www.ew.com/article/2016/11/03/walking-dead-norman-reedus-daryl-season-7Steven Yeun has come out and said Daryl should not be blamed for Glenn’s death on The Walking Dead, but there may be one key person who disagrees with that — Daryl himself. For all the talk about Daryl Dixon’s badassery, the true key to the character lies in his emotional vulnerability, and after an event like this — where Negan killed Glenn after Daryl stepped out of line and struck him to protect Rosita — you can bet that he will be hurting. We spoke to Norman Reedus to get some scoop on what Glenn’s death means for Daryl going forward, and unsurprisingly, the forecast is bleak.

think from the spoilers for , this will be Daryl's theme of the season, or at least one of the most important parts of his journey

Persistent self-blame is relative in this show.. He'll carry it forever obviously... Though most of the characters are carrying the death/blame for something or other and it hasn't, on screen, been shown to eat them constantly for the rest of their days.
Although for Daryl, this will be on another level of guilt than stopping babysitting duty for a moment, or not finding Sophia day 1. Glenn played a core part of the group for couple years, was to be a father...

Guilt aside, I would love to see him interact with Glenn's baby when it is born. I love the touching moments on this show and they are few and far between.

When ever Norman says" Daryl will go to a dark place" I usually roll my eyes, because he has been saying that line since Merle died in season 3. But for the first I believe him on it.
On this " He never forgives himself and he takes full responsibility" I think yes he will carry the guilt.But Daryl will find away to move forward and live with it like the other characters do.
I really don't get the stuff with him not wanting Daryl to get blame. “Man, I hope people don’t think it’s my fault. I’ll catch a lot of flack for that.” If the show didn't want Daryl to get flack for Daryl's actions. They shouldn't have written the scene the way they did.

Think of all the things the show had allowed Daryl to get away with. They've brushed over his flaws for years and so the audience has politely looked the other way. This one just went too far. the idea of the audience actually holding Daryl accountable is giving me life. Not just because of my personal feelings on the character but also because it shows that Glenn's meant a lot more to the audience than tptb gave him credit for.

It's really bad.. that no one it's seems on the show thought the fandom would blame Daryl... like they thought Daryl thoughless actions in the line up would be just accepted as him having a superhero moment . I agree the show obivously underestimated the love for both Glenn and SY. which also is another factor in showing how out of touch the TPTB are with the fans

I mean it's hard to say - I don't think he'll lose his fanbase, obviously, but if comments from places like EW are concerned I'd say there's a more negative tone on Daryl than positive in this instance. Honestly its just too clear he was an idiot in that scene for most to defend, I think. The blame in this case seems inevitable

To tell people that "it's not Daryl's fault " I would say there must be some kind of backlash happening beyond the fandom. why else would they have SY give a interview saying it's not Daryl's fault. And have everyone on the show say the same thing" it's not Daryl's fault. " Will lexcept for JDM who decided to blame Daryl on TTD.
