With the sixth season finale of "The Walking Dead" on the way, the AMC show is finally starting to throw us for a loop, killing off more characters in this season than any other. After the slaughtering of Alexandria, the — spoilers ahead! — arrow in Dr. Denise's head and the dozens of other close calls (dammit, Carl), we're wondering who is most likely to die in the season finale.
Actors from the show have said this is going to be one of the biggest episodes for the show yet, possibly a cliffhanger. Here are the six most likely candidates who could die in the season six finale of "The Walking Dead" on Sunday, April 3. But please, can it just be Carl?
6. Abraham

Albeit not one of the main characters, Sgt. Abraham has earned himself a place in the core group, especially with some killer one-liners. However, we feel his story has run its course, giving us his hard-ass back story followed by some soft, mushy loving. Anyone below him in rank is simply not going to make this list, as we're convinced it'll be a harsh blow to a big character. Though he may not be the biggest lost (we assume a couple more Alexandria folks will go), there's a good chance he could be a loss.
5. Glenn

They faked us out once, but fool us twice, and Glenn better damn well die. They teased Maggie having problems with the baby, but they also gave her the line, "I'm moving forward and nothing's getting in my way," in the finale scene of episode 15. Since Rick's wife, Lori, died during childbirth, it's unlikely they'll repeat that plot point, so don't be surprised if they gut Glenn after running us through that drill once. He is being held captive by the saviors after all.
4. Carol

Carol will have one last adventure where they'll address that untouched chemistry with Daryl before sending her off to roam with the rest of the zombies. She's already left once. If she doesn't die, you at least won't be seeing her again. But the entire episode 15, people were expecting her to wind up dead. That's just not going to happen easily, as she's a survivor. We're guessing, if anything, she takes her own life or uses hers to save another's.
3. Michonne

Fans were shocked and thrilled when Carl finally got taken down, only to watch him overcome the bullet to the eye. Something will have to rattle Rick by season's end, and Michonne has already gone through her transformation from sword-swinging assassin to domesticated love bug. If Rick is maimed or tortured, don't be surprised if another one he loves is ripped away. For the hero to make his full journey, he needs to be brutally stripped of all that he holds dear.
2. Daryl
![The 6 Most Likely Characters to Die in 'The Walking Dead' Season 6 Finale]()
Daryl already feels responsible for the loss of others. Though it may hurt future ratings, this would be a stunner for viewers if they followed through with offing Daryl. Earlier in the season, we saw some foreshadowing when he had his first run-in with Dwight and the Saviors, when he laid across from a burnt corpse with his arms spread out like a sacrificed Christ, then again when Rick told him he thought of him as a brother.
Daryl's usefulness in this season has seemed to dwindle since the group arrived in Alexandria, turning him into a bit of an outsider. Expect Daryl to sacrifice himself for the betterment of the group, and hopefully a little inner redemption.
1. Morgan
![The 6 Most Likely Characters to Die in 'The Walking Dead' Season 6 Finale]()
As we predicted at the start of the season, there would be a big push and pull between Rick's way of doing things and Morgan's. It seems each is a bit of a leader figure, and episode 15, "East," laid into that pretty hard. Though the series keeps revisiting these two as they judge each other's methods, the penultimate episode had a heart-to-heart where Rick and Morgan said their (sort of) goodbyes. Eventually, this season or another, Rick and Morgan will go head to head, or Morgan will just lose out, pussyfooting in a ruthless world.
We saw a horse when we first met Morgan, and the finale preview shows him riding one again. Are things coming full circle? Should he find Carol or the Saviors, he could very well be the one at the mercy of Negan, getting his skull bashed in. Or cliffhanger, either one.
We'll see soon enough, but clearly we're on the right path with who lives and who dies on "The Walking Dead" so tune into AMC on Sunday, April 3, and watch how right we are.
