‘The Walking Dead’ Season 8 Start Date Spoilers: Major Character Is Alive And Well

"The Walking Dead" season 8 returns on October 22. Fans will see Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and the Alexandrians in a bloodier war against Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors. While Rick, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Daryl (Norman Reedus ) mourn deaths in the aftermath of "The Walking Dead" Season 7 finale, a major character just hinted that he survived. Read on to know who survives and who is going to be chomped up in this season.

While "The Walking Dead" Season 7 saw the sacrificing of Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Green), Aaron (Ross Marquand) survived the tortures. Marquand let it slipped that Aaron will survive in "The Walking Dead" season 8. It would be recalled that he was beaten black and blue in the previous season. Asked if his unfortunate fate continues in season 8, this is what he told the Entertainment Weekly: "Hopefully not at all. I feel like I reached my quota last year and it was enough for me."

So, who is going to be killed for "The Walking Dead" season 8? While such information is being kept under tight wraps for an obvious reason, Morgan dropped a hint as to when fans should expect a major character death. Pertaining to co-actor Lincoln, he told the New York Daily News: "If we work together too much, one of us is going to have to die." Fans should, therefore, watch out if these two characters' screen time together increases as the season 8 progresses.

Speaking of death, meanwhile, Reedus has just warned that Daryl is out for revenge in "The Walking Dead" season 8. Coming from the experience where he was tortured and made to eat dog food, Daryl has only got payback in his mind. Reedus told the Entertainment Weekly that Daryl is prepared to kill everybody, no matter what. His attitude is that everybody dies.
