The season finale saw Carol Peletier (played by Melissa McBride) break up with Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and head off with Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) to Alexandria. She attempts to give her ring back to Ezekiel and abandon him. Now, The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang has suggested that trouble lies ahead for Ezekiel and it may lead to his death. She has revealed to Entertainment Weekly: “There’s definitely a lot of fertile ground for Ezekiel, because the interesting thing with our show is we rarely kill a person the same way on the show that Kirkman did in the comic.

The Walking Dead season 9 spoilers: Viewers slam 'weak' series finale We definitely have a story that I’m really excited about telling for Ezekiel in season 10 Angela Kang “Glenn is a notable exception. We definitely have a story that I’m really excited about telling for Ezekiel in season 10. I’ve talked to Khary about it. “It opens a door to do something that’s different and really hopefully interesting for people to see with Ezekiel in the next chapter of dealing with the breakup of his home and his family and the loss of his child. Hopefully good character stuff can come out of it all.” Did she just confirm Ezekiel’s death? Is the story she is "really excited" about Ezekiel’s death? In the comics Ezekiel dies when Alpha decapitates him alongside Rosita and places their heads on spikes to send a warning to the communities. In true The Walking Dead fashion, the producers changed the script and chose not to kill off the two characters, but used the scene in season nine, episode 15 to kill off other minor characters. Kang implies that although Ezekiel has cheated death in the TV series so far, death may just be around the corner.

(Image: AMC • THE WALKING DEAD) By saying the show does not tend to kill off characters in similar ways to the comics, she suggests that Ezekiel will die at some point. He has lost his relationship now and faces the prospect of seeing Carol move straight on with Daryl. He is grieving for the loss of his son Henry (Matt Lintz) and also faces the loss of the Kingdom, which could all lead to his tragic demise. Henry was killed by Alpha (Samantha Morton) in the beheading scene, as she chose to spare Ezekiel and Rosita and instead hurt those close to Ezekiel. In the final episode of the season, Ezekiel also helped communicate with a woman over the radio in scenes reminiscent of the comics.

(Image: AMC • THE WALKING DEAD) Ezekiel assumed the role of Eugene in the comics and managed to contact a woman who says: “Is anybody out there?” This could be Stephanie from the comics who gets in contact from the Commonwealth. Fans were left bitterly disappointed that the voice on the other end of the radio was not fan favourite Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) returning. One Twitter fan said: “Overall, season nine of The Walking Dead was great. Sad we didn’t get to hear Rick on the radio, legit makes me feel like we lost him all over again.” Another added: “That was supposed to be Rick on the radio!!! Make the movies or bring Rick back!!! Now!!!” Fans will have to wait until the next season to find out how Ezekiel deals with all he has lost and whether it leads to a tragic end.
