They've done this in previous seasons many times before - where it seemed like he died but he managed to survive again. Second, I think that if a main cast member were to die, Jeff would tell us beforehand so we can prepare for it like he did with Allison's death in 3b. He's simply said that there will be deaths - but did not specifically say a main cast member. Also, this season is not suppose to be as tragic as 3b.

What I am worried about is Derek leaving, more than anything. They could easily write him off leaving Beacon Hills with Braeden - starting a new life and possibly even a family. Additionally, Dylan Sprayberry is confirmed as a series 5 regular. That makes our main cast 7 people, including Hoechlin. I feel like someone could be leaving in place of him, and out of everyone, Derek seems the most likely. There's been rumors and speculation. With that being said, don't get depressed yet. Tyler Hoechlin has been appearing at all these conventions and genuinely loves being apart of the show. We've had so many scares before, but he always ends up being in the next season.

Over all, I agree with your comment. However, you might want to reconsider your argument about Jeff giving us prior warning. They got a lot of flack for how much they hyped up the MCD last season, he could be overcompensating his dialing back in response.
