Look, Walking Dead fans, there’s just no way around it: Someone — maybe more than one someone — is gonna die before the Season 6 finale ends, and all hints point to it, or they, being a major member of Rick Grimes’s group.
Rick himself, star Andrew Lincoln, has even said he was made physically ill by the events of the Season 6 ender, so we know some serious, even tragic events go down upon the much ballyhooed arrival of TWD baddie Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the leader of the Saviors who will make his debut in the final episode of the season (and possibly even before).
DENISE and TARA - 75%
Tara and Denise have settled into a happy relationship after that traumatic battle with the pit walkers in the midseason premiere… which automatically puts them on the potential tragic ending hitlist. Add to that the fact that Tara told Denise she loves her, that Denise didn’t say it back, and that Tara just survived the first battle with the Saviors and is now off on a two-week supply run, and it’s just not looking good for both fierce women to see Season 7, sadly.
ABRAHAM - 60%
This one would hurt bad, not only because Abraham Ford is essentially the smooth-tongued poet of the apocalypse, but also because he’s finally decided “to make some plays, before the great cosmic Pete comes to cut my throat unceremoniously and I gurgle my last breath.” He, harshly, dumped Rosita so he could be free to make a serious play for Sasha, and you know what happens when a survivor in the apocalypse makes plans… the storytelling gods laugh. And, as TWD comics readers know, the arrival of the Saviors spells tragedy for Mr. Ford in the books.
GLENN - 50%
It’s almost too much to bear to even think it’s still a possibility that Glenn would die at this point, what with Dumpstergate earlier in the season, and that other near death when he was pinned up against the wall while trying to save Maggie during the battle with the walker herd in the midseason premiere. He’s about to become a father, and his friendship with Enid has showcased there’s really no one in the group who’ll make a better dad than Glenn, but there’s no denying issue 100 of the comics — a classic storyline so well known we’re not spoiling anything at this point — when Glenn’s sweet noggin meets Lucille, the brutal, barbed wire-covered bat of ultimate TWD baddie Negan.
MORGAN - 35%
“Here’s Not Here,” the Season 6 episode that unfolded the backstory of Morgan’s friendship with Eastman and his new, anti-killing philosophy, remains one of the best episodes of the series, and Morgan Jones is one of the great supporting characters of TWD. But while lots of characters have shared Morgan’s idealistic view of how to survive in the post-apocalyptic world without killing other humans, none have clung to it so stubbornly as Morgan, who has nearly cost several of his friends their lives because of his attitude. The thing Morgan has yet to acknowledge: Eastman’s way of life was possible because he lived off in the woods, away from the constant threat of attacks by walkers or other humans. Can Morgan realize compromise is necessary — like Glenn and Heath had to in last week’s “Not Tomorrow Yet” — before it’s too late for him… or another beloved Alexandrian?
MAGGIE - 25%
Maggie’s storyline in Seasons 5 and 6 has been a slow build into her evolution as a true leader who’s savvy, confident, and brave enough to stand up to, and get the best of, a blustery bully like Hilltop’s Gregory. She and Glenn have also committed themselves to not only surviving, but thriving and trying to build a new life (literally and figuratively) in the new world. So, again, that thing about making plans and storytelling gods laughing? Yeah.
DARYL - 25%
Has the great Daryl Dixon run out of storyline? Does Jesus possess a lot of the same skills as Daryl, making Mr. Dixon expendable? Does beloved TWD star Norman Reedus have a new series, a reality show in which he’ll travel across the country on his motorcycle, premiering on AMC later this year? Those are among the bits of evidence cited in discussions about a possible Daryl death — not to mention that comment from Reedus’s BFF Andy Lincoln about how crushing the season finale is. All we know for sure is this: Yes, Reedus does have a new series coming, and Daryl Dixon is definitely not replaceable as a member of Rick’s group. Oh, and that, as has always been promised, there will be some rioting should Daryl meet his own cosmic Pete.
CAROL - 10%
Ms. Peletier remains one tough chica, ready and able to do what needs to be done to protect her loved ones. But it’s starting to get to her, all the death, as we saw with her Moleskine list of all the people she’s killed as a member of Rick’s group. A woman can only bake so many batches of beet acorn cookies before she just loses her s–t, and Carol appears to be on the edge. Now that she and Maggie are in the clutches of the Saviors who survived Rick’s group’s first attack, and Morgan’s pacifist philosophies are taking up real estate in her head, Carol’s in more danger than she’s ever been in before.
MICHONNE - 5%
Is there a significant chance Michonne will fall victim to Negan (and Lucille) or some other Savior? Probably not. But two things to consider, if only to prepare yourself that there’s any possibility of such an unspeakable loss: 1) The other two females who’ve attracted the attention and love of Mr. Rick Grimes are now sleeping with the walkers, and 2) The fantastically multi-talented Michonne portrayer Danai Gurira has not only a thriving TV career, but is a successful playwright with current productions on Broadway and off-Broadway (including one starring Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o), and a major movie role as Afeni Shakur in the upcoming Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me. Just sayin’.
