The Walking Deads Rick Grimes had the chance to slay evil villain Negan at the end of season eight but decided to lock him up instead.
Choosing to place the ruthless character behind bars instead raised a lot of questions from both the characters friends and from the audience, but now a deleted scene from series nine has given us the answers we so desperately need.
In the footage, which appears on the Blu-ray DVD release, Rick (played by Andrew Lincoln) told Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) that he had to respect the Saviours and not avenge Negan.
Every day since I put Negan in that cell, I have this moment, usually right when I wake up, this feeling that I should go down there and kill him, [and] to keep going and finish them all [the Saviors], Rick told Carol as they walked together.

In that moment, its all I want.
The character continued: But then I remember everyone weve lost, not just to the Saviors, but the whole way.
And I know I need to honour them, to build life. Not take it. Because its us or the dead and every life counts now.
Negan reigned terror during season seven and claimed the lives of Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz), with Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Green) taking her own life in an attempt to kill him as a walker.
