    Wade Morrow is one of the more mysterious characters in Yellowstone as fans are yet to find out about his history.

    He is one of John Dutton's (played by Kevin Costner) neighbouring ranchers and he was known to have had a feud with Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) over cattle.

    They may have had their fair share of rows in the past, but Wade is a well-known acquaintance of John and fans are curious to know how deep their relationship goes.

    Some fans have gone as far as to suggest Wade is actually Jamie Dutton's (Wes Bentley) biological father, and they are waiting to see if season four reveals more information.

    Wade's character first appeared in season three, episode five of Yellowstone, and he is played by actor Boots Southerland.

    Southerland has a huge fanbase online and many of his friends have praised him for his work on Twitter. One said: "Just watched my friend #BootsSoutherland get killed by #JavierBardem in #NoCountryForOldMen. Nice death scene #Boots!"

    But what fans are most excited for is the ultimate showdown between Wade Morrow and John Dutton's family in season four of Yellowstone.

    Another fan added: "Still intrigued by the Wade Morrow thing...that's a serious fight waiting to happen."

    Fans know how ruthless Wade can be after he set some horses loose on Colby (Denim Richards) and Teeter (Jen Landon), leaving them both severely injured.

    Some viewers think there will definitely be more rivalry between the two families in season four, with one saying on Reddit: "We know Wade Morrow worked for John and that didn't end well.

    "So in Season three we see Wade antagonize John and his cowboys by pulling stupid s***, but did he really think that what he did to Colby and Teeter was going to go unanswered?

    "He had the brand, he knew how it worked and still didn't prepare. Was he cocky or just plain stupid?"

    The Yellowstone cast talked fans through one of the Yellowstone episodes for Paramount Network, and actor Hauser said: "Wade is obviously an old friend or an old worker I should say, of Yellowstone."

    Forrie J Smith, who plays Lloyd Pierce, added: "Wade left this, so he is a traitor. He should have stayed gone. You don't tread on somebody and turn on him and then come back, and that's what he does.

    "He comes back and he goes to work for our enemies, and rubs it in John Dutton's face."

    Wade continues to give the opposing side background information on John Dutton, and he starts to act as intel for them.

    Fans will be waiting to see whether Wade was involved in the attacks on the Dutton family at the end of season three.
