The Walking Dead fans have mixed feelings over the zombie drama’s latest post-apocalyptic romance as they predict at least one-half of the new pairing will die before the series comes to an end.
Survivors Lydia (played by Cassady McClincy) and Elijah (Okea Eme-Akwari) finally took their friendship to the next level in the latest episode of The Walking Dead, but devoted fans have been left divided by the revelation. As the mainline series races towards an epic conclusion over the next weeks on AMC, viewers have already started to predict who won’t be making it out of the final season alive.
Lydia is currently top of the list of characters who The Walking Dead fans are convinced will be killed off in the hit drama’s final season.
In the latest episode, Aaron (Ross Marquand), Jerry (Cooper Andrews), Lydia and Elijah face off against a horrifying new strain of the dead on their way to Oceanside.
Once they’re back on the road, Aaron pulls Lydia aside for a heart-to-heart and encourages her to act on her feelings for Elijah.
He warns her not to risk losing another love after her short-lived relationship with Henry (Matt Lintz) came to a tragic end.

Her new relationship with Elijah could be an optimistic throughline during these final episodes of AMC’s flagship Walking Dead series.
However, long-term fans know better than to assume the fledgling couple will get their happily ever after and have already made some bold predictions for the final series.
Redditor pfdfour slammed the new development, commenting: “This Lydia Elijah romance feels really unnecessary to waste time with for the final season.”
While pichusine predicted: “R.I.P. to this doomed relationship.

The Walking Dead fans are convinced at least one of these characters will be killed off
“I don’t want Lydia to die, but I also don’t want Elijah to die either.”
And GeekTrollMemeCentral was certain: “One of Lydia or Elijah is dying absolutely.”
Concerned fan @wickedcheezit tweeted: “Is Aaron going to die? Is Princess? Is Lydia? Omg. I have so much anxiety right now.”
Erica Arianna exclaimed: “Lydia don’t fall in love either you or him will die and I can’t stand to watch that happen!!”
And Julie Waters said: “Lydia and Elijah sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Which of course means one of them will probably die.”
Many more fans agreed Lydia and Elijah have almost certainly received the kiss of death now they’ve become romantic.
Couples in The Walking Dead rarely stay together without some form of tragedy striking, so it may only be a matter of time before another zombie attack tears them apart.
Plus, the series is building up to an epic last battle against the Commonwealth, and it’s possible Lydia will be just one of several fatalities in the ensuing carnage.
