First, I think it's important to note that when Lennie James was on Talking Dead he stated that he was shooting the next morning. A lot of people were commenting that he looked upset or angry, but he was probably just in his character's head preparing for another several weeks of shooting. Filming for The Walking Dead also JUST ENDED recently so him saying his goodbyes to Melissa likely weren't a slip up, but him actually remembering their final shooting days.
The Gimple hate train also should be stopped. Season 3 was a scorching success in terms of storytelling compared to the previous seasons. With Walking Dead's popularity tapering off since Negan arrives, they are taking the opportunity to tell a new story without being limited by the comics. Bringing Gimple in to help the show grow is a brilliant idea. He wrote some hugely memorable and iconic episodes like "A," "The Grove," "No Sanctuary," "What Happened and What's Going On," "First Time Again," and "Here's Not Here." Those are literally 6 of the top 10 episodes episodes from the most incredible bulk of the show (seasons 4 - 6). The fact that the show isn't as ingaging more has more to do with comic book adaptability than it does Gimple's ability to lead.
His movement from Producer to Supervising Producer brought us to and through the Prison arc with the Governor, which was also one of the defining seasons for the show, and probably the season that afforded TWD with the huge fanbase that it has.
Gimple also had the honor of writing Morgan back into the show and he wrote "Clear." It should have been obvious Lenny would follow him to the new show. He's been getting him checks for years.
I'd love if this sub didn't turn into a hatefest like TWD sub whenever people have set themselves up for disappointment.
Last, there are tons of ways to move Morgan to Fear. We don't know that he's moving to the show forever, and Gimple has stated very vividly that he's not leaving TWD because there's more story to tell. Morgan could simply be in a series of flashbacks that helps explain the backstory for one of the character. Strand is from the South and could have a connection with Morgan as Morgan worked in construction and Strand worked in real estate investment. Just a shot in the dark, but if you have paid attention to the show I'm sure there are some connections you could make. He could also be Jenny's brother.
Since we know Morgan is filming in Texas where Fear characters are expected to move, we have to assume there is a time jump. It's literally the only explanation unless Morgan is exclusively featured in flashbacks. It's tough to imagine a 2 year jump, so the flashbacks are more likely... but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
In the meantime, let's be optimistic about the show direction and try to solve the mystery.
