\"Daryl
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The love life of Daryl Dixon is a maddening series of might-have-beens, whether you\u2019re watching from the sidelines or championing your OTP of choice. His journey is still unfolding on The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon \u2013 The Book of Carol<\/a><\/em>, but it\u2019s difficult to imagine him getting attached to anyone after so many dead ends. <\/p>\n

Norman Reedus is one of the only actors to appear in all 11 seasons of the flagship AMC series.<\/em> Daryl is a massively popular character<\/a>. Even a casual TWD<\/em> fan recognizes \u201cif Daryl dies, we riot\u201d as a battle cry. This franchise has a sex symbol for everyone, and he\u2019s the dirtbag, maverick, antihero with a heart of gold. But the character himself, for lack of a kinder term, does not fuck<\/em>. Daryl has had one romantic relationship in the franchise thus far, and it happened off-screen. This is not a judgment! It is an observation and personal fascination of mine. <\/p>\n

Daryl is what Holly Golightly would consider a wild thing. He belongs to nobody, and nobody belongs to him. And like the Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s<\/em> heroine and her \u201cno-name slob\u201d cat called Cat, the truest partner that Daryl has is his dog named Dog. <\/p>\n

Why the hesitation to partner him up, one wonders? It\u2019s not like The Walking Dead<\/a><\/em> is anti-romance. There have even been love triangles. It\u2019s as if Daryl is a celebrity whose manager wants him to stay single for his image, so that everyone in the audience thinks they have a chance. <\/p>\n

That has not stopped fans from shipping him with certain characters, sometimes based on moments in the series and sometimes based on a vibe or feeling. People love to try to pin down a loner. These potential partners are all different, which to me says more about the fan than Daryl. He’s quiet and introspective, which makes him a good blank slate to imagine Daryl with anyone at any given moment, like:<\/p>\n

Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride)<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Carol and Daryl have talked about running away together. They exchanged friendship bracelets well ahead of the Swiftie trend. Carol calls Daryl her pookie. (\u201cShe\u2019s not gonna go pure sweetness,\u201d said Scott Gimple, who first wrote the sarcastic term of affection into a season 4 script, of the choice of nickname in an AMC featurette<\/a>.) But Carol asked Daryl point blank if he wanted to \u201cfool around\u201d back in season 3 (\u201cSeed\u201d), and laughed when he shook his head. They\u2019ve been best friends, nothing more, ever since. This is exactly the kind of platonic soulmate relationship that audiences and critics alike claim television is lacking, most recently with The Bear<\/em>. <\/p>\n

While Carol has had multiple romantic and sexual partners on The Walking Dead<\/em>, Daryl has not. So, for the hoards who ship this pairing, the proverbial door is still open. Sure, there is always the possibility that The Book of Carol \u2014 <\/em>or whatever they\u2019ll end up calling Daryl Dixon<\/em> season 3 and 4 \u2014 contains the longed-for friends-to-lovers storyline. Just remember that Carol is not afraid to be direct, and Daryl has a pattern of keeping people he cares about at arm\u2019s length. <\/p>\n

Beth Greene (Emily Kinney)<\/h2>\n

\"Daryl<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it\u2019s for the best that this relationship stayed platonic. Beth was a teenager when she and Daryl bonded in season 4\u2019s \u201cStill,\u201d the episode that launched this ship. The world does not need any more age gap discourse than it already has. But if it were any other two characters, the stand-alone episode in which the two get separated from the group, play \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d with moonshine, reveal personal truths, and blow off steam by committing some old-fashioned arson would have been a key plot point in a romantic arc. The two characters got separated shortly after this episode, and Beth died minutes after they were reunited. At the time, Reedus mused in an interview with CinemaBlend<\/a> that Daryl didn\u2019t understand and was \u201csort of uncomfortable\u201d with his feelings for Beth. That points to some kind of romance aversion on his part, at least in the first third of the franchise. But, again: teenager. We can let this be. <\/p>\n

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)<\/h2>\n

\"Daryl<\/p>\n

To my mild surprise, this is the number one romantic pairing for Daryl on the fanfiction site Archive of Our Own. (In fairness, it\u2019s significantly less popular on fanfiction.net, which is sometimes more reflective of older fandoms like The Walking Dead<\/em>.) Daryl replaced Shane as Rick\u2019s right-hand bro in the early seasons. Given the rock-solid monogamous marriage between Rick and Michonne<\/a>, it should come as no surprise that this did not become \u201ccanon,\u201d so to speak. <\/p>\n

