Fear the Walking Dead: Jenna Elfman Season 7 Homework; John Dorie, Sr.

It's been a pretty sweet month for fans of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead, between Jenna Elfman (June Dorie) updating viewers that work had moved on to S07E03 and co-showrunner Ian Goldberg offering some interesting takes on what we've seen and what that means for what's to come in Season 7 as well as a first-look at a post-nuclear blast walker (more on that in a minute). For today, we're revisiting both Elfman and Goldberg to check in on how the Dories are doing and will be doing in the future.

First up, Goldberg offered some insight during a post-Season 6 finale interview on the TWD's Twitch channel as to what Season 7 could be looking like for Keith Carradine's John Dorie, Sr., now that he's dealing with the guilt of "now twice that he has not been able to stop Teddy [John Glover] from doing horrible things." While keeping specifics under lock and key, Goldberg does see John Dorie, Sr. as being a major player moving forward. "Without getting too far into where we're planning in season 7, he is going to play a major role in the show going forward. You see in the finale that he ends up in the bunker with June, the bunker that Teddy built for himself. He came a long way this season in terms of facing his past demons, his past ghosts, dealing with abandoning his son, and then reconciling the death of his son and saying goodbye, and forgiving himself with June," Goldberg explained. Now we have Elfman checking in from set via Instagram Stories to let us know she's keeping up on her Fear TWD "homework."

Now here's a look at the complete interview, with aspects of the new season touched upon throughout but with a strong focus in the last ten minutes. Some examples? Goldberg finds the "if there's no body then they're still alive" concept (asked in regards to Kim Dickens' Madison possible returning) an "interesting rule." Also, find out why Goldberg says the new season will "look like a whole different show" and "feels like a different planet" in what Goldberg and co-showrunner Andrew Chambliss are calling the "biggest reinvention" of the show yet:
