The Walking Dead season 8 episode 11: Fans are convinced writers have forgotten huge moment from seasons ago following 'hypocritical' character action

Fans are calling out of one of the show's leading characters for their recent actions

The Walking Dead fans are convinced the writers may have forgotten one huge moment from the show's past following a certain character's “hypocritical” actions in the latest episode.

Season 8 episode 'Dead Or Alive Or' saw Tara (Alanna Masterson) dead set on killing Negan's former right-hand man Dwight (Austin Amelio) who recently defected to join Rick and company in the war against The Saviours. He was the one who killed Tara's girlfriend Denise back in season 7.

Now while it makes sense for Tara to be baying for Dwight's blood, fans are pointing out that when Tara was introduced all the way back in season 4, she was on the side of former villain The Governor (David Morrissey) - and even stood with him during the prison showdown which saw him decapitate Hershel (Scott Wilson) in front of his children, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Beth (Emily Kinney).

Tara, not knowing she was fighting for such a maniac, immediately saw the error in her choice and ended up defecting to Rick's side after Glenn offered her mercy and saved her life.

“You don't switch sides and make it okay,” Tara says in the AMC series' latest episode - something which sparked fan frustration.

Dwight, however, remains in danger with actor Amelio warning fans to “be worried” for him.

The Walking Dead season 8 continues on AMC every Sunday with the UK premiere arriving the next evening on FOX as well as being available to stream on NOW TV.
