I actually am considering deleting this blog post because my theories have changed so drastically since I've written (after the Season 3 trailer release). The tweet from Aaron Ginsburg, apparently, was extremely misleading. I just found one website that said he had tweeted that one of the four characters I listed were going to die, but what he actually said was that a fan favourite was going to die (something along those lines) and the website I found that on translated that to "Octavia, Bellamy, Lexa, or Clarke" when it could be anyone, really.

Personally, I think it's going to be Lincoln now. I had my worries about Bellamy for a while, but for different reasons than you. Bob Morley has been spotted on set since the trailer release, which only had the first thirteen episodes. This mean that if his character is to die, it will be in the last three episodes. I think I know the article you are referring to, but I assumed that they were talking about where Octavia is at at the beginning of the season or midway through, not at the end (the only possible time that Bellamy could die, really). So I doubt that if asked what Octavia was doing in Season 3, they would tell the interviewer about how she is after Bellamy's death (if he were to die) because that's going to be at the very end of the season if it happens. Sorry, I think I'm explaining this very poorly.

Plus, I still kind of think that they'd be making a really risky move by killing Bellamy. They'd lose a sizable chunk of their fanbase and I really hope that Jason is smart enough not to kill off a much-loved character just for shock factor. His death would have to do something to move the plot forward in some way. Right now, I think Bellamy serves more use to the show alive than dead, to be honest. Killing him seems like a lot of wasted character potential. That's the great thing about Bellamy: his development could go in so many different directions. It would be a shame to lose such a fantastic character.
