Daryl is one of the most popular yet divisive characters on the show. He's a great character and his development has been interesting to watch throughout the entire series, plus there's the added bonus that nobody has any idea what will happen to the TV-original character. However, there are some fans who have grown weary of the Daryl hype that swirls around the show. Scott Gimple has been teasing the new half-season and specifically noted: "I will say that we are going to see much more Daryl Dixon next half-season. What that means is anybody's guess. He could be referring to a simple case of Daryl featuring more than most, or a drastic turn of events for the fan favourite. Rumours have even circled about Daryl being the next major character to die, but that's pure speculation at the minute.
