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. As we know, one of the main characters will be killed right off the bat (pun intended.) But, for those that survive the brutal Negan beatdown, who will make it through the season, and whose time in the post-apocalyptic world is drawing to a close.

The following is a spoiler-free countdown of the remaining characters in Alexandria and beyond ranked in order from least to greatest chance of surviving season 7.

29. Tobin

 

Now that Tobin is in bed with Carol, he is the epitome of a dead man walking. Tobin may be just what Carol needs (should she ever return to Alexandria) to bring some joy and normalcy into her life. Unfortunately, for Carol, nobody is allowed to be happy in the Walking Dead universe, so once/when Carol returns to Alexandria, Tobin is toast.

28. Bruce

 

The fact that Tobin’s right hand man survived season 6 is astonishing. I am expecting Alexandria to be ambushed soon, and Bruce will be among the casualties that nobody will care about, not even Tobin. After the core group loses one member at the hand of Lucille, Bruce could, theoretically, step up his game and fulfill a more important role in Alexandria, but he won’t. And more than likely, the next time he is in the vicinity of a walker, will be his last.

27. Abraham

 

There is a solid chance that Abraham could be the victim of Negan’s bat in the premiere episode. However, even if his head is not smashed like a decorative pumpkin on Halloween night, Abraham’s time is likely coming to a heroic end. Of all the main characters, he is the most likely to not make it out of season 7 alive.

26. Glenn

 

If Glenn does not die in the premiere, I am convinced he will never die. Glenn has escaped more close encounters with death than anyone else. Now that Maggie is pregnant, and ready to pop, Glenn’s legacy will continue with his newborn son (and Judith’s future boyfriend.) But, what better, and gut-wrenching time to kill off the beloved character than days before his child comes into the world?

25. Olivia

 

Olivia’s main purpose was being the Alexandria inventory manager in the supply room. That kind of o

rder can only last for so long in a universe with zombies and wars.

Additionally, Olivia would likely be the slowest member of the heard, and unable to outrun even walkers. If I was in Alexandria, I would befriend Olivia and not let her away from my side. It’s like the old safari rule…. only go on an African safari with at least one companion that you can outrun.

Olivia not only can steal you some extra Oreos from the supply room, but can also save your life by being considerably slower and more out of shape than you. As sweet as Olivia may be, her time in Alexandria is likely quickly coming to a brutal end.

 

 

24. Eric

 

Despite the fact that Aaron’s boyfriend, Eric, never seems to leave the house, it is still surprising that he has made it this far. If Negan ends up killing Aaron in the premiere (which is highly unlikely), we will certainly see Eric’s reaction, and quite possibly see him seek revenge and join in on the war against Negan. If Aaron doesn’t die, I expect Eric to hide in the shadows until his mid-season or season finale death, in which half of the Alexandria nobodies are slaughtered.

 

 

23. Heath

 

Heath is one of the few characters that is not playing eenie-meenie-minnie-moe with Negan nor in Alexandria. He is out on a run with Tara, and we all know that no runs EVER go smoothly in Walking Dead world. I expect one of them to not make it back to Alexandria, and between Heath and Tara, Heath is the most likely to bite the bullet.

 

 

22. Morgan

 

The Morgan Vs. Carol storyline is about to take a dramatic turn as they find themselves amidst a new group of people, and I have a suspicious feeling that it will not end well for one of them, and I am predicting Morgan will sacrifice himself for Carol and go out in a blaze of glory.

 

 

21. Francine

 

Quite possibly the most sexy single in Alexandria, Francine has the potential to be more than just a pretty face. She is a hard worker, has solid leadership qualities, and ready to fight to protect Alexandria.

Unless she starts appearing in more storylines soon (i.e. a romance with Eugene, Abraham, Daryl, Negan, Carl, and affair with Glenn, Tara, etc.) expect Francine to be killed off in a Alexandria massacre that is sure to come in season 7.
