Bethyl Quotes Masterblog

"The signs are all there. Just gotta know how to read them." A recollection of quotes from the cast and crew of The Walking Dead talking about Bethyl, basically proving they're canon as hell. Note: These quotes are here for reference, to use in photosets, and basically for everyone to enjoy the Bethyl goodness. I take no credit for what I copied/pasted from other articles myself, but if you use my video/audio transcriptions in forums/instagram and/or other so-called "masterposts" I would appreciate a thank you. A lot of work has been put into those transcriptions. Please be nice!

Some people need to sit the fuck down, this blog still exists and it’s an entire archive of things the entire rest of the cast and crew have said pointing at Bethyl being romantic pre-Coda. One quote doesn’t negate hundreds of others. No matter how much they backtrack on it now.

I have decided to leave the blog open for a while. I think it's nice to have a reminder of Emily and Norman's insights on Daryl and Beth's relationship, and although the producers' comments feel extremely emotionally manipulative towards the audience, they were done, so I suppose they need to be there, as well. 

Let this be a reminder of how we were all 100% misled and we aren't talking crazy when we say they lied to our faces.

When he was alone with Beth [in Season 4’s “Still”], I don’t know that he knew what those feelings meant, but they were feelings. It wasn’t so much a love affair as it was like, “Things can be good. Maybe you’re the golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s, and you’re going to show me where all the candy is.’

I think he would do anything to get them back. He's trying to be careful because of the situation but there are no lengths he wouldn't go to. He's always been like that, even with Sophia. He went the extra mile and Rick saying, "Wait for us, we'll make a plan" and Daryl says he's better off on his own. You can't really stop him. When the group needed baby formula, he just went for it. He's balls out on everything and that also goes with matters of the heart. When he feels things, he really feels them.

Daryl is thinking, "What's it going to take?" He doesn't want anything to happen to Beth, so if he can avoid bullets flying back and forth and get her out of there, that's his first option. Daryl in seasons one, two and three would have just gone in there and burned the whole building down and taken the bodies out. But now he's thinking and doesn't want to lose Beth or get hit by a stray bullet or caught in the crossfire.

Beth has meant a lot to Daryl. It wasn't so much lovey-dovey feelings; she had hope in her. Hope in anyone is hard to find in this world. He thought, "Hell, we could live in this house together and maybe things can be good. I know we're going to have to leave this house at some point but let's hold on to this for a second." If he had butterflies in his stomach, I don't think he understood what those were but he was down to feel those butterflies. She means a lot to him.

Life isn't just about surviving, it's about love and experiences and connecting with other people, and art and music. I do think you see the characters just starving for that. We're not just animals surviving in this apocalypse, we're human beings trying to make sense of our lives and to have some sort of purpose and enjoyment, and love is one of the biggest ways to feel connected to life and to feel like your time means something. I think it's cool that people see that, and who knows what will happen. It's the fun of the chase, the unknowns of what could happen next. It's cool when people care so much about the characters that they do want to see them in love and they do want to see them do fun things besides just survive.

Do you think Daryl and Beth’s relationship is more of a brother/sister bond, or more of a romantic relationship?

[bluevein]

Q: Do you think Beth was fortunate to be kidnapped and ended up in a hospital rather than go to Terminus? Emily: Terminus was awful […] Although she would be with her family and that’s worth a lot, isn’t it?

Actually, she kinda does.

We don't even know what condition she was in when we last saw her but Beth is strong and a survivor. She's going to be in pretty good shape.

“Daryl has not excelled with the ladies or the men before this season. He was like “If you hug me, I’m gonna stick a knife in your chest.” But we need to be true to the story, and when a relationship happens, it happens. I’m open to all of it.”
