Fans are still trying to figure out which character bit the bloody dust when their skull made contact with Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) baseball bat in the season six finale of The Walking Dead, and now, one of the characters who it has been heavily speculated may have died is speaking out.

Michael Cudlitz, who portrays Abraham on the show, obviously won't spoil if his alter ego is the one who was sacrificed so Negan could make an example to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) about why he wasn't someone to be messed with, but he does know how to handle those seeking spoilers from him about which character will be revealed to have died in the season seven premiere.

"Baby Judith. It's Baby Judith!" he joked when asked during an interview with Yahoo TV. "I don't even think they [spoiler seekers] hope that you answer it. I think in the back of their minds, they think that you're going to slip up and say who it may or may not be. I get asked probably a hundred times a day during a convention. Almost every person asks. They usually preface it with, 'I know you're not going to tell me, but who...' 'Just tell me it wasn't you.' Or, 'I know who it is. I know it's Michonne.' Or, 'Man that's f***ed up. Everyone's going to go crazy because Daryl is dead.' They want a reaction. You go on the interweb, and it's a tremendous amount of speculation and guesses. It's just like, 'No, we're not telling you anything now. Get over it."

However, Cudlitz did seem to hint that he loved that Abraham's story arc appeared to complete itself over the course of season six, and discussed the way it seemed to fully come around.

"I think in season 6, he had the most complete arc that he's ever had. In the other seasons, I thought there were arcs, but they were arcs that only went over a couple of episodes. This was the most complete change in direction of Abraham's ship and defining moments that would push him through to where he was headed next," he said. "With his ending his relationship with Rosita, with trying to define in his own head what his relationship was or wanted to be with Sasha...Even if he couldn't be with Sasha, he knew he still could not be with Rosita."

"Then relinquishing that almost father role, caretaker role, with Eugene, knowing that Eugene had finally grown up. That wonderful scene in the [season finale], the scene where I said goodbye to Eugene and let him go, because he had finally turned into the soldier that he had always wanted to be," he continued. "He was able to do something for the group that was completely outside of himself. I think it was a very, very hard moment for Abraham, but also a very proud moment, for him to see what Eugene had become. I think this show does that really well. It shows that people, generally speaking, will step up and do what they have to do when they have to do it."

As for whether or not Cudlitz's comments where he discussed his character having a complete arc meant that he was satisfied before his death? Fans will still have to wait until October to find out.

The Walking Dead season 7 premieres Oct. 9 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
