The cliffhanger scene featured in the Season 6 finale episode of "The Walking Dead" has sparked mixed reactions from fans, as well as constant attempts to get spoiler news from cast members. Michael Cudlitz has recently given a candid response on how he handles such requests.
Several months after "The Walking Dead" Season 6 closed its final chapter, many fans and reporters have attempted to get a hint of the character whom Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) killed in the previous season. Fan events and press tours have kept the AMC show's cast members on their toes lest they accidentally reveal something about Season 7. A similar incident happened with cast member Cudlitz during an interview with Yahoo.
When asked how the actor handles the constant questions about the Season 6 cliffhanger scene, Cudlitz gave a very honest answer. He indicated that the people who ask for spoilers do not deserve to get advance information about a plot line. "You don't get to know, and you don't know," he said.
He also commented on how some fans would prefer to remain clueless until an episode reveals the story line or character developments. Cudlitz, who portrays Abraham in the show, even mentioned that some of the spoiler reports about the AMC series contain fan speculations or plot theories. The actor stated that a spoiler information may not be valid unless it comes from a cast member or the series' showrunners.
"If that's the case, then they're f---ing a--holes anyway," Cudlitz added. "You just ruined it for people who don't want to know."
Meanwhile, a report posted on Independent has indicated that a "The Walking Dead" trailer may have hinted of the character who will die in the Season 7 premiere. The said report speculated that the order in which the characters appeared in the promo clip represents the most likely to least character death in the upcoming episode.
In the said teaser clip that was featured during the AMC show's 2016 Comic Con panel, Steven Yeun's Glenn was the first character who appeared. After Glenn, Cudlitz's Abraham was shown followed by Josh McDermitt's Eugene. On the other hand, the last two characters on the list include Chandler Rigg's Carl and Andrew Lincoln's Rick.
Fans would have to wait until the AMC series returns to the small screens to learn more about the fate of beloved characters. "The Walking Dead" Season 7 is set to premiere on Oct. 23.
