I see two possible scenarios for Clint:

a) His character dies, as sort of an homage to Clint Ritchie's passing.
b) He reunites with Viki, and they remarry as part of the series finale.

You haven't seen the big new spoilers/spumors have you? Unfortunately, Clint may not be the one we have to worry about. I'd actually prefer Clint dying and getting a chance to redeem himself. Alas, we seem to be throwing another character under the bus in order to save him. The only thing keeping me from believing that they ARE doing this is the lack of official word that the other actor is leaving the show.

Is it the rumor I posted above?

^^^^Yeah that's it. Problem is that "close" to braindead isn't good enough for me and without confirmation that EA is out, something doesn't feel right.

Raven's saying that Matthew will die unless they've tweaked things. (How conveniently worded) But she was also chanting before how the child death is the result of the bullying story, and everything I see points to Nate "killing" Matthew.

ITA with you, Kral, though Matthew is pretty cold-0hearted himself. Mini-Clint dying so Clint Sr. can live - might hate Matthew but having one bad character die to save another bad character?

Well... problem is, I don't like either character so it's going to fall flat for me, though it wont' be nearly as bad as the travesty of a cancer storyline with Gex and Shane. I've only watched one other storyline that left me as annoyed and disengaged by the end and that was GH's mock cure of breast caner when magic snot and fantasy dreams cured Em's cancer. GH's storyline was REALLY insulting and offensive but Shane's was just pathetic and lame.
