Season 4 - Casting call for Abraham, Eugene, Rosita?

According to SpoilerTV, a casting call has been released for three new characters that could possibly be Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita, who are all characters from the comic book series.

These characters are reported to debut in episode 10 of the upcoming season, and these will be recurring roles.  Just like Bob Stookey and his fake name, Roy Stark, these characters also have fake names and then we find out their actual name afterwards.  Here are the three new recurring roles:

John Tyler - Early 30's, vulgar with rough edges but wise.
Wayne Kesey - Early 30's. Very smart and an experienced liar.
Jordana Barraza - Late 20's tough hispanic and beautiful. Shamed about her past.

Based on the descriptions, I think there's a 95% chance that this is Abraham, Eugene and Rosita.  The ages are about right and Rosita being Hispanic makes sense.  In addition, Wayne Kesey sounds a lot like Eugene because he is smart and an experienced liar in the comic books.  So these three characters really sound a lot like Abraham, Eugene and Rosita.

If this is true, I'm excited to see them in season four from episode 10 until the season finale.  This must mean that part of Rick's group will be leaving the prison with a few others like Rick and Carl staying at the prison. I'd like to see the group split up because you could have many storylines going on all at one time.  You can have one or two splinter groups away from the prison, a group at the prison, and the Governor's storyline.

I think we'll see Abraham, Eugene and Rosita debut in a similar fashion to how we met them in the comics.  I think they'll meet up with the others back at Hershel's farm or they'll meet up with one of splinter groups on the road.  If they do meet up with Rick's group, they could all head to Washington D.C. like in the comic books.  It'll be interesting to see how we come across these new characters.

It does look like season four will stick to the comic books more then any other season.  Everything I saw in the trailer involving Tyreese looked like it was pulled right out of the comic books, like when he was surrounded by walkers, and Michonne tracking down the Governor is also very similar to the comic books.  But I hope they create more storylines that aren't straight from the comic books because readers of the comics already know what happens and who dies.  Adding new storylines would definitely make the show more surprising not just for comic book readers, but for everyone.

So tell me what you think about possibly seeing Abraham, Eugene and Rosita in season four.  Is it too early to bring them in? How will they debut? Do you like the idea of Rick's group splitting up. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.
