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

The Walking Dead has quite a few core characters it can't do away with, and newcomers likewise, but then there's the mid-tier. Characters who've been around a little while, are recognisable and, while they could live on, also stand a good chance of being killed off as well.

For Gregory, his period as Hilltop's resident slimeball and flip-flopping between sides means that, despite Xander Berkeley's pitch-perfect weasley performance, he's more towards the danger zone than he is the safe zone.

There's not all that much left to do with him and, if the show recreates Alpha's 'heads on spikes' moment - which is brutal, but also feels like a must - then Gregory should be among the prime contenders, as there's no one else from Hilltop to quite fill that role. Failing that, then there's the option of giving him his comics death and having Maggie kill him after he attempts to poison her, which is definitely the kind of thing he'd do. Either way, his days seems numbered.
