Fans of The Walking Dead are already aware that Morgan (played by Lennie James) will be starring in season four of Fear the Walking Dead.
Now it has been revealed that three more stars from The Walking Dead are joining him in the hugely popular prequel series.
In the upcoming episode, Morgan is greeted by a host of familiar faces at a location once held by Jadis and Scavengers.
The much-loved character is then begged by Paul ‘Jesus’ Monroe ( Tom Payne) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) to return to the Kingdom and be with the people he cares most about.
Morgan is then badgered by none other that Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), the former Deputy Sheriff reminds him that he once saved his life.
“I wouldn’t be here if it isn’t for you,” said Rick. “I was hurt. You brought me in. You didn’t have to.”
Of course, Rick has hopes of showing Morgan the same level of compassion he showed him, adding: “You are hurt. Come back with me. Don’t wait this time.
“Don’t waste one more second of your life. You’re part of the world. I’m here now — a lot of people are here now — because you helped me right at the beginning.”
Morgan will then tell Rick that he is not the same person he used to be before running off.
Writer Scott M. Gimple spoke to Entertainment Weekly about filming the scene with Morgan and The Walking Dead characters.
“It was super easy to shoot because this takes place after [the events of The Walking Dead season finale],” he said.
He added: “We did it before the end of Walking Dead because the productions of the series did overlap. So it was unbelievably easy.”
Scott went on to say that Lincoln, Melissa and Tom were thrilled to make an appearance in the other show.
“That trio has a great deal of love for Mr. Lennie James,” Scott explained.
“So I think it was harder to not have more people do it because people want to come out and support Lennie James and tell a great story with Morgan.
“So that wasn’t one of the more difficult things on this show.”
Scott also said that the Rick, Carol and Jesus appearances were essential in telling Morgan’s story, saying: “It was there simply because it has everything to do with Morgan’s story.
“Those exchanges he has in that scene really do affect him deeply and play out into the entire season of the show.
“The conversation that Rick and Morgan have is super-important to the whole season of Fear of the Walking Dead. It wasn’t just a goodbye, it was a seminal moment in Morgan’s life.”
Fear the Walking Dead returns on Monday, April 23.
