As we speak at Comedian-Con, The Strolling Useless‘s Norman Reedus teased that the “Daryl-Carol story isn’t over but”—referring to the connection between his crossbow-wielding apocalypse survivor and Melissa McBride’s.
Reedus’ remark was notably notable in contemplating the Daryl spinoff, first introduced in September 2020, which is ready to premiere in 2023. Whereas his longtime TWD co-star McBride was initially set to affix him within the spinoff—reprising her position as Carol—she exited the venture in April of this yr. AMC cited journey logistics as the explanation for her departure, with co-stars Reedus and Jeffrey Morgan amongst these defending her from substantial fan backlash that adopted, as Reedus took the blame for her exit in some corners. “A few of you might have gone WAY too far,” TWD actor Morgan informed his Twitter followers on April. “Attacking Norm for crap he has NOTHING to do with? Melissa made a name that was hers alone. She needs/wants a break. Respect that. Components concerned which can be no one’s enterprise. Norm, who’s given greater than anybody to you all. Simply SHITTY.”
In a Could look on The Tonight Present Starring Jimmy Fallon, Reedus stated that McBride is taking a break, which is effectively deserved after so a few years of arduous work on The Strolling Useless. “Twelve years is a grueling schedule and she or he needed to take a while off, so she’s doing that. She deserves it,” he stated. “I think about [Daryl and Carol] are gonna meet again up sooner or later and I would even meet up with another characters down the highway. However she’s taking day without work and within the meantime, they have been like, ‘Hey, you wanna go on a mission?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah! Let’s go on a mission.’”
