The Walking Dead Gabriels murder of Dante was foreshadowed in dark church clue from first appearance – The Sun

FATHER Gabriel shocked The Walking Dead viewers when he stabbed Dante to death in the midseason finale.

The pastor dished out some divine retribution after giving a speech about second chances to the Whisperer spy, who had strangled Alexandrian doctor Siddiq after his cover was blown.

Dantes goading appeared to get the better of Gabriel, who broke down in tears immediately after the murder.

However, show boss Angela Kang pointed out that Gabriel has always been capable of brutality.

Long term fans of the show will remember that his origins story when the outbreak hit was decidedly heartless.

Gabriel was found alone in his chapel, having barricaded himself inside at the start of the apocalypse.

He recalled listening to his congregation screaming for help outside as they were eaten alive, but opted not to let them in, in case they brought the walkers with them.

Kang stressed that this moment paved the way for Gabriels ruthlessness in season 10.

One of the things we were playing with from the writers side is, lets not forget that this is the priest who did something pretty dark at the start of the apocalypse. He locked his own congregation out to save himself, Kang reflected.

In a lot of ways, so much of his story has been about trying to redeem himself for that. But that says that there is something in him that is capable of darkness, you know? she continued to Entertainment Weekly.

And so we thought that it was interesting to explore that with this character as hes feeling pushed from all sides and just to realize that he feels, as a leader of this community, he has failed his people and hes failed somebody that he considers family. And what could that force you to do?

Nonetheless, Gabriels actions appeared to impress Rosita, who was the first to discover Dantes murder.

When she stumbled across him standing over Siddiqs corpse, she attacked him with a knife, before disposing of the newly-risen walker Siddiq, who about to eat his own baby daughter Coco.

Kang said that as a couple, Gabriel and Rosita have to contend with generational differences, which mean they dont always see eye to eye.

However, Gabriels quest for vengeance resonated with Rosita, who broke down at Siddiqs funeral.

The fact that Gabriel took care of business with Dante is something that oddly makes her feel close to him in that moment, Kang noted.

Because yeah, Rosita does have a little bit of that lone wolf streak in her shes not necessarily opposed to vigilante justice.

Elsewhere in the episode Carol and the gang found themselves trapped underground with a herd on walkers after being led astray by Alpha.

The Walking Dead will return to FOX and NOW TV in February.
