11 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2017's Biggest TV Shows
5. Carol Or Morgan - The Walking Dead
Why (S)He'll Die
Because they're the two best characters on the show, which loves to torture us. Or, in more plot-specific terms, because war is coming - and that means casualties. Carol and Morgan are grouped together because both are currently outside of the main group, neither of them want to fight/kill, and they're major characters but more expendable than, say, Rick or Daryl. Also, neither of them have made it anywhere near this far in the comics, for whatever that's worth.
Despite the reservations and protestations, they'll obviously end up joining the war against Negan, and their respective character arcs would make either of them dying in the battle particularly poignant.
How It'll Happen
Negan isn't going to go anywhere just yet, even if things are about to ramp up against him. He should still be the major villain heading into Season 8, so it gives plenty of time for a couple of major deaths. Carol or Morgan would certainly be fitting for the Season 7 finale though. It'd amplify the stakes even further, end things on a sombre note, and show the heroes aren't going to win just by deciding to fight back. Negan himself would likely be the one to do it, given their status (I think only one of them will die, but the circumstances will be similar).
If I had to plump for one of the two, I'd say Carol dies - I love Melissa McBride on the show, but I don't think her arc has much left, and she could go out saving lives after reluctantly joining the fight.
