The Walking Dead’s Melissa Bride, Gale Hurd Share Season 7 Thoughts

A number of cast members of The Walking Dead have given their two cents' worth regarding the ending and the upcoming answer to the cliffhanger question: Who did Negan kill?

This time, Melissa McBride, who plays Carol in The Walking Dead, is on the hot seat. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, McBride shared what could be the funniest story of them all. Her mother had been worried that Carol may have been the one to die—though she wasn't even in the death row lineup of the last season.

Her mother wasn't the only one who McBride had seen on their wits' end when it comes to The Walking Dead. While we've heard some speculations from Abraham getting killed to even little clues that hint at an equally devastating possibility, McBride said that she had people ask her, but immediately take back the question.

"I've heard it all. But, you know, it's entertaining. It's compelling and some people like cliffhangers, some people hate them, and that's just part of the experience. But I hope those people that feel jilted will tune in because the premiere is just going to be… oh God, it's going to rock the walls. The wait is worth it."

This has been a resounding promise that everyone in the show had been saying since the hype train has started for The Walking Dead season 7.

But the creatives behind the show are quick to point out that this is the power of The Walking Dead. While the show has been predominantly zombie-based at every turn, the cliffhanger episode itself shows the main point of the show: human emotion.

It appears that The Walking Dead will keep coming back to this—and we may be seeing a lot of it in the seventh season, especially with the hard blow of whoever's death passes. According to BBC, The Walking Dead Executive Producer Gale Anne Hurd said that even though the show is based on a zombie apocalypse event, the story is about the characters' journey.

And to end on a foreboding note, she even added:

"Very quickly we realize that it is not the zombies you have to be afraid of, it's the other humans."

I wonder how right she would be once we know who gets the bat.

The Walking Dead will return to AMC on Oct. 24 for season 7.
