The Walking Dead: 8 Characters Who Absolutely Cannot Die In Season 6B

This probably means they're definitely dead meat.

All Men Must Die. Ok, maybe I'm mixing up my high-quality, über-violent, death-filled series, but it's a line just as applicable to The Walking Dead as it is Game of Thrones. It's the only other show on TV with a ridiculously high death-rate, and not just a tendency, but a seemingly cruel delight in killing off the audience's favourite characters, in all manner of gruesome, shocking, and tragic ways. Over five-and-a-half seasons we've bade farewell to the likes of Shane, Andrea, T-Dog (oh man, T-Dog...), Hershel, Dale, Beth, Tyreese, and Glenn (for a few episodes at least), and that's not mentioning the almost countless number of red shirts, those who've survived purely to be killed off. However, despite the fact we're halfway through Season 6, there's no sign of it slowing things down when it comes to the hit-rate. It isn't a prediction that characters are going to die when the show returns from its mid-season break, it's a cold hard fact. Negan is on his way, so that's one major death we can definitely pencil in, but even before then - with his group discovering some of Rick's, a Wolf on the loose, and a zombie hoard taking over Alexandria (Safe-Zone doesn't apply at this point) - we should expect to say goodbye to fan-favourites and cannon-fodder alike. There are plenty of characters who could be killed off, but some, because of their importance to the story, their potential, or just status as being beloved by fans, simply cannot die. Which obviously means they'll be killed off horribly in the mid-season premiere, but here's hoping they make it through to at least Season 7.
