Spoiler Warning: Based on those statements, it looks like Morgan will be a focal point of season 6 of The Walking Dead. Should that be true, it is a deviation from the comic books where Morgan gets bitten (much like Tyreese's death) as a horde of zombies attacks the Safe-Zone not long after the execution of Peter Anderson.
Switching character deaths from the comic books in the television series is nothing new for the series, which puts one major event in the spotlight. Ever since issue 100 of The Walking Dead comic books was published, fans have been eagerly awaiting the bitter sweet arrival of Negan. That would most-certainly mean trouble for Glenn if the show follows the iconic scene from comic book source material.
“We don’t kill the popular characters,” Kirkman joked to the room. As fans, we know this not to be true. Rest in peace, Hershel, Beth, Tyreese, and of course... Shane.
Kirkman also said. “Now, it’s a very different Rick and a very different Morgan who are going to have a completely different relationship."
Yeun joined in on the discussion of his character dying, saying "That could happen." At least Yeun realizes no one is safe on the series. “The way that we make the show, the writers and everybody really want to focus on making things poignant and purposeful and meaningful,” Yeun added. “So if it were time for Glenn to go, then it’s probably going to be awesome."
As for the future of the show, Kirkman has no plans of slowing down or stopping any time soon. “This isn’t the kind of show where the creative team is going to say, ‘It’s important to us that we end it here.
