By the end of season 6, Dwight (Austin Amelio) - the former right-hand man of Saviours leader Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) - had jumped sides after fleeing the Sanctuary to provide assistance to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and company.
Since then, he's proved himself a worthy ally and episode 11 - titled 'Dead Or Alive Or' - shows Dwight staring down an uncertain future: Tara (Alanna Masterson) wants revenge for the death of Denise while Negan - with whom Dwight finds himself reunited in the episode's closing moments - will no doubt deploy some distressing wrath should he learn of his defection.
The Independent and other media outlets spoke with several Walking Dead cast members including Amelio himself who warned viewers they were right to be worried about Dwight.
“Yeah, I think he's worried. It's interesting because he's totally on a mission for revenge and I think he had some morals in the beginning, then he got used to the world and now he has some morals about getting used to the world. I think at this point now with what he's doing, he's like 'Okay, I could die at any second.'
"I think he just wants to be rid of Negan and do some good in the world. That's what he's focusing on right now. I think they're all hell-bent on trying to get some sort of peace.”
The Walking Dead season 8 continues on AMC every Sunday with the UK premiere arriving the next evening on FOX as well as being available to stream on NOW TV.
