Melissa on Carol and Daryl on ‘The Walking Dead’: “You Never Know”

October 20, 2018

Carol’s relationship with King Ezekiel is The Walking Dead‘s hottest new romance but one which depended on Daryl’s approval.

In the Season Nine premiere, King Ezekiel was seen proposing to his love Carol after an 18-month time jump allowed them to spend plenty of time together off-screen. Carol, at first, denied the proposal and insisted he put the ring away. However, after a late night conversation with her long time pal Daryl, she got the blessing a went ahead with the engagement in Episode 9×02.

“She’s not ready [in Episode 9×01],” McBride admitted to ComicBook.com. “For her to accept means a couple of things that she is totally committed to him. And what it meant before this ever happened is like, ‘Okay he’s king. Self-appointed king.’ What does that mean really? Well yeah, this self-appointed king that meant I had to do everything. So there’s still the residual feelings but then on the other hand she knows that they are completely different people. And for her I imagine it’s very difficult.” In fact, McBride’s Carol has not worn a ring since she shed the one her abusive husband put on her years ago prior to the apocalypse.

While making herself vulnerable was a brave choice in itself, it did not come without the Episode 9×01 conversation with Daryl. “His blessing did mean a lot to her,” McBride said. “She wanted to know if he is still gonna be cool!”

As for whether or not there is still hope for Carol and Daryl romantically, a storyline many fans have begged for since the early days of the AMC show, McBride can’t rule anything out officially. “You never know, you know?” McBride told ET (via FanFest). “I love how they have each other’s back. I love their relationship. Whatever it is, I love their relationship. The fans can look forward to more Daryl and Carol scenes.”

Carol and Daryl have a lot in common in terms of their experiences. More so than Carol and her King. “They’re very different,” McBride said. “They have the playing the roles in common, and those little survival tactics in common, but they’re very different. A nice yin-and-yang. I’m kind of excited to see her open herself up to maybe experience a little romance.”

“The Walking Dead” Episode Stills Added

Melissa on Carol’s New Love and Evolution

September 27, 2018

When Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes leaves The Walking Dead in Season Nine, Melissa McBride’s Carol Peletier will become the longest running survivor still on the series. Through the upcoming episodes, though, the character will undergo some considerable changes as life in Alexandria settles down in its post-All Out War era.

While visiting the set of The Walking Dead’s upcoming season, ComicBook.com caught up with McBride to talk about how a time jump will have changed her character. Not only will she have opened the door to romance, having taking on a serious relationship with King Ezekiel, but she will also be more hardened and equipped with new weapons to take on whatever threats may be lurking.

“I think what we see of Carol is a whole new rebirth from the woman that she was when we met her, to the woman that she is now, and I don’t think there’s any going back,” McBride said. “Once you experience that voice for yourself, that way of life, it’s very difficult to just submit to whatever. I don’t see her doing that.”

In the zombie apocalypse, characters have had little success in the way of relationships. Rick lost his wife. Carol lost her first husband. Aaron lost his boyfriend. However, like Danai Gurira’s Michonne, Carol is embracing an attitude of living “in the moment.”

“I mean anything could happen at any moment, and also that’s her being in the moment, to allow a relationship to happen,” McBride said. “But then again, it’s like I can take it, but I can’t take the loss. I can be with you, but it’s going to be on my terms, and that’s important to her, and the King is very complicated.”

In fact, that complicated nature of King Ezekiel may be what attracted Carol to him. In a sequence from the Season Nine premiere episode, Carol discusses her romance with long time friend Daryl, and acknowledges he is quite “corny.” However, after so many years with an abusive husband and suffering such tragic losses through the post-apocalyptic years, “corny” might be what she needs.

“I think he just has the way about him, and he’s very different than anyone she’s ever encountered, that most people have encountered,” McBride said. “I think just some of the masks that they wear, they have that understanding, ‘I know where you’re coming from.'”

Relationships or not, the women of The Walking Dead are being credited by several cast members — especially Norman Reedus — as the main drivers of the upcoming season.

“I’ve seen a couple of [episodes], but that the women are being put into positions of leadership and making really, really hard choices, and not backing down, keeping their people safe and that’s exciting to play. I really like Angela [Kang]’s point of view. It’s fresh, and new, and different for a myriad of reasons. She herself is a really interesting person who has a very interesting world view, and I just think the time is now, it’s nice to know for sure.”

Fear the Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC. The Walking Dead returns for its ninth season on Oct. 7, 2018.
