How did Nick die on Fear the Walking Dead?

Nick Clark (played by Frank Dillane) dies in Season 4 Episode 3, "Good Out Here." It's slightly stunning because up until that time, he is one in all the show's most vital leading characters. Nick is Alicia's brother, Madison's son, and Luciana's boyfriend.

But in "Good Out Here," we watched as Charlie, his former love pastime, became out to be a secret agent and shot him in the chest! Then, the poor former drug addict turned altruistic neighborhood member dies in the fingers of Luciana, Alicia, and Strand who try to save him while Morgan, Althea, and John Dorie look on.

We're getting unhappy simply fascinated about his loss of life once more. Especially because he was once one in every of Fear the Walking Dead's perfect written characters, with a personable arc and an unpredictable edge. His tale will most likely proceed in the flashback scenes, however now we know they'll all lead to this tragic loss of life scene.

Why did they kill off Nick?

As it had been, Nick's death wasn't completely deliberate via the writers. Actually, it was actor Frank Dillane, 28, who asked to depart the display. "I had been playing Nick for four years and I was ready to play some different characters," he said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"The show has undergone many changes in terms of different people in charge, all of this stuff, and I just felt like the beginning of this season kind of felt like the end of an era with the show," he went on to say. "And television is hard work, and you have to shoot a lot."

"I also missed Europe very much. I'm not American, so after a while I get quite homesick and all of those things," said the British actor. "I also felt like we had achieved what needed to be achieved in the first few seasons, so I thought it was time to keep moving."

When does Fear the Walking Dead return?

Season 5 of Fear the Walking Dead is just round the corner and it promises to be a little bit extra funny than ever before,  according to the stars. "It really has a new tone," said Jenna Elfman, who performs June. 

"It's great. Have you ever seen people in crisis? They start cracking jokes," she persisted. "Garrett [Dillahunt and I], you know, we've done comedy. I think bringing some of that levity is healthy, and it also helps tell the story of the pathos more, too."

Fear the Walking Dead returns to AMC on June 2 at nine p.m. and we can't wait to see this new path they are taking the show in!
