Top 10 Walking Dead Characters
Most Likely to Make It Out of Season 6 Alive

10. Sasha

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

The biggest threat to Sasha’s life right now is not the walkers, it is not the Wolves, and it is not any residents of Alexandria: it is herself. Sasha has been in a major depression since her brother and boyfriend died, the likes of which we have only seen with Rick after Laurie died.

If Sasha does not snap out of the depression soon, she will end up being responsible for her own death. If she can find something (or someone) to live for, she is strong enough to survive quite a long time.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Being in the hands of Negan may be the best thing for Sasha right now. She would have been much more likely to die back in Alexandria with the attacks and all. One of three of Abraham, Sasha or Darryl will probably be killed by Negan, and I am thinking Sasha is the safest of the three. She will likely rejoin the group at the end of season 6.

9. Morgan

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Morgan has finally reappeared after 5 seasons. Morgan will certainly die, but it will not be in season six. He will die at the hands of Rick, and it will be yet another “life-altering” event for Mr. Grimes.
What to expect: Have a box of tissues by your side for the “Morgan Dies” episode, as it will be one of the most emotional moments in the show’s history, and it will likely be his BFF Rick that finally puts an end to him.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Morgan has now been back long enough where he is to the point that he can die without everyone being like “why bring him back 5 seasons later just to kill him off.” Because of this, Morgan will not make it to season 7, but will probably last at least a few more episodes.

8. Eugene

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Last season Eugene got knocked out by Abraham. Not only did he get knocked out, but he smashed his head so hard that the audience was left to believe that he was dead.
If resident genius, Eugene, was going to die anytime soon, he would have died by Abe’s hand: literally. Expect Eugene’s brains to continue to come in handy as the gang struggles to figure out exactly what the hell is going on.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Why kill Eugene now, right? They won’t.

7. Carol

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Carol is the leading lady of The Walking Dead. If she dies, riots will ensue, and the show will lose one of its biggest stars. Carol will continue to be a mystery to its viewers, and should survive until the show’s final season.

The ONLY way Carol will die this season is if she sacrifices herself for Jessie’s little son, her new protégé, as she feels obliged to make up for all of the little kids that have died under her care.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: She is never going to die. Like, ever. Please tell me she is never going to die.

6. Aaron

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Aaron will not die before his boyfriend, Eric. Eric will likely die this season, but we will certainly see Aaron’s post-Eric-death-mealtdown, and learn to love him as our favorite single, gay bachelor in the post-apocalyptic world.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Aaron has been missed this season. I expect to see him again tonight, and I expect that he will be more of a presence once his boyfriend gets killed. Hopefully tonight.

5. Maggie

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Even if Maggie was going to die this season, she wouldn’t. There is no way that Glenn let’s Maggie die. If the lovebirds need to be split up, Glenn will take the fall for Maggie, and she will be left to fend for herself, with only her lady friends (Michonne, Sasha, and Rosita) by her side. I can already hear “All the Single Ladies” playing in the background as the chicks slaughter their first round of walkers as lone doves.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Now that Glenn is not dead, if these lovebirds need to be split up, Maggie is the one that will take the fall. The producers love shock value, and what is more shocking than killing off a pregnant Maggie after just being reunited with Glenn. I hate to say it, but I do not think we will ever get to meet baby Glenn. I predict her death to come in episode 15 to build hype for the season 6 finale.

4. Darryl

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Darryl is the numero uno fan favorite, and one of the most beloved characters on television today. AMC would be foolish to kill him off, as many disgruntled fans would flee the show, and potentially threaten the lives of the writers. If the writers love their familes and value their lives, Darryl will continue to melt the hearts of Walking Dead fans.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Now that Darryl is with Negan, he is in more danger than he has ever been in. Darryl will NEVER die at the hands of a walker. But at the hands of Negan?? I am saying there is a chance. A small one, but a chance.

3. Michonne

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

It’s difficult to imagine a scenario that Michonne dies. If there is a walker brilliant enough to kill Michonne, they deserve to devour every inch of her, and they also deserve their own spin-off show. And, seriously, there is no human left alive that could kill this woman. She is as safe as safe can be.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Michonne will be in the final episode of the final season. If one person survives the post-apocalyptic world, it is Michonne.

