Speaking to ComicBook.com, Stephen Ogg said: Yeah, I mean, shit, its like whenever people say, Are you going to die? Or do you know yet?

Yeah, everyones going to die at some point, right? They all die. Lets thin the herd, man. Lets thin the herd.

Considering Oggs character was only just recently promoted to series regular status, could Simon be potentially on the chopping block after some extended screen-time?
