The Walking Dead fans convinced Whisperers will revolt against Alpha and join Hilltop in crushing betrayal

THE Walking Dead will return to screens in the next week for the second half of season 10.

The Whisperers, headed up by Alpha (Samantha Morton), are set to wage war on the allied communities of Oceanside, Alexandria and Hilltop.

Tensions boiled over in the mid-season finale as a group headed up by Carol (Melissa McBride) sought to destroy Alpha’s horde of walkers, which she has used as a threat against them.

However, some fans think that Alpha could come up against opposition within her own ranks, culminating in a full scale rebellion.

We’ve already seen Beta (Ryan Hurst) questions Alpha’s leadership after discovering a shrine to her daughter Lydia (Cassady McClincy), who walked out on the masked faction.

Then Gamma (Thora Birch) was crushed to learn that Alpha had lied about Lydia’s fate, leading to her developing a relationship with Aaron (Ross Marquand).

As such, perhaps more widespread mutiny is simply a ticking timebomb.

Reddit user UnderRatedLoner opened up the debate, writing: “Do you think the Whisperers’ arc will be finished?

“I think by the end of season 10 Alpha will be dead, the herd will be destroyed, the remaining whisperers will merge into the communities,” they went on.

“Beta will remain a looming threat out in the wilds messing with our people and will be killed in 11a.”

The post received hundreds of upvotes as others chipped in with messages of agreement.

One like-minded viewer chimed in: “We’ve had multiple background Whisperers talk about wanting to leave and join Hilltop.

“Most people are obviously not happy with the way Alpha is ruling.”

The comments come after Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) appeared in a Whisperer mask in the latest teaser clip, confirming his infiltration into the group.

Elsewhere, AMC released the official episode titles and plot descriptions for the next two episodes of The Walking Dead.

They promised a bloody siege of Alexandria as Alpha takes her brutal command of The Whisperers to new extremes.

The Walking Dead season 10 returns on February 23 on AMC and on February 24 on FOX UK.
