Fear The Walking Dead brought its most shocking moment yet Sunday night when it killed off Nick (Frank Dillane) after three seasons as a lead character.
Videos by ComicBook.com
The series looked to be establishing a friendship and student-teacher relationship between Nick and Morgan, whose teachings were handed down to him in season six of The Walking Dead.
Nick’s surprising death came in the final moments of the episode at the tiny hands of Vulture mole Charlie, who shot Nick as he contemplated a path forward โ one that possibly would have seen him adopting Morgan’s Aikido-based “all life is precious” philosophy.
The twist came as a surprise for fans, who took to social media to express their shock, grief, and outrage over Fear‘s latest major casualty:

I can’t deal with what just happen. You first kill Carl off TWD. Now you kill nick off FTWD. What next will Morgan get killed or the rest of the main cast of FTWD get killed. Please Stop killing the good characters off. ?#FearTWD #FearTheWalkingDead

Killing Nick on Fear The Walking Dead is like killing Rick on The Walking Dead… the worst decision the writers could have ever possibly made for the series…………. #FearTWD …………..

Killing off Nick has the be the biggest mistake Fear has ever made. He was an incredible well developed character and his death was just unnecessary.. #FearTWD
