I've read many things about that topic. Few good examples:
If Daryl dies, I sue The Walking Dead
If Daryl dies we will riot
If Daryl dies we will quit watching.
(The last one is not true. You basically can't quit. Atleast I want to figure out how an earth are the others gonna survive. I mean if badass redneck Daryl could not make it, the other's have no chance what so ever)
I just watched Inside The Walking Dead. Norman Reedus said: If they are gonna kill Daryl I will probably set my trailer on fire and they need to call multiple police officers to escort me out off the property, cause I'm so pissed.
Good one Norman.
