Lennie James's Morgan recently crossed over from The Walking Dead to Fear the Walking Dead, but some have wondered if the crossover could be short-lived. Morgan mentioned his intent to return back to Virginia and see his friends again, including Rick Grimes, in Fear's mid-season premiere "People Like Us."Speaking to EW , showrunner Ian Goldberg discussed just how much Morgan has changed this season. The character started out as someone who thought it'd be best to live in a ravaged world alone rather than to be with those close to him. Since then, however, Morgan has changed and is now more willing than ever to be around people."That changed over the first half of the season, and by the end of the half of our season 4, he’s sitting around a campfire with people — some of whom were friends, some were foes that became friends," Goldberg said, discussing Morgan's dramatic change."It was an unexpected turn of events for Morgan. But there is still a big part of Morgan that is connected to the people he left behind."But, according to Goldberg, while Morgan might want to return to Alexandria, the journey to get there won't be easy, and his arc on Fear the Walking Dead is far from over."Our focus has been, obviously, on Fear the Walking Dead, and what we can tell you is that Morgan has a long, long journey to go on Fear the Walking Dead, and the journey that he speaks about in 409 about going to Alexandria is a part of it — but his arc on this show is far from over," Goldberg told THR The Walking Dead returns this fall.
