The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has revealed that he pushed for the TV series to kill Rick Grimes off in an early season but, thankfully in our opinion, the writers insisted the character be kept on the show.
During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con recently, Kirkman recalled how he'd regularly burst into the AMC hit's writers' room and pitch the lead's death, claiming that it'd be an amusing way to "freak out" viewers. "With Walking Dead, I was much younger and much more reckless," Kirkman said (via Entertainment Weekly). "I was an absolute lunatic. I would be like, 'Kill Rick Grimes today! I don't care! It'll be funny!'"
