Gilbert Evans is a minor non-speaking character in The Last Ones.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Details about Gilbert's early life is fairly scarce but it was mentioned that as a child, he and his friends found an unexploded bomb in a field near his house and they decided to play with it. At some point as a young man, he married Joyce, and they remained together until their deaths. It's been stated that the couple were fairly wealthy and did well for themselves as they had a big house in Winterhodge Hollow. An extended family was also mentioned, but haven't been seen.
Gilbert and Joyce became good friends with Peter and Lorna Thompson and used to babysit their children Milo and Beatrice. Gilbert used to tell Lorna and the kids stories about when he was growing up, which horrified Joyce, who always wondered how he ever lived long enough for them to get married.
Post Apocalypse[]
Season One[]
Not So Sleepy Hollow[]
Gilbert is first as a zombie chasing his wife Joyce towards the Thompson family home. Lorna lets her inside and shuts Gilbert out, who continues to remain outside the house, desperate for flesh. Joyce reveals to Lorna that she feels sick and that Gilbert managed to take a small bite on her fingers before she managed to get away.
Fight For Survival[]
Joyce is cared for by Lorna as Gilbert remains wandering outside the house until he is shot and put down by Henry Jones.
Every Inch Of Life[]
Henry and Sean O'Hara prepare to burn the bodies outside the Thompson house but Lorna requests that Gilbert's corpse be left alone so that he can be buried alongside Joyce when she passes away.
At the end of the episode, Joyce dies.
The Acorn[]
Gilbert and Joyce are buried in the episode following Joyce's death. They have a joint funeral alongside Ollie Graham, the former leader of the group Peter took in. Lorna leads the tributes to the couple and Sean also says a few words.
