The news came out earlier today that Melissa Mcbride will no longer be part of what was known as the Carol and Daryl show and it will now just focus on Daryl in Europe. It’s being said that Melissa couldn’t stay in Europe for the duration of filming so she was dropped from the show.
First of all I think that instead of trying different options for the location of the show they just decided to get rid of Carol, is a bad idea as part of the excitement of this spin-off is that it would continue Daryl and Carols relationship which has been there from the start. This news has dampened my excitement for this show now as I feel that we will have lost some of the heart of the show.
In addition to it being less exciting without Carol on board. It also shows the problems with AMC announcing projects to early. Many walking dead fans have been critical at AMC for spoiling their own shows my making announcements before hand. For example they announced Kim Dickens was returning as Madison and also announced the Maggie and Negan Spin-off. By announcing this spin-off over a year ago it has had peoples hopes up for something before it was all confirmed.
Overall I hope that in the near future we will be able to see Carols journey counting in some form and that AMC stop announcing projects before they are ready.
