Anybody else still getting used to being in 2020? It still feels strange to write, type or even say 2020, and it's for sure going to take some getting used to before 2020 begins to feel like the norm. But for certain TV characters, 2020 may well come to an end before it ever really even gets going.

The landscape of television is an ever-changing one, and part and parcel of that changing landscape is the fact that characters come and go - and usually the 'go' involves a spectacular or shocking demise.

So many of our favourite TV shows have never shied away from killing off a beloved character, and 2020 could shape up to be a huge year for major TV deaths. With several shows confirmed to be coming to an end or certain actors due to depart such shows, speculation and logic mean that some of the characters we'd come to know and love may be entering their final days.

With all of that in mind, then, here are ten big-name TV characters who may well be killed off as 2020 progresses.

10. Alpha - The Walking Dead

Throughout its ten-year history, The Walking Dead has given audiences some truly chilling villains. Then again, the term 'villain' is open to interpretation in the show's ransacked world, with most villains often seeing themselves as the heroes of their own story.

Regardless, Alpha is a character who has done some truly heinous things - not least, she decapitated seven characters and displayed their heads on spikes as an ominous warning sign.

Whether it's towards the close of Season 10 or during the first half of the show's eleventh season, expect 2020 to see The Walking Dead's Alpha meet a similar fate to her comic book counterpart.

For those who aren't all that familiar with the comic book world of The Walking Dead, there Alpha was brutally decapitated in The Walking Dead #156. And who was the person responsible for this sinister rogue's death? Why, that would be Negan.

Given that Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan is currently integrating himself into The Walking Dead TV show's spin on the Whisperers, the series already seems to be making steps towards Negan taking out the group's leader. At this point, it simply seems a matter of time before karma - or, more specifically, Negan and a blade - comes calling for Samantha Morton's Alpha.
