When the crossover news came out, comic book writer/executive producer Robert Kirkman was careful not to say which show would be getting the crossover, but it always seemed like "Fear" would be getting a TWD boost. At the same time, Michael Cudlitz tweeted, "Crazy sh*t is about to go down. See y'all on the other side," leading many fans to think Abraham Ford would be the crossover character.
That was further "confirmed" -- although not yet official -- by the "Fear the Walking Dead" Season 3 finale. The season ended with Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) invited to board villain Proctor John's (Ray McKinnon) ship to "sail for what's left of Houston."

Houston is where Abe's story began on "The Walking Dead," when he was still a family man, before he met up with Rosita and Eugene for Eugene's "mission." So now fans are pretty sure that's what's up for "Fear" Season 4 -- a bittersweet trip down memory lane with our now deceased favorite ginger and his badass one-liners.
"The Walking Dead" Season 8 premieres Sunday, Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. on AMC. "Fear the Walking Dead" Season 4 doesn't have a premiere date yet, but it does have two new showrunners in Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg.
