8. Father Gabriel

Father Gabriel has been on a considerable journey over the past few years, going from a cowardly figure to one of Rick's most trusted lieutenants, even losing sight in one of his eyes along the way.

He's definitely been put through the wringer, and while that's partly just how life is on the show, he's someone who could benefit from staying around another season or two while some of the bigger players depart. His comics death wouldn't suit just how far this version of the character has come, and there's a sense the show won't want to lose too many of its older characters.