2. Rick

The only reason Rick is not number one is because he would drop dead if Carl died. Even though Carl is becoming a grown man, Rick would not be able to survive in a post-apocalyptic world without his boy. If Baby Judith dies, he would be pissed, but he would manage to survive. If Carl dies, so does Rick, and the show would die alongside the two of them.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Do I even need to say it. Rick doesn’t know how to die.

1. Carl

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Carl is the only person that is guaranteed to survive until the end of the series. If he dies, Rick dies. If Rick and Carl are both dead, The Walking Dead is not a show. Just keep doing what you’re doing kid, and soon enough the entire post-apocalyptic world will be yours.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Carl could get his head chopped off, and Rick would find a way to reattach it. And after his head was reattached, he would be bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

The Walking Dead Cast: Odds of Surviving Season 6 (Part 2)

If you missed the first installment of the countdown, click here.

20. Olivia

(walkingdead.wikia)

Olivia is in charge of all the food rations and the weapons in Alexandria, but probably not for long. Once Rick and the gang take over Alexandria, there is no chance that Olivia will continue to be the one trusted with the food. Is it ironic that the most heavy set person in Alexandria is the one in charge of the food? And, good luck with trying to still be in charge of the weapons. If I were Olivia, I would begin filing my unemployment papers ASAP.

Seeing as she will not be needed anymore, and assuming she will be among the slowest when trying to escape any attacks, Olivia’s days may be numbered.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Olivia is still alive, but I am not sure how the producers would continue her story should she make it out of tonight’s mid-season premiere. Now that the food and weapon storages are obsolete, Olivia will soon be too.

19. Baby Judith

(walkingdead.wikia)

Baby Judith has been nothing more than a stage prop recently. Besides being passed along from one character to another like a hot potato, Judith does not bring much to the show. Does she ever cry? Can she walk yet? Who is her real father, Shane or Rick? I have so many questions about baby Judith, but do I really care? Does anyone care? As much as we all hate when little babies die on television, a baby Judith death may be just what we need to make Rick go off the deep end again: thus making for fantastic TV.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Apparently they are never going to kill her off, and apparently she is never going to start walking either.

18. Tara

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

The good thing for Tara is that she has survived much longer than expected. Also, her near death experience at the end of season 5 is a sign that she still has some time left in her. If she was going to die soon, why not just let her die at the end of season 5? Tara’s innocence and warmth make her a fan favorite, and someone people want to root for. Much like Hershel, Beth, and Mika. (!)

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Tara has had more than her fair share of near death experiences. I think she will be around until at least the end of this season, and am expecting her to continue to be a fan favorite come season 7.

17. Abraham

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Abraham is quickly approaching Darryl/Glenn/Carol type love from fans of the show. Unfortunately for Abraham, beloved characters need to die, and Abraham’s death would send just the right amount of shock waves (death threats to producers/writers) through The Walking Dead universe. And it is almost a given that when Abraham does meet his demise, he will die saving someone else, or simply being a hero.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Now that Abraham, Darryl, and Sasha are separated from the rest of the group and find themselves in the hands of Negan, I would be shocked if all three of them manage to survive. Of the three of them, Abraham will likely be killed off. I am still expecting his death to make him some sort of martyr, possibly for saving the life of Darryl or Sasha.

16. Sam Anderson

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

If I was a little kid in a post-apocalyptic world, the LAST person that I would befriend would be Carol. Sam will either continue the trend for children dying under the supervision of Carol, or he will be her redemption for the Lizzie-Mika debacle, and for the Sophia nightmare.

Sam is a curious cat, though, and if his mentor is Carol, she could teach him some impressive survival skills. But, if he continue to obsess over the freaking chocolate chip cookies, and not about survival at all costs, he could become the next travel size zombie snack.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: They should have left him in his room. He is as good as dead tonight, and his panicking will likely be the cause of many other’s deaths, including his brother and mother.

15. Francine

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Not too much is known about Francine except the fact that she joins the men on construction crew, is close with Abraham, and was in on the plan to take down Rick in the season 6 premiere. Francine could go either way in regards to where her loyalties lie.

