A New Family Dynamic

The most important moment that audiences have watched! A special friendship came out of nowhere!

This duo is one you want to see and they certainly were formed through the chaos and madness of the Walking Dead world. This friendship developed as Carol tries her best to take on an unusual persona for a specific mission that had "Ash" as her partner in crime.

It's such an interesting turn of events for both. One that you can tell could really make things go haywire.

You might find Daryl Dixon making it a mission to bring the two great heroes back together but it's clear there is a need for a close bond to exist. It wouldn't make much sense if "Ash" was completely removed from the series.
