I really don't think age is going to affect the outcome of who is going to die -- I think it will have to do with storylines that Jeff wants to write, and which cast members the studio execs bring in the most viewers.

Because of the studio execs input, I'm fairly certain that Derek isn't going to die but it's hard to say since pretty much everyone in the cast is wildly popular.
