Because Eugene deserves a far less prominent, far more swift exit?

Batter up... The Walking Dead is creeping closer, with some enticing details and new hints being dropped all the time.

Nerves were well and truly shredded at the end of Season 6, and while the cliffhanger appears to have backfired massively given the fan reaction to the finale, it does ensure a face-melting start to the next run.

But who's it going to be? Who will 'take it like a champ' and suffer at the merciless hands of Negan? There are a great deal of options, but only one nailed on choice: Glenn.

It would be a significant move for the show to eliminate one of its finest characters, but it may be necessary in order to justify the hype since the POV execution cut to black. And that's not the only reason Glenn should be the man to meet Lucille in the Season 7 premiere...

9. Unpredictable After The Fake Out For Casual Fans

Glenn's fake death scene in Season 6 was the source of outrage for many fans. The scene itself was visually stunning and genuinely stunned everyone watching.

Not many shows had been brave enough to pull off such a shockingly-timed death for a major character, the only problem with the whole tale is that Glenn didn't actually die.

Some fans may believe Glenn is a safe bet to cruise through Season 7 as he's already been involved in a major death plot. Killing him off for good would be an unpredictable move for some.
