Read this on a spoiler site:

I just read in my new TV Guide that Matthew is going to be punched in the head by one of Eddie's sons and he will become close to brain dead and is on life support..... At the same time Clint's condition is suddenly worse,

Bo and Nora have to make a decision!!!! Looks like Clint will be receiving Matthew's heart.....

It seems pretty lame to kill off yet another young Buchanan male.
They've already lost Drew and Duke.Why not kill off a Ford?None of them serve any purpose and I doubt if they would be missed by anyone besides Inez,Deanna or possibly Starr(for at least a week before she
moves on to her next true love).

I don't like Matthew but killing a teenager off so that an old coot like Clint can live seems wrong.

I am not convinced yet. They're playing it too much like we're supposed to think he's gonna die without confirming EA's exit. Something's too fishy.

I can't wait to see Nate beat Matthew up!

Matthew getting beat up would be just what he deserves but I'd also like to see Clint and Brody get assaulted, too, and Rex, for the way they dish out beatings but ITA that killing Matthew off is a bit harsh, even though I hate him. Then again, if I had to pick between one of the Fords and Matthew, I'd pick Matthew. TPTB have totally ruined Matthew.
