Is 'The Walking Dead' On The Verge Of Another Major Character Death?
With two recent main characters' death, fans would assume that showrunners and writers of the show wouldn't dare to write another character off - at least for a few more episodes. However, recent hints and speculations have been posted online that another beloved character of Rick's group of survivors will say goodbye.
Be warned, potential spoilers for The Walking Dead. Ever since Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) showed up in The Walking Dead Season 6, Episode 16, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and co. have been walking on eggshells.
In the continuation of the last episode of Season 6 to the premiere episode of Season 7 titled "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be," Negan showed Rick's group of survivors just how brutal he could be. He did so by bashing Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) and Glenn's (Steven Yeun) head in with Lucille, the vampire bat.
With this most of Rick's group including Michonne (Danai Gurira), Rosita (Christian Serratos), Aaron (Ross Marquand), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Daryl (Norman Reedus), and Carl (Chandler Riggs) accepted the fact they are under Negan's jurisdiction from this point on.
Listed below are some of the characters who could potentially be in a grave situation.
Dr. Eugene Porter
Dr. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) have not always been a fan favorite. However, the character slowly but surely grew on fans when he proved he could be useful in the apocalypse. Fans who read the comics might argue that Eugene is an important character (or will be), as he will be one of the major keys to help Rick battle against Negan.
However, the official casting announcement for Showtime's Twin Peaks revival listed Josh McDermitt s one of its cast members. This caused some fans to believe that maybe Eugene won't be around for long on The Walking Dead. Actors in the main cast of the show are not allowed to have recurring roles on other shows. But, The Walking Dead cast is allowed to take on guest starring roles, bit performances and cameos during their off time on the show.
Daryl Dixon
Or, could it be the last of the Dixon brothers who's going to say goodbye? Daryl Dixon has been a fan favorite since the first season of the show. The character could do no wrong in the eyes of the fans. The majority of The Walking Dead fans even go as far as threatening showrunners and producers that they'll stop watching if Daryl dies.
This does not mean, however, that Daryl is untouchable. Norman Reedus, the actor who plays the character, even said so himself in an interview. And seeing as he is now Negan's favorite person to break, it might not be long until Negan finally decides to finish him off.
Spencer Monroe
Fans of the comic series The Walking Dead are surely waiting for this one to happen. And if the writers of the show decide to follow the comics, then this is pretty much a giveaway. Seeing as Spencer is heading in a downward spiral against Rick as he did in the comics, this could happen in the show.
Although it was not confirmed that death would happen again in the first half of Season 7, it is still a show where death is inevitable. After all, death is the only constant thing in the world of The Walking Dead.
