As a seasoned gamer and long-time fan of The Walking Dead, I’ve seen my fair share of heart-wrenching moments and unexpected alliances. But nothing quite prepared me for Daryl’s romantic journey in “The Book of Carol.
Heads up: This article divulges details from the Oct. 6 episode of The Walking Dead titled “Moulin Rouge,” which features Daryl Dixon and Isabelle. My dear! In this latest installment, Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Cl?mence Po?sy’s character, Isabelle, didn’t verbalize their affection with “I love you,” but they did share a tender kiss during a picturesque moment overlooking the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France. It is worth noting that Isabelle isn’t Daryl’s first romantic interest on The Walking Dead; that distinction belongs to Leah, played by Lynn Collins. However, this episode marked Daryl Dixon’s first onscreen kiss as the previous romantic developments between him and Leah occurred off-screen (due in part to being filmed during the pandemic).
The episode included scenes of Daryl teaching Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi) and his aunt Isabelle to play American baseball, and Daryl inviting Isabelle and Laurent to come with him when he returns to America. After Jacinta (Nassima Benchicou) staged Laurent’s kidnapping to lure Daryl away from the Nest so that Union de L’Espoir‘s more fanatical followers could ambush the American and proceed with a ceremony to test Laurent’s immunity to zombie bites, Daryl and Isabelle had to fight their way back to the abbey with Fallou (Eriq Ebouaney).
While they were biding time until the low tide to retrieve Laurent from the Nest, Isabelle agreed to Daryl’s suggestion for them to return to America together. She later introduced him to the French term “dépaysement“, meaning a refreshing change of environment that offers a fresh perspective. Intrigued, Daryl leaned towards Isabelle and shared a kiss.
As a devoted fan, I must say that the notion of ‘home’ holds a unique resonance for Daryl, as Reedus shares in AMC+’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — The Book of Carol Episode Insider. It’s like these bonds and connections between characters are being woven together more intricately. According to series creator and showrunner David Zabel, this family-like bond between Daryl, Isabelle, and Laurent has grown even stronger in season 2, making them a distinct trio.
After a brief stopover in Greenland, Carol (Melissa McBride) and Ash (Manish Dayal) arrived in Paris, where Carol was searching for her lost friend. Despite the hopes of fans who ship Carol and Daryl together, the show is not planning to delve into a romantic relationship between them or a love triangle scenario.
During a discussion about potential romantic development between Daryl and Isabelle in our post-season analysis, the showrunner stated, “Throughout this narrative, these characters forge a profound bond with each other.” Zabel elaborated, “The intention was to portray a mature relationship, where they are attracted to and comprehend one another on multiple levels. Whether this evolves into romance is subjective; it depends on the interpretation of the viewer at this point.
Zabel and Reedus aimed to steer clear of a “TV romance” that felt too cliché or overused. Previously, The Walking Dead hinted at a potential relationship between Daryl and Connie (Lauren Ridloff), but later focused on Daryl and Leah. However, there’s an intriguing history between these characters, so they didn’t want to tarnish that past or contradict it. Instead, they intended to create a unique relationship between Isabelle (Clémence) and Daryl from the start. The strong performances of both Clémence and Norman have been crucial in achieving this, as the intention was always for viewers to feel a deep connection between them.
New episodes of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — The Book of Carol premiere Sundays on AMC and AMC+. Stay tuned to ComicBook/TWD and ComicBook TWD on Facebook for more Walking Dead Universe coverage.
