The Walking Dead Season 7: 9 Questions We're Asking After 'The Day Will Come When You Won't Be'

6. How Long Will Daryl Be A Prisoner?

The Walking Dead Questions

The Walking Dead didn't kill off Daryl, for which the vast majority of its fanbase will be thankful even as they mourn the losses of Glenn and Abraham. However, the perenniel fan-favourite didn't have things all his own way, as he was taken prisoner (again) by the Saviours.

Held hostage by men intent on tormenting him, and wracked with guilt over his part in Glenn's death, how will Daryl cope? Norman Reedus has spoke about Daryl going to a very dark place, so just what will we see him do (either through force or choice) now the animal has been caged?

There's also the question of just how long it'll last. Negan has no reason to send him back right now, and it may mean waiting until Rick captures a Saviour or two and demands a trade. Given the state he's in at the moment, that might be a while.
