The Walking Dead: 10 Characters Who'll Survive Until The End

8. Maggie

Old Man Carl Grimes
Gene Page/AMC

The sole surviving member of the Greene family has proved herself to be a formidable character capable of surviving even in the face of the extreme kind of adversities that a zombie apocalypse throws up. You know, like watching your dad get beheaded or witnessing your common-law husband getting his brains bashed in by a baseball bat-wielding psychopath.

Even after experiencing her entire family dying one by one, Maggie is emerging as a competent leader of the Hilltop Colony and displaying the kind of qualities – firm but fair and humane but with a healthy pinch of suspicion – that the apocalypse needs.

Not to mention Maggie is still going in Robert Kirkman’s comics, so there’s plenty of fodder there for inspiration and The Walking Dead writers have already done the dying in childbirth thing with Lori Grimes so it's hard to see her being offed that way. In fact, once her and Glenn’s baby is born Maggie’s plot armour will likely thicken considerably.
