The Walking Dead Season 9: Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

5. Daryl Dixon

The Walking Dead Daryl
AMC

With Rick and Maggie on the outs, Daryl is one of the few characters left to fly the flag for the original survivors, and Norman Reedus is the show’s most bankable star.

Regardless of whether or not reports of a bumper payday to stay on are true, Reedus IS going to be the face of the show post-Rick.

There’s no indication Reedus would want to leave - he’s said quite the opposite - and while Daryl isn’t the kind of character who could carry storylines the way Rick has, he’s nonetheless a fan-favourite, a badass hero, and even though the show has largely wasted him the past few years, is someone they can still do plenty with.
