In less than three weeks, our Sunday nights will once again be dedicated to AMC's "The Walking Dead." Season 5 of the zombie apocalyptic show kicks off on Oct. 12, and a new rumor has us ready to stock up on Kleenex.
According to Spoilersguide.com, fans should prepare for not one major death, but two or more. The info comes from TV Line, which reported the following: "You know how last season the major-character-body-count was relatively low? That will not be the case in Season 5."
TV Line didn't say how many characters will be killed off, but there have been death rumors circulating three main stars. Back in May, "The Spoiling Dead" posted on Facebook that Steven Yeun's character, Glenn Rhee, could die.
"RUMOR, we have heard from multiple sources about a possible death. Word is the death of Glenn was filmed yesterday/last night. It's possible it could be someone else, but multiple sources stated Glenn."
"Reports are the set was locked down last night and everyone was told to leave because the cast would not be coming out," the post continued. "Alanna [Masterson] tweeted yesterday during filming 'when someone great is gone.' As we stated this is currently a rumor and we are tracking and trying to get more information."
In the comic books, Glenn is killed by Negan who used a baseball bat wrapped in barbed-wire. A month later, a new death rumor surfaced but this time it focused on Bob Stookey (Larry Gilliard Jr.). According to Spoil the Dead, Bob could suffer the same fate as comic book Dale.
"Okay so cast and crew are trying to get people to be confused on who's dying. They wanted it to be speculated on Daryl, but somehow it got to Glenn. But it's actually neither. Do you remember how Dale died in the comics? Got chased by the hunters and got knocked out, woke up with leg missing and the hunters ate him... Well yeah after Terminus Gareth and like 4 others turn into the hunters and take revenge on Rick and gang. Just like in the comics... And then the person who replaces Dales' death is... It's Bob... It hasn't been filmed yet and Lawrence doesn't even know yet." Then on Tuesday, yet another (possible) death rumor surfaced involving Tyreese. The info was posted on The Spoiling Dead's Facebook page. "We received some info at the beginning of the month regarding Tyreese (Chad Coleman). Three people witnessed this. On August 27th, while filming in the Foreston Place aka Shirewilt Estates, Rick and Glenn were seen filming with Tyreese. What was seen during filming was a bloody Tyreese being carried out by Rick and Glenn. Both Rick and Glenn were holding Tyreese up and helping him walk. As far as we know, Tyreese has not been 'seen' since then by any of our people. As of last night Chad was in Las Vegas. This does not mean anyone has died, but we wanted to put out the information we received. It could be nothing or it could be something. We will continue looking into this."
