When a new character shows up on The Walking Dead, theyre usually doomed to one of two fates: being a shifty so-and-so thats going to trick or otherwise come up against the group, or theyre going to be walker fodder pretty quickly. Occasionally somebody breaks through and gets to join Rick and his pals for a time, but for the most part, a new addition to the cast is either somebody whos going to be knocked off or be an antagonist. Which is why it was rather refreshing that not every new character who turned up in Slabtown was a total psychopath. Most of them were, obviously, but there were a few good uns in the mix to keep that low flickering flame in humanity from being extinguished. Dawn was a complete nutter (more on that sooner rather than later), as was the majority of her "staff", but a couple of roses were visible amongst the thorns. Dr Steven Edwards may have had some questionable methods for survival but, ultimately, he seemed like a genuinely empathetic soul - chatting to Beth about Caravaggio, letting her eat some of his roast guinea pig - hey, times are tough - and never asking for anything in return, which was out of step with the rest of the group. Noah too was a decent sort, even more so than the good doctor, which is a surprisingly sunny twosome for The Walking Dead.
