I might be the only one, but I'm actually glad old characters don't show up in sequels. For one, it just seems incredibly unlikely for a real life scenario to take place, but also because it helps show the massive scale the zombie apocalypse by showing different groups in different areas at different times.
Plus, it's cool (at least to me) to not know what happens to any of the survivors after the credits roll. I love that we don't know if Peter and Fran's helicopter had enough gas to make it anywhere.

Yeah otherwise you get George Lucas syndrome by shoe-horning in characters from prequels/sequels you make the universe the movie is set in all that much more smaller.
I do like the sprinkling of ambiguity GAR leaves at the end though. You can imagine your own final resolution for the characters.

That is a good point. Plus, if you have characters overlapping into different films, the films become about the charcters and not the zombies. We pay attention to the characters in the individual film but as a whole we are still there to watch the zombie thing unfold. My .02 |
