As a seasoned aficionado of cinematic masterpieces and a die-hard fan of The Walking Dead franchise since its inception in 2010, I must say that Norman Reedus‘ recent revelation about Daryl Dixon’s kiss with Isabelle in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol has left me both intrigued and somewhat apprehensive.
Hey fellow movie enthusiasts! Let me clear the air about Daryl Dixon and Isabelle – they’re not going to be romantically entangled any time soon, as per star Norman Reedus. Just like you, I was taken aback by that kiss in ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol’. Since his debut in the franchise back in 2010, Daryl has had an incredible journey, from battling walkers on Herschel’s farm to now being in France, trying to find his way home. Despite his loner reputation, Dixon has shown us a different side of himself over the years. So, let’s keep watching and see where this story takes us!
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reedus mentioned that the kiss between him and Clémence Poésy’s character Isabelle, following Daryl’s attempt to persuade her to return to the U.S., was primarily a means of delving deeper into his character rather than a romantic gesture. Long-term fans of the series, which evolved into “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” in 2023, are well aware that Daryl is not one for romantic entanglements, especially kissing, as he had never kissed on-screen prior to last night.
I believe it was an exploratory endeavor rather than a premeditated action. It wasn’t about confirming something, but rather questioning – ‘What is this?’, ‘How would it manifest?’, and ‘How would it feel?’ I don’t think the goal was to advance to a specific point. Instead, it seemed like cautiously peeling back layers to gain insight into the concept itself.
On social media, responses to the kiss were immediate and divided, with some adoring the scene while others criticized it strongly, leaving no room for ambiguity about people’s feelings. Given that Daryl has been a central character in the franchise for such a long time, fans feel a strong bond with him, so seeing him stray from his usual behavior came as something of a shock to many, and this was particularly true when you consider that Isabelle transformed from a wild child in France into a devout nun. This certainly isn’t the type of person one might expect him to be interested in. But then again, does he even have a particular type?
How Norman Reedus Interprets Daryl’s Kiss With Isabelle
When you’ve lived most of your life battling zombies in a post-apocalyptic landscape, it’s inevitable that at some point, you’ll need to pause and look beyond the immediate danger to ponder: Is this my entire existence? For someone like Daryl, these contemplative moments have been rare, as he’s mainly focused on staying alive day by day. Reedus views that kiss as one of those profound realizations, but advises fans not to anticipate an immediate romantic connection.
Here’s my take on it: He seems uncertain, as he’s never experienced this situation before and doesn’t understand its implications. His entire life has been marked by struggle and conflict, and now he’s wondering if he’s made the wrong choices. Is he supposed to have settled down, far from the fight, enjoying simple life moments before his time ends? Or is the ongoing battle part of his destiny? He’s grappling with the larger scheme of things.
As we move forward with just four episodes remaining in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol”, I’m intrigued about what lies ahead for me and the characters. Could there be a blossoming love story, or will it turn out that my past repeats itself tragically, much like with Leah so many years back? Don’t miss the unfolding drama on Sunday evenings on AMC to discover the answers.
