TV series[]
In the television series, Earl is a Caucasian male and as the characters of Morton Rose and Brandon Rose do not exist within the show's continuity, he is the husband of Tammy Rose and their son is Ken.
In the season premiere of season nine, Ken is killed during a supply run, causing tensions between Earl, Tammy and Hilltop leader Maggie Greene. Gregory, bitter over losing the election to Maggie, uses the couple's grief and anger to get Earl drunk and persuade him to kill Maggie, though her and Enid manage to fight him off. Earl is locked up in Hilltop's jail where Gregory is executed for his actions. Earl becomes a blacksmith during the six-year time jump and mentors Henry while he and Tammy later adopt an infant son whose Whisperer mother tried to sacrifice it to walkers during Alpha's confrontation with Daryl Dixon.
