There are also other possibilities for who might get killed, it’s not guaranteed to be Doug Stamper – and we don’t even know for sure if a major death is going to occur anytime soon.
It would actually be nice to see his character developed a little more, according to some fans, and he does have a lot of potential, especially due to his interactions with Frank. He has been a useful plot element for advancing Frank’s own character in certain instances, if nothing else.
But knowing how the show’s writing works – with the writers apparently sometimes changing details in the last moment when they’ve changed their minds on something – that rumored character’s death might not even be written yet.
Discussion boards that talk about “House of Cards” have been focusing on this issue a lot lately, and it’s clear that many fans are curious who they might see killed off in the coming episodes of the show. It’s going to be a tense fourth season, between that and the battle between Frank and Claire, who’re going to be one of the most interesting pair of rivals we’ve seen on television.
