Tiffany Ruble on Facebook asks: “Will Carol and Daryl ever hook up?”
Other than questions about the origins of Negan and Lucille, this is the question that I get the most often. And sadly, it’s one that I don’t share a popular opinion on…so I have been avoiding it a bit. But one can only dance around it for so long.

Honestly, I don’t get any kind of physical attraction between the two characters at all. In the scenes where they are together, there is a definite bond, but it is more about respect and admiration than lust or sexual attraction.
Fans would love for their ‘queen’ and ‘crossbow king’ to get together and a be a duo that could only be rivaled by Rick and Michonne, but it would feel so unnatural that it probably wouldn’t pay off the way that the relationship between ‘Richonne’ did.
So, while I hope that this hookup or relationship never really develops, there will still be hordes of fans cheering for this moment to happen on their television sets. Meanwhile, I will be rooting for Carol and King Ezekiel to make The Kingdom theirs.
What do you think of these answers? Did you find any meaning to Morgan’s ramblings? Are you hoping Daryl and Carol get together? And does the storytelling in Telltale’s games make you mad?
