Fans of AMC's "The Walking Dead" and, in particular, Daryl Dixon, have said multiple times over the years that they will riot if and when the producers kill off their beloved Daryl.

Now, "The Walking Dead" star Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl, has announced that he himself will start the riot if and when Daryl gets the axe.

In an interview with Variety, Reedus said, "I will be passing out matches if that happens â€” I will be starting the riot."

"I put a lot of work into this character for a long time, and I really like my job, and I like all the people I work with an awful lot, and I like all those fans that have my back, and I have their back, and I'm trying to do a good job for them as well," he said. "So it's one big family that I'm proud to be part of."

Judging from the actor's comments, it may be fair to assume that it won't be Daryl who gets Lucille'd in "The Walking Dead" season 7 premiere, which will reportedly pick up right where the season 6 finale left off â€” just as Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is beating one of the Alexandrians to death with his barbed wire-covered baseball bat.

Meanwhile, a character from season 6 has been confirmed to make an appearance in season 7.

On Monday, June 13, "TWD" actor Xander Berkeley, who played Gregory in the previous season, tweeted that he has arrived in Georgia for the filming of the next season of the AMC zombie apocalypse series.

"Landed in Atlanta!" Berkeley wrote. "Hilltop here I come! Psyched for #Season7 of #TWD !!"

In season 6, Berkeley made his first appearance as Gregory, the leader of the Hilltop community. While his group became an ally to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his band of survivors, the character was also quite sneaky. It is unclear whether or not he will be friend or foe to the Alexandrians in the upcoming season.

"The Walking Dead" returns for its seventh season in October.

The last time I had in n out burger and didn't eat it, I had just been cast in a show called girl meets world! Tonight I sit here and I can't eat my in n out burger because life comes full circle. We speak in the language of love, heartbreak, friendship, family, sadness, and laughter. Wherever we are in the world, whatever we believe in, whoever we love, we all speak that language. We had the privilege of growing up in front of your eyes. The privilege of teaching the lessons we were learning ourselves and beyond that. To the family that was created on our set, between the cast and crew, thank you for giving us the ability to make mistakes and to grow. I felt so safe in that bay window. People thought it was weird that I was excited to go to work. People thought it was weird that we really did and still do love each other. That's a rare entity, we hold that tight. Thank you Disney for giving this show and these characters the chance to see the light of day. I know I feel very lucky to have given life to Maya hart. MJ- without you I wouldn't know most of what I do. I also probably would have never had 2 paint fights in my lifetime. We live in an intricate world. We can be adversaries whilst being allies. To everyone that watched our show and felt something, thank you. To everyone that grew up watching Boy Meets World and decided to give our story for a new generation a chance, thank you. And to the little girls reading this, You can do whatever you put your mind to. You're gonna meet the world now, and I think you'll love it. "There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life." - Fellini
