With more deaths inevitably on the way in the delayed season 10 finale on AMC, The Walking Dead fans are currently gearing up for which surprises lies ahead between Beta (played by Ryan Hurst) and the likes of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). However, fans will be all too familiar with the group worming their way out of imminent danger before, none more so than when it came to taking on the Saviors a few seasons ago. One man who wasn’t so lucky to survive, however, was Hilltop fighter Tobin (Jason Douglas).
Under the orders of Hilltop leader Maggie (Lauren Cohan), the community readied itself from an attack by the Saviours in season eight, episode 13.
The episode, titled Do Not Send Us Away, saw Hilltop come under heavy fire as Negan’s deputy Simon (Steven Ogg) closed in with his army.
However, the group were well-equipped to deal with the attack, setting up traps for the Saviors to walk into, forcing them to retreat.
The TWD battle wasn’t without its fair share of casualties, however, and sadly for everyone, especially Carol (Melissa McBride), Tobin was stabbed by one of the enemy soldiers.

The Walking Dead season 11: Jeffrey Dean Morgan gives worrying update
Tobin bowed out of the AMC series after four seasons on the show, having first appeared back in season five.
After he was stabbed, he quickly turned into a Walker and had to be killed by Carol, ruling out any form of a possible return to the show.
However, actor Jason has no spoken out about Tobin’s death and admitted he was left rather “envious” of his co-stars who were able to star in spin-off series, Fear the Walking Dead.
Speaking to Fandom Spotlite, the actor revealed he’d been drawn to “Texas-based” projects in recent times, which prompted the interviewer to reply: “It’s a shame your character in Walking Dead died because it would actually make sense for you to be with the Texas group in Fear [The Walking Dead]…”
The former TWD star agreed: “It would make so much sense!
“I would love for that to have happened.
“I’m so… I’m envious in a good way, don’t misunderstand me,
“But when I think about Austin Amelio [Dwight], he’s a Texas guy, he’s literally from Austin! Austin from Austin.”
He continued: “So you know he’s going home at night, he’s sleeping in his own bed and seeing his kids in the morning before he goes to set, how amazing is that?
“So yeah, I missed that one by a season or two I guess.”
Nevertheless, Jason added he still bears no hard feelings about bowing out of the series.
The TWD star concluded: “I had a good run, I can’t complain. I was in 25 episodes on The Walking Dead!”
