The Walking Dead universe is constantly expanding. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: Spin-off series, set to debut in 2023, follows the misadventures of Norman Reedus' Daryl Dixon after the original show. The crossbow-wielding protagonist soon encounters a French nun named Isabelle, who was a party animal in her youth.
Norman Reedus"a passionate kiss
As things unfold, Daryl Dixon ends up sharing a kiss with Isabelle, which takes the Walking Dead fandom by surprise. In a recent discussion, Reedus shed some light on the much-discussed scene.
According to Reedus, the romantic angle between Dixon and Isabelle was purely experimental.
During a conversation with Entertainment Weekly , the Bikeriders star was asked about the unexpected kiss between Daryl Dixon and Clémence Poésy's Isabelle in episode 2 of The Book of Carol . Reedus responded that the sequence wasn't meant to hint at a romantic arc for his character. "I think it was an experiment. It was, 'What is this?' It wasn't a 'This is it!' It's a 'What is this? And what would that look like and feel like,'" he said. "I don't think there was any intention to go to second base. I think it was more to part these curtains in a terrifying way to look at the idea of it."
