Bring the Kleenex, because the midseason finale of "The Walking Dead" is most likely going to be a bloodbath. Creator Robert Kirkman chatted with The Hollywood Reporter and said that fans should expect for it to be "pretty deadly."
"This confrontation is definitely going to be substantially different from the confrontation with The Governor or Gareth," Kirkman said about the impending attack on the hospital. "We do continue to evolve these human-to-human conflicts in very interesting ways and this is no different. There's going to be some pretty unexpected events in our midseason finale, which is as it should be. On scale of one to 10, I'd say [the midseason finale is] pretty deadly."
In recent weeks, rumors surfaced that Beth (Emily Kinney) was going to face a gruesome death in the midseason finale. The Spoiling Dead Fans wrote the following on their Facebook page:
"We received some information a while back stating the [midseason finale] would have a death and would be bloody. Last night we saw Noah escape the hospital as reported. Recently, we stated that Noah would be used as a 'bargaining chip' when the group goes to the hospital for Carol and Beth. Noah 'volunteers' to return to the hospital with Rick's group.
No one finds Beth as walker. There is a 'standoff' of sorts. She has the choice to leave and has a moment of gumption (or weakness, depending on how you look at it) that leads to her demise. Beth ends up believing that the choice she makes is a necessity in the end. But Beth doesn't envision things ending the way they do. It will be a harrowing moment not only for Beth, but for Daryl, Carol and the others as well."
