AMC's "The Walking Dead" became popular for its intense storytelling and dynamic characters. While heroic duos made a significant impact on audiences, villains sometimes turned into beloved characters. In a Reddit poll, Daryl & Carol, played by Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, were voted the best duo in the show's history, with 222 votes. Their close bond and chemistry, as well as their evolutions over the course of the show, made them influential with viewers. Fans expressed sadness that McBride will not be part of the spin-off show featuring the two characters.
