The Walking Dead Season 9: Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

10. Ezekiel

He may not be beholden to the same royal theatrics as when we first met him, but that just means Ezekiel is a more rounded character as a result, and while Shiva has sadly departed, he's going to find renewed happiness as he begins a romance with Carol this year.

And that, of course, will lead to his doom. The series isn't going to have its characters being happy for too long, and since it looks more likely they'll keep Carol around, then killing off Ezekiel is a way of giving her extra material to work with, and showing that the Whisperers mean business.

They'll be looking to take out at least one of the leaders and, if any one of the 'heads on a pike' deaths would translate to the show by offering a big enough moment without being someone *too* big, it's Ezekiel.
