“	When someone does you a favor, it's a courtesy to show some appreciation.	„
	~ Gorman implying to Beth that he wants a sexual reward for saving her.

Gorman is a survivor of the outbreak in Season 5 of AMC's The Walking Dead and a minor antagonist. He's also the main antagonist of the episode "Slabtown".

He was portrayed by Cullen Moss.

Personality[]

Gorman is described as "A casual, charming intellectual. He's quick with a witty remark as he is with a snide comment. Despite his intelligence and amiable façade, he suffers from an innate insecurity that makes him weak and self-serving." He seems to sexually abuse the women that are brought in and must remain to "work off" their debts for being cared for. He also talks of taking power, indicating he wanted to toss Dawn out of her position as head at the hospital.

History[]

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Little is known for sure about Gorman's life before the Walker outbreak, but what is known is that he was a police officer sent to Grady Memorial hospital to evacuate the sick but ended up staying their to protect who he can. Given his perverted nature towards Beth, it can also be assumed that he used his power as a police officer to manipulate and sexually abuse as many women as he wanted possibly even before the outbreak.

The Walking Dead[]

In the episode 4 of season 5 titled "Slabtown", Gorman appears as Beth is getting food from the cafeteria, and he informs her that he was the one who found and saved her. He reminds her that everything costs something as she gets her food and suggests that she be a bit friendlier.

Gorman walks into Beth's room as she is searching for the lollipop that Noah gave her, with it in his mouth. “Lost something?” He offers Beth a taste, which she refuses, and he forcefully pushes it into her mouth. Dr. Edwards arrives and stops Gorman before he can do anymore. “Girl should’ve been mine,” Gorman says. Edwards tells him that no one belongs to him. Dawn comes by and Gorman threatens Edwards by saying Dawn won't always be in charge before leaving the room.

Gorman walks into Dawn's office just as Beth finds the spare elevator key. He offers to keep quiet if Beth will be "friendly". She looks over and sees Joan reanimating into a walker. She pretends to go along with it and then smashes him over the head with a lollipop jar, knocking him to the ground where he's bitten in the jugular by Joan. As she is leaving, she passes Dawn in the hallway and tells her Gorman was headed towards her office. As Beth and Noah escape, screams can be heard from Dawn's office.

When Beth is caught trying to escape and brought into Dawn's office, Gorman's body can be seen on the floor.
