Star Andrew Lincoln reveals he and Jeffrey Dean Morgan 'got to hit' the season 7 premiere director Greg Nicotero with Lucille and it was filmed on camera.

AceShowbiz - "The Walking Dead" stars went through a hard time filming the brutal killings in the seventh season premiere. They explored their darkest fears to express raw emotion and show what their characters were feeling when losing their family members.

But the cast had their revenge on executive producer Greg Nicotero, who directed the season 7 premiere. Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes, reveals that they filmed Nicotero's death scene on the set as payback.

"Me and Jeffrey [Dean Morgan] got to hit Greg Nicotero in the head with Lucille, which was our payback for such a horrible endurance test that he put us through," Lincoln tells ComicBook.com. "That is on film."

The sequence was shot by the crew's camera as well as on Nicotero's phone. "It was amazing," Lincoln adds, "I said, 'Don't you ever put me through this again you son of a gun,' and then hit him with the bat."

Still, it's not as relieving as killing the show's current villain, Negan. "Obviously I would have preferred if it was Jeffrey but I'll have to speak to the writers maybe, maybe some way down the road that's going to happen," Lincoln says.

"The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 P.M. ET on AMC.
