6. Father Gabriel

Gabriel seemed destined for an early grave after his cowardly behaviour when the group arrived at Alexandria, but he's shown a remarkable growth since then.

He's no longer a craven, but instead one of Rick's staunchest supports, and someone who in turn has his full support. If they were going to kill Gabriel off at this point, the time to do it would've been when he disappeared last year, which suggests he'll be ok this season. His turnaround isn't fully complete, and until it is he should continue to survive, even though it always feels like he could be expendable.
