The Walking Dead
While the main point ofThe walk Deadwas surviving a zombi apocalypse and the evil humans leave behind , there was more to the series than just survival horror . It was significant to evidence there could be a future worth populate for , and that includes finding honey and start up families . Rick Grimes lose his married woman and Logos , but he found passion with Michonne . Negan obtain a wife , and even Eugene found someone who love him for who he was , and they had a child to upgrade in what they hope to be a skillful world . However , the one somebody who never get dear was Daryl Dixon .
Daryl started the show as someone who was almost subservient to his brother , but once he joined Rick and the other survivors , he became so much more . Daryl became a guardian and a leader , and he was one of the main reason that the people who survivedmade it toThe Walking Deadfinalein one part . However , through it all , the one thing that never happened was aWalking DeadDaryl Dixon love story . There were people that fans ship with Daryl , with Carol Peletier at the top of the leaning . Despite this , Daryl became a lonely wolf to the end , when he rode off by himself into the sunset .
Honorable Mention: Leah
Leah is the closest Daryl has ever come to an actualWalking Deadrelationship . They did have a romantic partnership and could have had a future together . but Daryl was spooked and find it too difficult to have someone in . He was also perturb with trying to survive , learning to live with someone else rather of being the lone wolf he always was , while grieve his acquaintance Rick . Leah is an honorable acknowledgment because , while a relationshipdidactually happen , it did n’t amount to anything . What ’s more , it ended withLeah trying to drink down Daryl and his peopleonce she recognize he betrayed her . She chose her chemical group , The Reapers , over him .
Sasha
Sasha did strike up two romances on the show , first with Bob and then with Abraham . The bad of the romances was with Bob , as Sasha was a battle prove warrior and Bob was more of a meek someone who put hoi polloi around him in risk . However , her family relationship with Abraham made more sentiency because the two of them were tough as nails and seemed to fit together substantially . However , Sasha could have been a good burst with Daryl , as both had the same combat feeling .
There was also a key taradiddle ground why Sasha and Daryl could have been an interesting pairing . Daryl came from a home life that was take with hate , as his brother Merle was totally racist , and that soaked off onto Daryl for a long time . Seeing him fall in love with Sasha could have designate that he had grow and changed into a better world who did n’t share the views he grew up around . Her relationship with Abraham was strong , but Daryl could have been a mate had they struck up a bond first . Both were trap by Negan and hold hostage , and both made serious sacrifices for the group in ordination to save them . They could have been a dream team together on the show .
Alpha
The thought of thisWalking Deadromance might be belly - turning , but the disturbing facts about Alpha fromThe Walking Deadsuggest that she ’s really capable of having a family relationship , at least in some mode . She even pursued a sexual rendezvous with Negan , presenting it to him as a reward for a job well done , but that might have been plainly for the sake of positive reinforcing stimulus . Of course , that backfired on Alpha when she diedas Negan seemed to finally consent her offering only to slice up her throat , cease her terror to his the great unwashed .
While Daryl would n’t be one to accept such an offering , both he and Alpha lived like feral cats . They are n’t afraid to get down and pestiferous and are n’t focused on appearances , cleaning themselves up , or being considered attractive . Had Alpha not been so evil and cruel , and had she manage to survive , the two of them could have been a brace . Negan proved that some villains could be rehabilitate , and it is n’t out of the realm of possibilities .
Jadis
Like Daryl , Jadis was very much a survivalist , so much so that she would only utter in fragmented sentences , suggesting she was turn ferine . Daryl is also a military man of few Good Book , and the two might have struck up a bond , had they met under dissimilar circumstances . While Jadis seemed to take a liking to Rick , and later on Gabriel , Daryl would have been far more of a kindred spirit . Plus , she might also have appreciated Daryl ’s no - gimcrackery personality and deficiency of reluctance when it come to fighting .
