‘Walking Dead’ Season 7 Spoilers: What Will Happen To Carol and Morgan?


Warning: This article contains potential Walking Dead Season 7 spoilers.

The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere is fast approaching, and more and more spoilers are emerging. Fans are most excited to learn who Negan killed at the end of Season 6, but there are other interesting plots to resolve as well.

For instance, when we last saw Morgan in Season 6, he broke his no-kill policy to save Carol, who is struggling with the number of people she’s killed and vowed to stop taking people’s lives. What will that event mean for the duo as they head into Season 7 — and a new community called the Kingdom — together? Melissa McBride (Carol) provides some insight to Entertainment Weekly.

“There may still be philosophical differences. Now that Morgan had that moment where he chose to take another life to defend someone he cared about, that puts a hole in his philosophy, or his ability to maintain that philosophy. So what does that do to their relationship? We’ll have to see. Are they any closer to living in some common agreement or not?”

McBride goes on to add that Morgan’s actions may not make Carol reevaluate her place in the Walking Dead universe.

“Just because Morgan carried out that action, I don’t know if that’s going to change Carol’s mind about how she feels herself in this world. I mean, it’s an inevitability. How can she live with what’s inevitable is the problem. There’s really no getting around it and she knows that, and now Morgan realizes that. But that doesn’t change Carol’s mind about herself in this world. Or does it?”

As for any hope fans may have of Carol reconnecting with Daryl in Walking Dead Season 7, McBride tells Comicbook she isn’t sure Carol is ready.

“I think she’s just got to get her mind right before she can entertain any sort of relationship,” McBride explains. “I think it’s just difficult for her to have a relationship of any kind. Where we left off, if you care for somebody, you’re going to have to kill for them, and again, she’s just not sure she’s in that place.”

Walking Dead showrunner Scott M. Gimple tells Entertainment Weekly that Morgan will also be searching for his place in the world in Season 7.

“[Morgan] has been struggling with adopting a philosophy that saved him in so many ways, and yet that philosophy isn’t workable in the world that he inhabits,” says Gimple. “Obviously, [when he saved Carol], it wasn’t.”

According to Gimple, Morgan and Carol will have a very different experience in the Kingdom than they had in Alexandria. The community, which plays a big role in the comics, isn’t purely about day-to-day survival. The inhabitants have a thriving food supply and celebrate being alive. Gimple says the Kingdom’s leader, the eccentric King Ezekial, is going to be a major player in Walking Dead Season 7.

“The man in charge is somebody who embraces in some ways some of the more nonsensical parts of life. You know, he walks around with a classical royal air, and yet there’s something very affirming about that. It’s theater. He’s a bigger than life character, and they’re living in a way that is very affirmative of life and it’s different from any of the communities we’ve seen before.”

In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lennie James (Morgan) says it’s been very difficult keeping Walking Dead Season 7 spoilers during the hiatus. While Morgan and Carol were not among those left kneeling before Negan in last season’s finale, James says fans, friends, and family members have all pressed him to reveal who dies in the Season 7 premiere. How has he dealt with the pressure?

“I’ve kind of done two things,” Morgan confesses. “One, I’ve stopped speaking to people. And two, you have to get very single-minded about protecting a particular story line and trying your best to stay true to it everywhere.”

What do you think of the latest Walking Dead Season 7 spoilers? Do you think Carol and Morgan will learn to enjoy life again while staying in the Kingdom?

The Walking Dead returns to AMC on Oct. 23 at 9 p.m. ET.
