5. Carol V Morgan
While the Season 6 promos set this year up as Rick v Morgan, it's actually been Carol who has come into conflict with the returned zen-master, which isn't too much of a surprise given their totally conflicting ideologies over how to survive in this gone-to-hell world. Carol will do whatever has to be done, and is just as ruthless as Rick. Morgan, meanwhile, refuses to kill. They're two very popular characters, and two of the most developed, although they've taken completely different paths since we first met them. The tension between them was built up in the first half of Season 6, culminating in the mid-season finale face-off that allowed the Wolf to escape. That's something they'll have to pick up on when the show resumes, but so far neither have really seemed willing to give an inch when it comes to their methods. With Alexandria under attack and the Wolf on the loose, expect this 'rivalry' to continue to grow throughout Season 6B.
