'The Walking Dead' Season 6 Finale: Major Character Death Revealed? Melissa McBride Dishes On 'Very Dark' Conclusion [VIDEO]
There's already a lot of buzz surrounding the season six finale of The Walking Dead thanks to the controversial character fans know is finally going to show his face for the first time, but the episode is also promising to be one of the most emotionally taunting ones as well.
Melissa McBride, who portrays Carol on the show, has revealed that the highly-anticipated episode that will introduce Negan himself (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) will also be one of the darkest episodes the show has done yet.
"It was so very dark," she says about the finale episode's script. "I couldn't say anything after I had finished reading it. I felt like I had dropped into a black hole."
Her comments appear to hint that someone, most likely a major character, would meet their untimely end in the episode, And when Negan's appearance is added into the mix, how the death could be incorporated may already be known.

In the comic books, Negan has a studded baseball bat named Lucille, which he uses to beat his victims to a bloody pulp.
That said, the character from Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group who faces such a horrifying death winds up being Glenn (Steven Yuen). However, with the fake out that seemed to hint that he died after falling off a dumpster in the season's third episode last year, it seems unlikely the show would then kill the character off in the season finale, because a death scene involving him now wouldn't make as much of an impact.
If a character will die because of Negan (which is looking more and more likely now that the group has successfully massacred several of his people during both the raid on the compound and the attempt to rescue Carol and Maggie—Lauren Cohan—from their captors), and the script is as dark as McBride hints, it could mean that a big fan favorite may be about to bite the dust in a big way.
Naturally, no one from the show is going to reveal much of anything else.
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
