I like to think that Carol is a dyke but it is deadly to be a lesbian on TV.

The Independent calls it "...this trope - also known as "Dead Lesbian Syndrome" - is heightened by the way in which Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) managed to survive a bullet to the eye in episode nine while the arrow to Denise's eye kills her instantly."

Lesbians don't live too long on TV.

So far, Tara survives.

(If you watch The 100, they killed off a major lesbian character, Lexa, too.)
