The Walking Dead's most shocking episode: Beloved character Glenn (Steven Yeun) appeared to die on Sunday night's episode, leaving many viewers in shock as they took to Twitter to voice their despair

The loyal fan continued by writing: 'Like GLENN HAS BEEN THERE SINCE DAY 1 YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME AMC'.

But viewers may not have to worry too much about Glenn as the show's creator Scott Gimple said on The Talking Dead that the beloved character may not be gone forever.

'Dear fans of The Walking Dead, this is a hard story to tell and when we were planning to tell we knew our friends at the Talking Dead would be talking to you about it and knowing you'd all be talking, and feeling and commiserating, I knew we should say something about it lest our silence say something we didn't mean to say or not say.'

Not taking it well: Many viewers expressed grief and outrage over the apparent death

Cat memes: Some fans, however had some fun with the despair

'So I'll say this: In some way, we will see Glenn, some version of Glenn or parts of Glenn again, either in flashback or in the current story to help complete the story.'

But it may not be enough, as one fan wrote: 'if glenn isn't really dead im suing the walking dead for DESTROYING my SOUL'.

Meanwhile, Sunday’s episode was a particularly gory bloodbath, with beloved characters being wiped out or mortally threatened en masse.

Taking it rough: Many viewers identified with the soulful Glenn

Death in the family: This particular meme appeared to be the most popular on Twitter

The internet collectively weeps: Many viewers bonded online after the shock episode

While protagonist Rick Grimes’ fate was left precariously hanging Nicholas did the dirty on his friend Glenn.

Nicholas (Michael Traynor) had been a pitiful coward until the end of last season, when he redeemed himself and was reintegrated to the crew’s respected inner circle.

But the ‘Supply Runner’ proved himself to be a weakling once more when he shot himself in the head, leaving Glenn to be ripped apart by ravenous zombies.

Angry: Some fans could not help but vent via Twitter

Shocking itself! Even the official Twitter account for the show seemed surprised

Nicholas and Glenn had been cornered by a multitude of Walkers - who had corralled them onto the lid of an unsteady trash receptacle.

As the hideous undead closed in Nicholas appeared to zone out into a dozy reverie, while Glenn shouted his name in desparation.

With glazed eyes Nicholas looked at Glenn, who has saved his life on numerous occasions, and said: ’Thank you’.

Dismay: Shock and despair ruled the internet hours after the episode aired

He then pulled out his gun and shot himself in the temple.

As he tumbled from the elevated surface he took Glenn down with him - and while Nicholas’ death was fast and painless Glenn was left to die in excruciating pain.

Next week the drama continues on AMC.
