The Abraham's Army panel welcomes Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), Christian Serratos (Rosita) and Josh McDermitt (Eugene). They all get comfortable on the couches on stage and start joking about Abraham's death.

On the subject Walker Stalker's fifth anniversary, the cast is asked what the reason is behind the success of the convention.

"Norman," McDermitt says. They all joke about Daryl dying in tonight's episode. Cudlitz is asked about the potential Fear the Walking Dead crossover. "That would be awesome," Cudlitz responds.

The cast is asked about having babies while they're on the show. Serratos says that it didn't affect her very much and Cudlitz says that the show makes him think about catastrophe and how to hold his family dear.

The floor opens for fan questions.

To Josh: Who is scarier, Gordon Ramsay or Negan?

"I would say Gordon Ramsay is way scarier than Negan. C'mon I love Negan!"

What's your favorite moment on the set?

Cudlitz: "I can answer for Josh. The moment I got killed (Laughs).

McDermitt: "They edited it out but there was a part of that scene where I asked, 'Is he dead yet?' But no there are three scenes that stick out to me. One was the death scenes because it was so difficult and we had to all work together and it was one of the toughest scenes I've ever filmed. Another was when Eugene and Abraham said goodbye because it had double meaning because I was saying goodbye to Michael. And the first scene we ever did together where the three of us got out of the truck.

"In that first episode, Abraham had this whole speech ready but for whatever reason, Michael couldn't remember the lines of that chunk of script. He kept calling them Dr. Eugene Poorman and Rosita Esponita. I remember when he was going over those lines, I looked over at Christian and said, 'Man, I wonder what the guy who didn't get the job is doing right now.'"

To Josh: In the comics, Eugene was key to winning the war. Are you bummed that Eugene hasn't shown his potential yet?

"He's been showing his potential from the moment we met him, he's the smartest guy on the show. I love that the TV took a hard right turn from the comics. I love the TV version better because we're able to flesh it out and tell it from a more emotional point of view. I love that, I'm not bummed at all."

For Michael: How did you feel when you knew you were being written off the show?

"I knew I was going to be on for about 2 years-ish. I knew it coming close to my time. We were really having fun and I knew it was about the time Abraham died. That scene where we went to the machine shop made everyone nervous because that was when he died in the comics. Scott Gimple called me over the summer. I've never had a meeting with Scott and I knew that it was going to get told I was dying. Scott admitted that I was dying and I was like, 'Cool I'll talk to you on Tuesday.' I knew what was going to happen but I didn't know exactly when. People had to start go and I knew I was on the way out. Anyone who comes on the show after Season 4 as an actor and is surprised when they find out they're going to die is an idiot."

For Josh: How did Eugene feel when Negan caught him?

"I think Eugene was scared, he definitely thought he was going to. be killed. But he also felt then that he needed to step up. He knew that he had information that would be valuable to Negan. We all do what we have to do to survive and that really aided him in that role."

Panel ends.
