disposal.
Basically, if Rick and Daryl were going to run into anyone out on the road, Jesus is the guy they'd want to come across.
