Carol
The second of the two surviving characters from season one, Carol is also a fan-favorite and would also be a lock to stay alive if she were still starring in the Daryl spin-off TV series as was originally planned. Now that actor Melissa McBride dropped out, though, she’s no longer safe. Carol is the biggest character by far TWD could kill off without directly affecting the franchise’s announced plans, even though Reedus has hinted Carol could somehow appear in his series later. But that could also be in flashbacks! Frankly, I just don’t think Walking Dead has the guts to kill its second-biggest lead.
