Throughout the course of TWD, the show has done an admirable job of sticking fairly closely to the storylines birthed in Robert Kirkman's original comics. There have been big differences (ex: the way Lori dies, introducing completely new characters, etc.) to be sure, but by transferring Glenn's death — which is one of the most noteworthy deaths of the entire series — to a different character, it almost feels like it would be kind of a cop-out, especially after his is-he-or-isn't-he-dead storyline earlier on this season.
Nobody wants to see Glenn go. He, along with Maggie and Daryl Dixon, is one of the most likable characters on the show, and it's safe to say his death would rival Noah's revolving-door mauling from last season in terms of repulsion. Sadly it's been a long time coming, and we'll have to wait to see what actually goes down during the finale on April 3.
