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