The season 7 finale of The Walking Dead will be ‘painful and heartbreaking’ says one of its stars

It’s the finale Walking Dead fans have been waiting for…Will Negan live to kill some more, or will Rick and his gang finally end Negan’s brutal torment of the Alexandrians?

The Walking Dead season seven will come to a close on Monday night and fans have been busy speculating about what they can expect to see from Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group.

Many viewers are hoping to see the Alexandrians go to war with Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors, but have been warned by showrunner Scott M. Gimple that there will be a few deaths.

So it’s no surprise that there have been many fan theories about who will be killed off.

But, speaking at the London stop of The Walking Dead Euro Tour last month, Alanna Masterson, who stars as Tara in the award-winning drama, slammed over-the-top theories regarding the show.

When asked if she read fan theories online, she told press including the Express: “I don’t because it's really dumb.

“Like oh my God, there was a T-rex on set and there are going to be dinosaurs, and it's like ‘yeah right, because that's happening’.

Alanna went on to add that she doesn’t understand why viewers are so desperate to know what will happen next.

“For me, if I love a certain series or movie, I don’t want to go and be like, ‘what happens at the end?’”

Meanwhile, ahead of the final instalment of The Walking Dead, Danai Gurira, who stars as Michonne, has warned fans that it will be both “painful” and “heartbreaking”.

Danai teased: “It brings you to the precipice of all your fears and all your hopes. I definitely felt that heart-stopping pain and hopeful joy at the same time while reading it.

“You're pretty riveted and very full by the end of that, at least I very much was. It's the heartbreak and the hope all rolled into one episode.”
