I thought Enid was already a season regular. She got her own backstory (which was pretty interesting) a season or two ago.

Trash Lady should only be in one more episode, the one where Rick puts a bullet in her supercuts special haircut for double crossing him.

It takes a lot of "regulars" to produce 16 filler episodes.

There are only 3 cast members left whose death will have any impact (Darryl, Rick and Maggie )

Tara, Morgan, Rosita no one will care if they die.

They need to bring on more cool characters for the audiences to get attached to.

I'd argue that Carol's death would have a greater impact for me than Maggie. Morgan in the past would have had a big impact but less so now.

Don't forget Coral too.

I agree Carol and Carl > Maggie

Probably put Morgan, Maggie, Michonne, Eugene on tier two.

Tara, Rosita, Jesus, Enid, maybe one or two more I can't remember off hand on tier three. Jesus has potential to climb if they ever stop doing Tara episodes and do something with him.

Everyone else with a name on tier four.

And the rest.

Michonne has become one of the worst characters on the show. They should have never made her and Rick a couple, as she was becoming a good Shane to Rick (remember when she knocked him out when he was acting crazy waving his gun around when they got to Alexandria).

There are just too many characters on this show I just don't care about anymore: Eugene, Tara, Enid, Aaron, Father Gabriel, Rosita. They never really developed any of them (we got glimpses of Enid and Father Gabriel but they are forgotten characters at this point.) Then to make Carol a part time player, along with Maggie just working on the farm everyday didn't help last season much either.

No doubt I'll keep watching regardless, but a guy can dream. Oh, and quit pretending you have 20 principle characters because you absolutely do not.
That pretty much sums up how I feel - I want so bad for this show to be good again as well.

Yep, Michonne has become my least favorite character. Can't stand the character now and never was fond of the one note actress. Was actively rooting for her death. I never really bought her as a badass and now they're pushing sex kitten .. it's just cringe. Actress seems capable of two faces: resting bitch face that just smelled a nasty dog fart (90% of the time) or fake forced smile (10% of the time).

This show is good at ruining characters. They could kill them all and no fucks given. Would actually welcome it, and if the show had balls they'd let Negan wipe these retards out and the show becomes about Negan and him running his empire. Honestly Eugene is the lone character I remotely care about at this point because he's the only one smart enough to put himself in a better situation.

The only two characters I really care about at this point is Daryl and Jesus. A huge part of the cast definitely needs to either die or be focused on less. We don't need 80% of each season focusing on b-characters that should be mostly nothing more than red-shirts.

I can't stand Tara or Rosita either one.

Yep i forgot Carol

Carl dying would just be funny

If Enid died in a gang rape/murder type scenario that would be bad

Actually there is one other death which would hit hard, and that would be Judith

Honestly I don't think anyone's death would impact me much at this point. They have sucked the life out of even the longstanding characters.

The only characters from the main group that it would bother me to see killed off:

Rick
Daryl
Carol
Morgan
Eugene
If I'm feeling generous, Jesus and Carl

For the rest I would basically welcome their death at this point, or maybe worse yet not care. It would force them to come up with some fresh story instead of plodding along with far too much story time devoted to characters completely unworthy of it.

The only characters I care about anymore:

Rick
Darryl
Carol
Maggie

The rest of the cast could die and it wouldn't have any impact on me. That is why the Sasha episode was such a dud for me. I actually thought it was a pretty good Season Finale, but it had no dramatic impact at all for me throughout the episode.

Eugene i want to see die

Morgan i want to see die

they need to bring in some really likeable, really cool, really skilled new characters. Characters with a skillset that blow Rick's merry band away

Some Russians, part of Spetznaz alpha group who were on a covert mission in the US when the outbreak hit or Japanese Yakuza

Just something different to the bunch of rednecks they always encounter.

I'm surprised people care about the Jesus character. Since he was introduced to the show, he really hasn't had much to say or do it seems. I don't hate the character, nor do I like the character... he just exists and has made little impact to anything.

I agree as he is just another new character that had potential and was never developed. They could do so much more with character development on this show, and they have pretty much thrown it out the window the past few seasons.

I generally agree, but I think his character has potential if they would quit wasting so much time on worthless characters. Then again, maybe the reason he still has potential is because they pretty much left him alone and haven't taken the time to ruin him yet.

Just what the show needs more series regulars. Actors who play Simon, Enid and Jadis all promoted for season 8.

Yay More crazy Trash lady
There will probably be a whole episode devoted to Trash Lady and the Dump People explaining how they came to be. Talking Dead will then spend an hour telling viewers that it was the greatest hour on television ever produced.

Yay?

Chris Hardwick: We have the actress here who plays Trash Lady, and can I just say that your performance was amazing tonight! You killed it when you were leading all of your followers in this Mad Max type episode!

Stuntman dies on the set

Pretty sad

I hope it doesn't result in toning down action scenes in the show

Can the action scenes be toned down any more? I don't remember them ever being very spectacular in this show.

Warning: insensitive comments in poor taste ahead ...

I call bullshit. The article claims he fell from an 8-metre balcony in a town 57 kilometres away from Atlanta. Those communist measurements don't exist in Georgia.

It's OK, he'll be back. Unless they made sure he won't come back.

Makes sense though since most of the cast is from the Commonwealth.