Jadis was also someone who care to be left alone and preferred to remain isolated from communities . It was a perfect match if the two had run into each other under different fate . However , with Jadis responsible for kidnapping Rick Grimes - even if she did save his animation - there is no chance Daryl would want anything from Jadis now except for retaliation .
Beth
What was move on with Beth and Daryl ? leave to run away on their own , they shared familiar conversation about their lifespan , salute together , and seemed like a sweet span out on the first date . Of of course , this may also have been interpreted as a chum / sister eccentric relationship , rather than a romantic one . Some of the most disturbing moment come when Daryl and Beth went off alone and had to fight to protect each other . It seemed their pairing was inevitable .
Whatever the case , Beth ’s life was cut unretentive before anything could materialize between them , beyond their firm emotional bond . Beth ended up with Carol in a infirmary where the survivor there draw survivors into work roles to give up them the right field to remain protected there . However , when Daryl showed up to save the two , Beth consider the chance to dig her captor , Dawn , and theformer cop instinctively fritter Bethin the head . meet Daryl take the air out of the hospital with a dead Beth cradled in his arm remains one of the saddest and most tragical moments of the intact show . Did Daryl love Beth ? The betting odds say yes .
Andrea
Andrea and Daryl were among the first of the grouping when the apocalypse hit . Daryl had a much bigger chip on his shoulder at the time , and he was much more strong-growing and prostrate to fits of craze . His torture at the thinking of losing Merle in Atlanta did n’t help ; neither did his inability to get Sophia in season 2 . On the snotty-nosed side , Andrea had just dealt with the loss of her sister in a zombie onset , which left her feeling suicidal . It was Dale who convinced her to flee the doomed CDC in the first season ofThe Walking Deadand she did n’t forgive him for letting her hold up .
While Daryl was starting to finally derive into his own , Andrea still need someone to assist her figure thing out . That never go on and when Andrea ended up in a bizarre family relationship with The Governor , that finally pushed her over the boundary , and she finally took her own life via a zombi bite . If Andrea and Daryl had fallen for each other and help one another develop , things might have played out very differently - specially when it come to Andrea ’s destiny .
Michonne
While Michonne and Rick were definitely aWalking Deadpower brace that fans fuck , she would also have made for a natural love stake for Daryl , had things played out other than . Both of them are survivalists who are n’t afraid to throw down for the sake of their people , and that would translate into an instant adherence . The red ink of Rick opened up an chance for the two to perchance get together , but that never panned out . Both became pillar of their respective communities , while Michonne still yearned for Rick . When she learned that he might still be live , she went out look for him , in effect nixing any possible Romance language with Daryl .
The comics showed how thing could have changed for Michonne . There was no Rick and Michonne in theWalking Deadcomics , just as there was no Daryl Dixon . Instead , Rick fell in dear with Andrea - who was a very different individual in the comic strip ( theCarol and Andrea reference flip-flop placesin the comics ) . That was the making love Rick found , and Michonne instead paired up with King Ezekiel . If Rick had paired up with Andrea , think Michonne and Daryl getting together on the television show , which could have been the ultimate power couple .
Laura
Laura was once a high - ranking Savior under Negan , but after his fall , she switched face and integrated into the community . It ’s surd to class her as an malign character since her intentions were merely to survive . The season 10 close " Here ’s Negan " showed Laura in a flashback before the Saviors were even a thing , and she was most definitely a heroic character reference at that sentence . It ’s potential she and Daryl might have set off up a romance down the ancestry , but that was not to be . The arrival of the Whisperers effectively ended any chance of that when Beta brutally bolt down Laura , ending her complex character bow for honorable .
With all the questions about what could have happened inThe Walking Deadif sure characters did n’t die , one wonders if Laura could have been an important ally and warrior down the line . She remain one ofThe Walking Deadcharacters who deserved more screen time , and it is well-to-do to see someone like her with that spirit hooking up with Daryl if she had n’t died .
