In the latest episode of The Walking Dead, it appeared that one of the main characters, Glenn, was killed. But after taking in the chatter on the Internet, I'm convinced he is not dead. It was another body being torn apart and devoured. A body that was on top of him. Of course, the director had the actor who portrays Glenn screaming as if it was him being torn apart, but that was a ploy to trick the audience. And it was a successful ploy, as even I thought he was dead at first.
But like I said, it was the other guy's body being devoured. Glenn is not dead. That's because Glenn, along with Rick, Carl, the baby Judith, (whose aging process seems to have stopped at six months), Michonne, Maggie, Darryl, and Carol will never get killed. At least not until the final season or even the final episode. They are the core characters, and they will last for the duration of the show.
At least that's how I would write it. As for the last episode of the show, anything can happen. And that's because there will be no more shows. Like Russell Crowe in Gladiator. He died at the end, and it was okay, because the movie was over at that point.
You follow a story for one main reason. You are following the character(s), and the above characters are who the audience is following. So you don' kill them off or you lose the following. If that happens the ratings drop and the show gets canceled. It's as simple as two plus two. So, if any of them die, it will be when there's no more shows to watch. That's all.