But I do understand the appeal of exploring Daryl\u2019s queerness. The dearth of significant romantic storylines with female characters, plus one vague and mildly problematic quote about co-creator Frank Darabont once wanting Daryl to be \u201cprison gay,\u201d<\/a> entertained that possibility for years. In addition to Rick, fans have paired Daryl with Jesus, Glenn, Negan, and even Shane. I once foolishly had my eye on his camaraderie with Aaron; Ross Marquand\u2019s character saw Daryl\u2019s value in a way other characters didn\u2019t. He\u2019s the only person who has gotten Daryl to dress up \u2014 for a party in season 5 (\u201cForget\u201d) that they ended up skipping together. That didn\u2019t grow into anything either, and it\u2019s not even a popular pairing, but I\u2019m still a believer. <\/p>\n

Connie (Lauren Ridloff)<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t long after Connie insisted on accompanying Daryl\u2019s search and rescue mission in season 9 (\u201cGuardians”) that fans noticed and started commenting on the spark between them. Daryl learned sign language in order to better communicate with her. He\u2019s not a particularly verbal character to begin with, so they made a good team. He smiled<\/em> when he saw her, which is rare. Dog approved of Connie. Even Carol thought it was kind of ridiculous that they weren\u2019t together. She probed him about his feelings for her in season 10 (\u201cBonds\u201d) only to be met with a \u201cIt\u2019s not like that\u201d from Daryl. Puh<\/em>-lease. <\/p>\n

Their flirty momentum got interrupted when Ridloff temporarily left the show to flirt with another dirtbag, Barry Keoghan, in Marvel\u2019s Eternals<\/em>. When Connie returned in season 11, Daryl dropped a whole bushel of apples to run and give her a hug. But still, nothing happened! This one is a stumper, though perhaps Daryl had a romantic mental block about Connie because of what happened with Leah. <\/p>\n

Leah Shaw (Lynn Collins)<\/h2>\n

\"Leah<\/p>\n

The one<\/em> post-apocalyptic romantic relationship that Daryl definitely had happened during a time jump. In season 10 (\u201cFind Me\u201d), we learn that Daryl ran away while searching for Rick and lived with a veteran in the woods and her dog, the famous Dog, for about a year. It\u2019s difficult to discern what exactly was so different about Leah in just one episode, but it seems like proximity, stubbornness, and a kindred reclusive spirit won him over. But while Daryl was willing to leave his family of survivors behind and risk it all for her, The Walking Dead<\/em> was not. She vanished just as he was ready to tell her how he felt. When Leah returned in the final season, she was with an antagonistic group called the Reapers. Long story short, she threatened Maggie and Daryl killed her. So much for that happily ever after. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that the flashback episode was shot during the early, pre-vaccine days of the pandemic. So the physical aspects of Daryl and Leah\u2019s relationship are implied only. The reason we don\u2019t see Daryl and Leah even kiss on screen was health and safety related. Convenient, perhaps, but understandable. <\/p>\n

Isabelle Carriere (Cl\u00e9mence Po\u00e9sy)<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon<\/em>, the spinoff that whisked the titular character off to France, introduced yet another person who connects on a deep level with Daryl. In season 1, Daryl and Isabelle shared some intimate conversations, an \u201conly one bed\u201d scenario<\/a>, and a charged sponge bath. But nothing explicit, in a sexual or clarity sense, has happened between them. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting about Isabelle, aside from Po\u00e9sy\u2019s soulful performance, is how you can draw parallels between her ex-partner, relationship with her sister, and alternating sense of hope and nihilism to the women in Daryl\u2019s past who came before her. She\u2019s even a leader raising a child whose deceased biological parents were having an affair behind her back, like Rick! <\/p>\n

Beth and Leah are dead. Connie is an ocean away. Carol is on the way. Rick is, again, very loved-up and married to Michonne. Is Isabelle the lasting, meaningful, passionate romantic interest for Daryl that we\u2019ve been waiting for? (If that\u2019s even a thing you\u2019re waiting for, at this point; I obviously gave up the fight.) Or will it fizzle out and go nowhere, like all the ones that came before? If there\u2019s one lesson to impart from all of this, it\u2019s to not get your hopes up. That post-apocalyptic, can\u2019t-be-pinned-down, lone-wolf image is just way too tempting. <\/p>\n
