Of course, the biggest issue on the mind of fans right now is the situation with Negan and The Saviors having Rick and many of those close to him in a very sticky situation. Thankfully, there have been promises that the situation will be resolved immediately when the show returns, but that still leaves time for a lot of fallout from the encounter with Negan and his lady Lucille.
Under the direction of executive producer and special effects master Greg Nicotero, the season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead should be one of the most watched episodes in the history of the program, with many fans worried about the fate of their favorite characters and those close to them.