If she sides with Rick, I can see her surviving for quite a while, and being an important asset to the group. If she sides with Tobin, she will be dead by Thanksgiving. The ball is in your court Francine.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Boy, has she been a huge letdown. Where the hell is she? I was expecting her to start shacking up with one of the boys (mainly Abraham) but she is nowhere to be found. She might as well be dead, and that is probably exactly what is going to happen. Tonight.

14. Jessie

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Jessie will likely fall in love with Rick now that her husband is out of the picture. She is trying to avoid that at present time, but it will happen. Jessie will make Rick happy, well…. as happy as Rick can possibly be. But, how long will producers let Rick be happy? I think we all know the answer to that question. A happy Rick totally defeats the point of the show.

As a result, Jessie will survive most of the season, and when she dies at the end, it will be one of the most emotional, heart wrenching moments in the show’s history, and it will be epic.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: So, I originally predicted that she would die at the end of the season, but it looks like her time has rapidly approached, and it will come at the hands of her own annoying son. I can not see a scenario how she and her boys will survive tonight’s march through the walkers once Sam starts calling for her. She is likable and a big help to the group, but her two awful sons are will be her downfall.

13. Spencer

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Much like Francine, Spencer will have to make a decision as to where his loyalties lie. He will likely be the last remaining member of his family after Deanna dies, and will quickly realize that he needs Rick and the gang if he wants to make it. There was a brief interaction between him and Sasha at the end of season 5, and while she shot him down, he could eventually be the only thing that may get her out of the suicidal slump she has been in.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Spencer has been a letdown as well. Besides almost killing himself tight rope walking over a heard of zombies, he has been nearly invisible. I do think at least a few of the original Alexandria resident will survive tonight’s attack, and Spencer may have the best shot.

12. Glenn

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

As much as I hate to admit it, season 6 could be the end of the road for one of our heroes. I would be shocked if Rick, Carl, Carol, Darryl, Michonne, Glenn and Maggie all survive another entire season. Glenn may be the one that takes the fall for them, due to the fact that there would be rioting in the streets if Rick, Carl, Carol, Darryl or Michonne died. It is looking like the end of the road for Glenn/Maggie, and I am assuming that Glenn will die sacrificing himself for his girl.

I hope I am wrong, and Glenn never dies, but sadly, that doesn’t seem to be possible.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Now that Glenn has NOT died after be basically died, I think he is going to stick around for the long haul. Why in the world would the producers not kill him off when they had the chance? It would cause a massive uproar if Glenn dies after making fans wait a month to find out that he wasn’t dead.

11. Enid

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Enid will be the person that turns Carl from a boy to a man. While it is uncertain if they will be romantically involved with each other, Carl will fall in love with Enid, and when she dies, we will have a whole new Carl, the likes of which we have never seen before. This growth will mean that Carl will be able to lead the group, and possibly even take over for his father, affording the only option for the writers to ever be able to kill off Rick. And all because of Enid. Enid will probably make it the majority of the season, and die at the end, ripping out Carl’s heart, and millions of viewers’ hearts in the process.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Enid is so weird that anything could happen with her. She will not die anytime soon, though, because we need to get to the bottom of what she is all about. I say she will stick around until the end of the season, and probably off herself towards the end. She seems too savvy too die at the hands of a walker.

Top 10 coming soon…

The Walking Dead Cast: Odds of Surviving Season 6

(photo credit: amc.com)

With nearly 30 starring and supporting characters, The Walking Dead is among the largest casts on television, which allows for writers to kill anyone they so desire. The Walking Dead has not shied away from killing major stars, and even killing off children. So anyway is fair game, and nobody is safe.

The following is a spoiler-free countdown of the remaining characters in Alexandria ranked in order from least to greatest chance of surviving the next 16 episodes of season 6.

UPDATE: TO CELEBRATE THE MID-SEASON PREMIERE, LET’S TAKE A LOOK BACK AT THE PREDICTIONS MADE BEFORE EPISODE 1 OF SEASON 6, AND RE-EVALUATE THEIR CHANCE OF SURVIVAL FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON.

(Least likely to survive)
