Spoilers for AMC's The Walking Dead Regarding a Character "Death"

I'm giving you fair warning now. If you aren't caught up on The Walking Dead or intend to watch it at some time in the future and wish to avoid spoilers of a higher magnitude such as character deaths, turn back now.



Are you still here?

Alright, so chances are you either had this "death" spoiled for you, or you saw it live and were devastated. Because everyone loves him.

I'm talking about Glenn.

Anyway, let's get down to it. Many people are skeptical about this death for of a number of reasons that have already been identified by major media outlets and voices in pop culture. And maybe I missed someone else point this out but I have an additional piece of evidence that suggests Glenn is not dead and we have been subjected to a major fake-out. First of all, we do not see Glenn being torn apart. We see him covered in flowing blood, but it is more likely the blood of Nicholas played by Michael Traynor. When major characters die (Glenn being a major character) on The Walking Dead, the actors appear on the Chris Hardwick-hosted Talking Dead post-show on AMC. Steven Yeun did not appear on the show the evening following the October 25, 2015 episode. But that's been a common indicator for media personalities.

I say whatever.

ET Online exclusive Set Photo from The Walking Dead

The biggest sign that Glenn is not dead (yet) is a set photo published in the September 15, 2015 Entertainment Tonight Exclusive Article by Leanne Aguilera who reported that Paul "Jesus" Monroe must have been cast and was spotted filming his scenes in The Walking Dead.

Anyone familiar here?

Glenn can be seen quite clearly behind and to the right of Jesus in this set photo. As of right now five episodes into the season we have yet to see Jesus, or a meeting between Jesus and Glenn. We haven't even seen Daryl or Abraham back with the group who are also seen in this photo. Of course, I am making the assumption that this is in fact Jesus because he has not been officially revealed by the showrunners or AMC. But it's hard not to see that this is the character who debuted in issue #91 of the comic book. It would also be timely for him to arrive ahead of the mid-season finale. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been cast as Negan who debuted in issue #100 and will appear before the end of Season 6.

It would be very effective to fake-out the audience on Glenn's show death and have him confront Negan in the finale. But I'll let the comic readers take that as they may and the TV watchers to wait and see.