Jesus
One question that has never really been answered in the series is Daryl ’s sex . Given this , it ’s quite possible that he and Jesus might have made a go of it at some point . The two start out comparatively as opposites . Jesus was extroverted , personable , and well with people , while Daryl was a more distrustful lone wolf who enunciate very trivial . Fans loved fancy the two chasing after one another in Jesus ' first scene . Had the two managed to bring together more often and strike up a friendly relationship , it could have been something more .
There was also a dainty history built up if Daryl ended up gay . He end up build a hard connectedness with Aaron and Eric , the first openly festal couple onThe Walking Dead . It was Eric and Aaron who facilitate Daryl get his bike lick again and , despite his bigotry from puerility , Daryl never looked down on Eric and Aaron , and that add together some questions to his own sexuality , especially since he never give into one of the fans ' best-loved ship . In the comic , Aaron dated Jesus , but Jesus died in the idiot box show . If Daryl was sunny , there was n’t a better peer on the show than Jesus as a partner .
Maggie
It might have been inapt for Daryl to mint up a romance with Maggie after pose so close to her sis , Beth . Plus , by that prison term , Maggie and Glenn were already married and hopelessly in sexual love . But had Maggie not had eyes for Glenn from the start , she and Daryl could have made a great pair . Maggie was always a strong - willed leader , but became a fierce warrior as well , over prison term . She and Daryl could have been gross together , had things gone down differently . alas , it ’s punishing to see it working out , given that Daryl ’s activity prompted one of the most brutish expiry ofThe Walking DeadwhenGlenn fulfill the end of Negan ’s chiropteran .
With the fashion things turned out with Negan , there was no way that Maggie and Daryl could ever get together . She might not have at once blamed Daryl for Glenn ’s death , but it was his fault . Plus , after Glenn died , Maggie had no further interest in love or creating a romanticist connection with anyone . It seemed Daryl Dixon and Maggie Rhee were very similar at the end , deciding they were always better off alone .
Connie
The only time Daryl showed any likeness of butterfly in his rock - hard stomach was when he was spill the beans to Connie . Since she was deaf , Daryl had to find unique mode to intercommunicate with her , via what little sign spoken language he knew , plus script motions , expressions , and of row , kiddish love mention . It ’s clear they both had a matter for one another and that chemical bond remain strong . After Connie ’s apparent dying at the mitt of Alpha ’s scheming , Daryl search inexhaustibly for her . Connie pull round the ordeal , which meant there was still a flutter of hope for the two to find peace of mind together .
Connie survivedThe Walking Deadfinale , but there was no romantic happily ever after for Daryl Dixon and Connie . She was part of the final battle and in the end , Connie specifically try out Daryl and pelt along to hug him . It was a fresh second as Daryl revealed he was now eloquent in house spoken communication so he can talk to her and he seemed very pleased to see that she was finally glad . However , Daryl left the Commonwealth and Connie behind to go search for Rick , meaning he collapse up on anotherWalking Deadromance possibility .
Carol
Viewers ascertain tell - tale signs that Carol and Daryl have a affair for each other as far back as the first two season . Since then , they ’ve grown together as the respectable of friends , despite many hurdle over the class . They know how to talk to one another , they would go to the death of the earth for each other , and their hamper appears unbreakable . It may just be a really tightlipped friendship , but it always seems like there ’s something more mill about beneath the surface . It ’s safe to say that the window of opportunity has passed them both by , specially given the tragic things that have materialise that cross out some of the sorry thing about Carol onThe walk Dead .
However , there is no one in Daryl ’s life history that he care about more than Carol - and that might include his own brother Merle and his closest booster Rick . buff wanted to see Daryl and Carol together for year , but it never happened despite the show teasing it more than once . When Daryl left at the final stage of the finale , it looked like it closed the door to their relationship . However , with the news thatCarol might appear inThe Walking Dead : Daryl Dixon , it count like thisWalking Deadlove story might not be over yet .
