10 Things That Would Kill The Walking Dead

3. Killing Rick

'Unkillable' Character #2 is Rick Grimes, of course. I've already accepted that the end of the show will more than likely see Rick die trying to save his family, but if he were to die any earlier than the grand finale it would be catastrophic. Again, there are so many characters more deserving of a death, and at the end of the day this is Rick's story, everyone else is just tagging along. Andrew Lincoln probably doesn't get the recognition he deserves for his role as Rick. He's fantastically intense, and has created a truly classic TV character. Killing Rick really would signal the end of the show and while there's a host of other good characters, they don't come close to matching his authority. If Grimesy dies, we riot.
