Robert Kirkman has revealed in the past that every actor on set of The Walking Dead is not safe from getting killed off at any moment. That even includes his leading actor, Andrew Lincoln, Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), and everyone’s favorite Michonne.
However, that news may not actually be true. As Robert Kirkman revealed at New York City’s Comic-Con, there is actually one acharacter that he will not kill off. It is not Rick Grimes or Daryl Dixon. In fact, it’s a character that he wanted to kill off in the past but, the actress begged not to be killed off in a discussion with the producers of the show. I’m talking about Carol.
Several years ago, Carol was on the chopping block to get killed off. Melissa McBride who plays Carol was originally supposed to die in the season three episode, The Killer Within, along with Lori. In that episode, T. Dog was actually supposed to live. However, Melissa McBride begged for her character to stay on the series, and the writers switched it at the last minute saving Carol and killing T-Dog’s career on The Walking Dead.
Robert Kirkman reveals why he will never kill Carol off of The Walking Dead.
“I regret all of [the deaths] and none of them at the same time,” Robert Kirkman told the audience at Comic Con, before adding — according to Vulture — that there’s one character he can’t kill off.
“The Carol that’s in the comic was my attempt to show just how broken an individual can become from the zombie apocalypse. The Carol in the show, which is a much better character let’s be honest, actually is made stronger by all the more horrible things that happen to her in the show. Killing her would definitely not … we can’t do that.”
This is the first time Robert Kirman revealed that he could not kill off a character and shows important Carol has become to The Walking Dead. It is not a huge surprise however that she is the one who seems to be surprise.
Then again, who knows if Robert Kirkman is actually telling the truth. In fact, he supposedly spoiled an upcoming major character death on a comedy show last year.
Robert Kirkman drops major spoiler on which main character is going to die this season.
Robert Kirkman appeared on Comedy Central’s @midnight along with Lauren Cohan and Josh McDermitt. During a segment on the show, Chris Hardwick offered them an opportunity to reveal upcoming spoilers.
It was meant to be a joke…
Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie, spoiled that Carl has been wearing a wire the entire time. But, Robert Kirkman said that Maggie and Eugene would be killed in this week’s episode, and Josh McDermitt said something about Beth coming back as a dog who can solve crime.

But then Robert Kirkman gets serious and drops this major spoiler: “Eventually a character named Negan is introduced. He’s going to bash in Glenn’s brains with a baseball bat called Lucille.” If you read the comics, this is exactly how Glenn is supposed to die…
