The Walking Dead Season 7: Ranking Every Major Character From Worst To Best

Gregory is the leader of the Hilltop in name, but he doesn't really do a whole lot of leading in Season 7.

Mostly he exists to get in the way of any possible fightback against the Saviours, constantly bending over backwards to accommodate them as best he can. This leads to a few fun scenes with Simon (though a lot of that is down to Steven Ogg's performance), but means Gregory hits a lot of the same beats over and over again.

It could be presented as an interesting moral quandary that he's struggling with, but generally he's just shown as a weasel, and that's he's wrong and Rick/Maggie etc are right. Xander Berkeley is talented, but can only take that so far.
