Clarke- They're not killing of their main, who also happens to be bisexual and well loved by the community.

Bellamy- He's too popular/ integral to the story to die in my opinion

Octavia- Same as Bellamy, they're not going to want to cop any viewership plunges from the deaths of popular characters akin to Lexa's death.

Raven- Firstly she's popular, second I doubt they'd spend a whole season trying to save her and then just kill her.

Miller/Niylah- I just really doubt they're going to try and kill off another Gay character.

Unlikely:

Kane- He's quite popular too, and his character brings a nice balance to the show. I feel like the show needs its older characters, and he is by far the least likely to go.

Murphy- Again, he's now a very popular and well loved character. Murphy would need to undergo drastic character developement, as well as have incredible plot significance in order for him to die.

Indra- She's a popular minority character who just reunited with her daughter. I feel like the only reasons why they'd kill her is her being made a regular in another show/ to provide growth for Octavia.

Uncertain:

Abby- Whilst I doubt they'd introduce the seizure plotline in Season Four only for it to kill her in Season Five, she's not that popular, and hasn't really had significant characer growth since Season Two. If killed in the right way, her death could propell Clarke into another direction.

Monty- While he is the loveable kid that provides a change of tone on this show, time and time again we have only skimmed the surface of Monty's plotlines when in fact there was so much to explore. We have barely seen the way the deaths of his parents, and Jasper have affected him or much of his relationship with Harper. That being said, I feel like he could be safe with the death of Jasper last season.

Echo- Since she has been promoted to Series Regular, I'd like to say that I wholeheartedly doubt she'd be killed off, however this did happen to Roan last season, and seeing as though she's not that popular, there is a possibility she could be killed.

Madi- This could go 50-50. They might not touch her since they went to a lot of trouble introducing her, or they could kill her to give Clarke growth. However, I feel like they'd only kill one of her and Abby, not both, and that she is more likely to go than Abby.

Jackson/Bryan? (If alive)- If Bryan is alive, then I feel like it's a 50-50 that either him or Jackson will be killed, so they can proceed with one relationship for Miller. If he's already dead, then I think Jackson is untouchable.

Likely:

Jaha- Unpopular character, old, and the nail in the coffin was being demoted. I'll give him 2-3 episodes.

Harper/Emori- As the only two members of SpaceKru who haven't been made series regulars, I feel like the time is up for one of these ladies. My hunch is that only one will be killed, and if they are, then they're significant other (Monty/Murphy) will not be killed.

Gaia- I feel like they have too many characters and might use her death for shock value/ growth for Indra.

Zeke/Charmaine/Robert (New Season Five Characters)- Since The 100 Loves killing characters in/ around the season they debut in, I feel like at least one or two of the new recurring characters (including Madi) will die for shock value/ to propell story forward. I do agree with you about Clarke, however just because a character is LGBT doesn't mean they should be automatically safe. In Clarke's case she's the main protagonist so yeah she ain't going anywhere.

I strongly disagree with you when it comes to the Blake siblings. I strongly believe that at least one should die before the end of the series. Just because a character is a fan favorite doesn't mean they should get a pass. Plus by getting rid of one fan favorite you open the possibility for another character to grow into a fan favorite.

As for Raven again after 4 seasons I think it could be her time. We need to get rid of the original cast so characters like new prisoners can grow.

As for Miller and Niylah I feel Miller is safe, otherwise his father's sacrifice would seem pointless. However Niylah is on my kill list. They rarely show her, and when they do it doesn't do anything for the story. Again the creators need to grow a pair, and not be afraid of backlash from fans. Just because they kill off an LGBT character doesn't mean they are anti LGBT.

I agree 100% about Kane we need his character in the show in my opinion, however I could see him going next season if they get another season.

Murphy in my opinion could go either way I feel he's had great development throughout his run. However I also feel it could be his time. He's one of my favorites, but if they kill him off in a good way I'll be satisfied with his arc.

Indra is another character that is on my kill list. She's been around since season 2, and has had great development. She started out not trustworthy to being Octavia's mentor to one of their most trusted allies to Octavia's second in command. I think her death would be great to push Gaia into a darker place.

Abby and Madi I see as unlikely. Why go to the trouble of introducing Madi to only kill her off. As for Abby it's likely but I hope not. Abby is like the voice of reason to keep the others from doing dumb things. I guess I'm in the minority cause Abby is one of my favorites. The only reason to kill either of them would be to push Clarke into a darker place which is unnecessary in my opinion.

Monty is safe in my opinion, he has next to no character development plus we need to see him after Jasper's death. If they put him in the spotlight this season maybe, but if anything maybe season 6.

Echo is definitely on my kill list in my opinion she should have died at the end of last season. I honestly don't know what they can do with her anymore she's not that important in my opinion to be a main character. Honestly if they pulled another Roan I'd be ok with that.

As for Jackson and Bryan I hope they both die this season. Jackson has been around since season 1, and never really contributes to the overall story. He's also very overrated in my opinion, and has about as much impact as Costa does. If he ends up with Miller I'd be really annoyed. Jackson has never shown signs of LGBT, and if they go that route it would feel forced to me. As for Bryan he's on another show but if they do bring him back just kill him off, cause due to his new show we probably won't see him much anymore. Again the creators need to not be afraid to kill off LGBT characters.

Jaha I'm in the minority, cause he's one of my favorites. Just because he's been demoted doesn't mean he's dying. He might have other projects, and may not have as an important role this season. Also I highly doubt he got demoted due to not being popular. I don't know where he could go this season so you never know but just cause he's not a man character anymore doesn't automatically seal his fate.

When it comes to Emori and Harper I hope Harper lives. Emori is ok but I see more potential in Harper. Honestly I would fine with both Emori and Murphy dying this season. Emori has run her course in my opinion, while I still see a lot more for Harper.

Gaia I hope lives. If Indra dies she could be the warrior her mother wanted her to be. Read the comments above cause I really hope they go that direction with Gaia.

As for the prisoners I'm not speculating on them yet, since we know nothing about them. I think I'd be great if they killed a couple of the characters I mentioned, and grow these new characters. I feel they need to shake things up in the amount of characters they kill off otherwise they run the risk of being too predictable and boring. My Predictions weren't really based on my opinions of characters, just my thoughts.

I also took into consideration the network, because of the outrage that ensued from Lexa's death. If they were going to kill of another LGBT character, they know they're treading on thin ice. Also the 100's ratings are declining, I'm pretty sure they'll take their demographic into high consideration.
