Still sighing with relief that Norman Reedus’s Daryl survived The Walking Dead Season 5 finale, and thus you can abandon your rioting plans?
So is the actor, who tells Yahoo TV he not only doesn’t want to see Daryl die, ever, but he’s already got an alternative idea, should Daryl ever need to splinter off from Rick’s group.
It was huge for Daryl this season that he forged this friendship with Aaron, someone he didn’t know very long, very well, but who he trusted. Why do you think the two of them bonded so quickly?
People asked me, “Why would Daryl sacrifice his life for Aaron?” [when they were surrounded by walkers in the car], and I’m like, “What makes you think Daryl’s going to die?” Daryl just thought… he was going to take the heavy load and go first.
Daryl Dixon is one the principal characters who fans can’t get enough of. Rick’s second-hand man survived season five, but Daryl is the constant source of rumors regarding major character deaths on TWD.
Norman Reedus lovers might be comforted by a rumor involving the book version of ‘The Walking Dead.’ Daryl’s character is not in the comic books, so his fate is completely a mystery…
BUT it’s a strong possibility Dixon is based on comic book character, Jesus. Also known as Paul Monroe, the survivor resides in a community called the Hilltop Colony as a recruiter. After initially mistrusting Rick, Paul become Rick’s loyal ally. As of the current issue, Paul is still alive. Perhaps we might see Paul’s character worked into the show, or maybe Dixon will continue filling the gap?
