Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) has always been a fan favorite for his tough, no-nonsense demeanor and lack of romantic entanglements. However, the latest episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 took fans by surprise as Daryl shared an intimate kiss with Isabelle (Clémence Poésy) during the episode’s final moments.
Daryl and Isabelle, brought together in post-apocalyptic France, have bonded over their goal of protecting a young boy named Laurent. Their relationship grew deeper over time, eventually leading to the unexpected kiss. Norman Reedus commented on this development, stating fans shouldn’t expect it to go any further, saying, “I don’t think there was an intention to get to second base.”
The scene had challenges, as Reedus revealed that mosquitoes constantly flew into their mouths during the filming. Despite the difficulties behind the scenes, the kiss marked a significant milestone for Daryl, who has kept his distance from romance throughout the series.
Reflecting on past kissing scenes, Reedus shared a humorous story from Dark Harbor, where he shared a scene with Polly Walker. He recalled going in full tongue for his first major on-screen kiss, much to the dismay of his co-star, who was audibly struggling during the take.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 continues, offering more surprises as the story unfolds each Sunday on AMC.
