"The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Benefits from Carol's Absence in Spinoff" discusses how the decision to exclude Carol from the spinoff series starring Daryl has actually been a good move for the show. Daryl and Carol were beloved characters on the main show, but their relationship had already been thoroughly explored. Daryl's solo journey in the spinoff has allowed for new and interesting dynamics with other characters. While Carol could potentially make appearances in the spinoff, focusing solely on Daryl has proven to be a successful approach.
