Yeah well recently they've been killing off main characters left and right - the main characters on American Horror Story are dead and gone from the show. Other recent examples include some biggies from Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and Falling Skies.

The rules for cable are different from regular network and the rules now are very different than they were for the "red shirt" throwaway deaths of years gone by.

I think Jeff could easily kill off Colton to show the audience how "real" and "edgy" his writing can be. That being said, I don't think he will.

Kate and Peter were brought on specifically to die in Season One. I think that is Jeff's pattern. He brings in characters and gives them really good arcs, gets the audience to love or hate them and then kills them off in spectacular fashion. As a viewer, it is a very satisfying trope.

As for breakout status - Tyler Posey and Dylan O'Brien both worked on features during the break. Dylan also just got cast in another big budget thing. Colton done a few shorts and the other Tyler worked on an indie. So if there are breakouts it's Tyler and Dylan and oddly enough Mrs. Argent she did two features and a TV movie during the break.
