But this season anything could happen, especially with Maddi’s influence on Clarke. One thing I love about this show is nothing is certain, in a way like GoT for the most part most are expendable. We would probably have riots for sure but it’s also part of the draw of the show. Bad blood means ill-feeling / animosity. And yeah, it's okay if you think they should only friends, but there's nothing holding them back in terms of any previous events. Bellamy forgave Echo and she's done things even worse than Clarke. There's nothing for Bellamy and Clarke to forgive. They are fine.

But the show's heading one obvious way, and it's Bellarke. I have watched a lot of TV and worked in TV, and I can tell what writers are thinking from a mile off! Seriously, whatever I think will happen on any TV show, happens. And that includes couples who people have thought to be impossible / only friends.

And many writers (the smart ones who know how to write, including Jason of The 100. Best showrunner I know in TV right now) know the value of keeping the original / core characters alive. There's kind of a rule in TV that they have to know their limit if they want to keep people invested. You need to have characters who are off-limits. Think about it, and you will recognise it's there in every show. I Couldn't agree more, even the so called greatest show on tv that tells you not to get attached to the cast follows this (game of thrones). The walking dead, however despite its peak in quality lately is suffering because it didn't follow this rule. I do feel we could lose one or two OGs before the end.
