The Walking Dead Season 7 Finale: 10 Things That Should Happen

5. Getting The Band Back Together

The Walking Dead has a LOT of characters, and the number of actors considered part of the main cast this year stretches to 20 (though three of those are now dead).

Within that, there, there's a clear upper echelon of the truly important characters, which is typically defined by their relationship to Rick or how long they've been on the show (usually both). So right now, that would be Rick, Daryl, Carol, Morgan, Maggie, and I guess Carl.

They've all been through a lot together, and we've been through a lot with them, yet this year the show has mostly found ways of keeping them apart (and it's something they've done in other seasons too). Now that they're all ready to fight back against Negan, even if it's as part of different communities, it'd be great to get that 'back together' reunion moment of all these major characters, especially as it might be the last time we get to see one of them.
