In regard to Reedus' character sexuality, show creator and producer Robert Kirkman has said that "there are specific ideas" for it, according to reports by Celebuzz. Kirkman addressed the issue of Daryl's sexual orientation in "The Walking Dead" comic book issue No.130.
Apparently, a comic book reader posed a question to Kirkman about Daryl's sexuality, comparing it to another "Walking Dead" character, Jesus, who has been confirmed gay. "All I can say is that it's been discussed. If there's ever a quiet period in the show where he's not consistently distracted by crossbowing... we'll tackle it in the show," Kirkman further said addressing the readers question.
Moreover, he also said that the production house would be absolutely ok with the Daryl turning into gay, according to further reports by the website. Norman recently sat down for an interview with Connect Savannah and talked about his liking for Savannah. He said that a ghost tour is scheduled in the Georgian city every year, and he likes to make the most of it. The fan favourite actor said he really likes "the architecture, the people and the vibe of the place."
He also revealed the reason why fans adore his "The Walking Dead" character Daryl Dixon. He said that Daryl has many child like qualities and he "wears his heart on sleeve," this probably makes him connect with the audience. Furthermore, Reedus loves his job and acting for the popular, post-apocalyptic horror drama television series, as further reports by the website.
"The Walking Dead" season 5 premiered on Oct 12, 2014. The series is developed by Frank Darabont. The AMC's series is based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.
