"The Walking Dead" fans are eagerly waiting for Oct. 23 for it is the premiere date for Season 7. The same season that holds the answers to the cliffhanger finale but from the looks of the recent teaser poster, it appears as though it is not going to augur well for fan-favorite characters.

AMC recently shared a teaser poster and it gives out some dreadful vibes about the protagonists of the program. The message accompanying the poster, which says "The price will be paid," is the reason fear has gripped fans and many feel that it is an ominous warning for Daryl Dixon and Rick Grimes. It looks like the premiere is going to give viewers some major heartbreak.

The poster shows Grimes in a vulnerable position. He is looking in front of him while sitting on the ground with fingers spread on the rocks above the ground. His facial expression seems quite weird and it is not really easy to decipher what he is up to or what he has in front of him. However, the message sounds scary and it feels as though a death or two is imminent.

Daryl or Rick might be Negan's victims and even if they do not end up dying, they will have shocking storylines in the eighth season, reports suggest. Rick will carry on his relationship with Michonne, provided she survives. He will also challenge Negan and if TWD comics spoilers are to be believed there will be a faceoff between the two.

In an interesting turn, Spencer will be killed off despite telling Negan that he does not like Rick. Negan murders him for being a coward. Later, Rick takes on Negan but the baddie and his group win many fights. The war continues and ultimately, Rick succeeds in imprisoning Negan.

As for Daryl, he has already started a fight with Dwight and the spoiler photo that showed Dwight wearing his vest, indicates more tension between the two. The tussle may get worse.

Well, whatever happens, the premiere is going to be one super exciting episode for all the TWD fans.
