Walking Dead Showrunner Addresses Daryl's Sexuality, Confirms Gay Male Character Is On the Way
By Michael Ausiello

Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman set tongues wagging earlier this month when he floated the possibility that original survivor Daryl Dixon could be gay, telling ComicBook.com, “It’s been discussed.”

Now, the AMC hit’s showrunner, Scott M. Gimple, is weighing in on the “Is-he-or-isn’t-he?” buzz.

“We know all sorts of things about the characters that we haven’t revealed,” he shares, before insisting, “[But] we’re not holding back information on Daryl’s sexuality as any sort of big reveal. The fact that there’s still a question as to what Daryl’s orientation is in Season 5 absolutely speaks to Daryl’s character; he is a very guarded, very closed-off individual in a lot of ways. We have been able to see him ever so slowly open up and show the other characters aspect by aspect as to what makes him tick. That’s been a very satisfying journey for all of us on the creative side to portray. [And] he’s still on that journey

“This is a character who is going to continue to grow closer to the other characters,” he continues, “[and] let his guard down, and let them see just who he is, in every way.”

Should it turn out that Daryl does not prefer the company of men — an issue Gimple says “is not really addressed” this season — the EP confirms that the show does plan to introduce a gay male character. The timing of said character’s arrival, however, is being kept under wraps.

So I guess Aaron and Eric are on the way.

The Walking Dead is on the cover of EW this month!

Love these.

I hope I get the Daryl cover in the mail.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Rick's face on that cover.

 

[Sawyer]

It almost looks like he's doing the "Dat Ass" face.

 

[Daltonio]

Rick. F'n. Grimes. What a badass. I need to go buy that one.

Father Gabriel is looking cool, too. Can't wait to see him on the show.

 

[FrozenBanana00]

Still got a long wait. October? That sucks.

 

[Daltonio]

Still got a long wait. October? That sucks.

Ehhhh. It does suck, but I'm used to it by now. This wait feels like it's going by a lot quicker than the previous ones, at least to me.

 

[Reek]

well at least we have Ray Donovan to tide us over

 

[Daltonio]

I've still never even seen an episode of Ray Donovan.

 

[squeekness]

I've still never even seen an episode of Ray Donovan.

The first season was great. This second season a little less so.

 

[FrozenBanana00]

Omg that's the guy from Teen Wolf!!!!!

Hey guys...

...gotta admit, I'm *just* now getting on board the "Dead" Train in the past few weeks or so, but I understand now where all the hype came from. AND just getting into the video game from Telltale....equally as stunning. This show is unabashedly AMAZING. THE best thing on television today, bar none.

Just a couple of questions for you fans:

1) I just binge-watched all of Season 1 on Netflix, and my ears are still ringing and my gut is still wrenched and my mind is official blown and all that. That being said, I understand that Frank Darabont was the driving force behind Season 1's writing and directing, but was fired after Season 2's opener. So....is the writing still up to snuff after that....? Darabont is a genius, and I just hope that Season 2 and later (I'll get started soon.... ) won't be a letdown....

2) Anybody notice that Rick and Carl these days look (and feel) just like Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee from The Road? Other than the distinct lack of walkers, that movie looks and feels like a companion piece to "Dead."
