9 Worst TV Show Fake-Out Deaths
7. Glenn's Dumpster 'Death' - The Walking Dead
This one is worse in hindsight, given Glenn’s eventual fate. If we rewind to season six fans will no doubt remember the moment where Glenn and fellow survivor Nicolas are trapped by walkers in an alley. Nicolas commits suicide on top of a dumpster, and his dead weight causes them both to fall into the horde. Glenn is covered in blood and screaming as guts are ripped out, and he was presumed dead by other survivors and the audience for weeks.
It was eventually revealed he didn’t die, and he crawled under the dumpster to escape. This whole fake out was insanely ill-judged, being used to pad the story for a few episodes and keep viewers hooked. Apparently, the showrunners thought this was an interesting storytelling experiment, to see how viewers would respond to Glenn’s “death”, only to get their wish to see him alive again.
The answer? They were p***ed at being manipulated, and post-Lucille they’re likely even angrier.
