Watched the S10 opening last night, no longer a big fan so I was not that into it. Carol has always been my favorite character and I had a crush on Daryl / Norman for the longest time I have never been a Caryler but always hoped for those that were that the two would end up together. I have never had much hope it would happen but last night sealed it for me, Caryl is not going to happen.
After watching last night In my opinion they could not have made it any more clear that Caryl will never happen. They heavily hinted that Connie and Daryl might be an item although I believe it will never happen. I think they are on the old track that Daryl can never be truly happy so Connie will die before anything major occurs.
How many times can they say best friends, friendship bracelet, friends etc It’s hammering over the head that nothing will happen. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the fact that Norman sees himself as younger than his 50 years We all know he was pleased to be paired with 20 somethings. Maybe it’s the shows writers who want to keep Daryl alone because they think it will keep women fantasizing and watching a dying show. Maybe Mel doesn’t want to see their close friendship end up romantic. Whatever it is I now truly believe Caryl will not happen.
I watch the show without any leaning toward a ship, it’s just not my thing. What I saw clear as day was the writers were heavily hinting Daryl and Connie liked each other. It’s great Daryl wanted to be with Carol when she returned but they hammered home it was because he missed his FRIEND. And Carol gave no indication she thought of him as any more than her best bud.
I wish there was more but in my opinion there is not. I hope for all the lovely Carylers I have met along the way I’m wrong. I’m not really going to watch the show like I did 5 years ago, it’s just not the same. I wish all diehard TWD fans the best!
