The Walking Dead fans, rejoice! Norman Reedus is trying to make the annoyingly long wait before season 6 a bit more bearable by talking about Daryl Dixon’s love life.
During a recent interview with E! News, Reedus once again brought up his desire for Daryl’s first time to be super-awkward, and he also dropped a hint about Daryl’s future that Caryl shippers won’t like — it sounds like his Walking Dead character probably isn’t going to hook up with Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride).
“I like all the awkward things in between that make a person and make it honest. I think that that character, once he shacks up with somebody, he’s going to be with them for life. I don’t want to blow my wad, so to speak, right off the bat, you know what I mean?”
Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier have demonstrated a high level comfort around one another on The Walking Dead – Carol calls Daryl “Pookie,” he tells her she looks ridiculous when she engages in Betty Crocker cosplay – so it’s hard to imagine Caryl going through this awkward phase. Daryl Dixon would probably have to meet a new woman to have the type of encounter Norman Reedus described above. As the Inquisitr previously reported, Reedus has dropped similar hints that he’s not a Caryl shipper in past interviews.
Norman Reedus is undoubtedly the most popular actor on The Walking Dead, so it’s not shocking that fans want Daryl Dixon to find his princess and get a fairy tale ending. However, according to Deadline, the cast of The Walking Dead seems to have a different favorite actor, and they just might riot if he ever gets killed off.
“If they kill me off I’m gonna burn my trailer down.”
Do you think Carol and Daryl should hook up on The Walking Dead? And if you had to choose, would you rather the show lose Rick Grimes or Daryl Dixon?
