Exploring Daryl And Carol’s Unusual And Charming Relationship On ‘The Walking Dead’

Warning: Spoilers for all five seasons of The Walking Dead below

, the relationship between Carol (Melissa McBride) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) has grown from indifference into a caring, familiar, occasionally flirty back-and-forth. While it has helped give the generally grim show some necessary moments of levity, it also provides a metric of how these two characters have changed as a result of the world around them. When they first appeared, Daryl was a wiry, high-strung survivalist tweaker covered in squirrel pelts, and Carol was little more than a marginal character defined almost solely by her abusive husband who relegated her to gossip-free laundry duty.

Over time, their stories continued to intertwine well beyond that of two people who share a desire to survive this new world, and over time Carol and Daryl, (or Caryl, if you prefer), have evolved into a kind of platonic power couple ideally suited for the zombie apocalypse.
