The seventh season saw the brutal deaths of Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) on the hands of Negan. It is likely that viewers may say goodbye to another major character when "The Walking Dead" Season 7 episode 9 returns
There are speculations that Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) or Morgan (Lennie James) may finally bite the dust, according to New York Daily News. However, among the characters, it is said that Sasha is most likely to meet her end in the new episode since Green just landed a leading role in "Star Trek: Discovery," which may lead to her exit from the AMC series.

In "The Walking Dead" Season 7 episode 9, Rick will find more allies, who could help him in putting Negan down that include the Kingdom and the Sanctuary. His new friends are ready to stand on his side against Negan.
"There is something in the back half [of the season] that's kind of like joyful rebellion," showrunner Scott Gimple told TVLine. "They're able to finally do something, stand up for the right thing. It's like they had been asleep or just caught in stasis or anger or despondency."
Although everyone knows that Rick is up against Negan, the question still lies, whether he would be able to take the leadership from the latter or not. As Gimple revealed, someone will be spying on Alexandria that suggests that there are still more chaos awaiting the zombie apocalypse drama series.
