The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon episode 5 reunites Norman Reedus’s titular survivor with a familiar face – but not in the way you might think.
Way back in April 2022, AMC stated that Melissa McBride, who plays Carol Peletier in the hit zombie franchise, would no longer be fronting the spin-off alongside Reedus, due to the fact that it was filming overseas. Showrunner David Zabel evidently found a way around this, however, as Daryl talks to Carol over a radio in the show’s latest installment. (Though it’s worth noting that the scene is essentially a flashback and he’s in Maine at the time, not France).
