Fans are worried that Jerry (Cooper Andrews) might be all ready to say goodbye to not just Ezekiel (Khary Payton), but 'The Walking Dead' as a whole. Cooper Andrews posted a clean-shaven look of himself on Instagram, a drastically different look from his character on the show, and fans are worried about just what that might mean.

When we last saw Jerry, he was exchanging a tearful farewell with Ezekiel in what many fans feel may have been the last time. Ezekiel, joining the search party to meet another community of survivors, tells Jerry to look after the Kingdom in his absence. It's an emotional scene, and fans now fear for Jerry's life in the show proper, though thankfully Cooper Andrews appears as hale and hearty as ever.

You can watch the possibly final farewell between Ezekiel and Jerry below:



 

Jerry was introduced to 'The Walking Dead' alongside Ezekiel in Season 7, as Ezekiel's advisor, and has been a loyal companion to not just Ezekiel, but the survivor community as a whole, in the days since. Though his character has a devoted fan following, he's always been relegated to more of a supporting role in the show's large ensemble cast. With Season 10 coming to a premature end, there's a lot of worry that another major death may soon be on the cards.

The next episode of 'The Walking Dead,' Episode 15 — 'The Tower' — will be an early end to the show's tenth season. With the season finale being indefinitely delayed due to coronavirus concerns, fans are wondering who is going to be the next to die on the series where longtime survivors are few and far between. 

With Beta (Ryan Hurst) and an army of both Whisperers and walkers on his side, it's only a matter of time before someone else gets hurt. Beta has a serious gripe with the survivors, as they've managed to kill Alpha (Samantha Morton), whose face he now partially wears on top of his own. One thing is for certain, nobody is safe — and certainly not Jerry.

The next episode of 'The Walking Dead' airs April 5, on AMC.
