.... unpredictability keeps viewers on the edge of their seats and the shows' stars in a constant state of alertness.
"You see series and they last a long time and sometimes the writing gets lazy or the acting gets lazy. Because we're in a zombie apocalypse and anyone can go at any time, it sort of keeps us fresh and on our toes," Norman Reedus told The Associated Press Friday.
Fans lined up around the block to watch a panel discussion with Reedus and his co-stars at Paleyfest, the annual Southern California TV celebration. Many in the crowd showed their support for Reedus' crossbow-wielding character, Daryl Dixon, with their "If Daryl dies we riot!" T-shirts.
The 44-year-old actor says his vocal fan base is responsible for his character's impressive longevity in a series that seems to have no qualms in axing its most popular characters.
"Hell yes. Oh my god, yes," he said. "(They're) keeping me on the show."
"The Walking Dead" focuses on a rag-tag band of surviving refugees, including unruly brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon, who were not part of the series' comic book origins.

Just what the hell are you about? Have you been drinking or something?
Just wondering why you are writing what you are over an opinion over a TV show.
Yes I;d like to see Daryl get out there more hunting etc for the crew, you don;t like what I like then so be it but stop being foolish and wise up.
The Gov has lost it, I think he;s on his way out soon and the blond woman takes over. Forget her name now.
After Raylan said something cool like, “Didn’t your mamma ever tell you not to play with guns. You might put an eye out.”
you’re a barrel of laughs
Just tuned in,and got my popcorn. Merle is my favorite. Then again I always pulled for Vader in all the Star Wars episodes. Lol.
I hope Daryl dies a long and painful death and that all the tee vee herd goes over the cliff in insanity. : )
Michonne is one of the best characters on the show. She doesn’t follow along and questions why. I’m getting tired of Andrea. For all of the mouthing off she does about not wanting to be treated like a woman, she sure is acting like one.
If Daryl dies, I cancel my cable.
********************************************
I don’t know about cancelling cable, but I’d be highly pissed off. Daryl should continue living and make a major contribution to surviving humanity’s gene pool.
Indeed. I watched S1 & 2 on Netflix and got hooked. Then I tried waiting on S3, but couldn’t do it. I upped my pkg to include AMC so I could watch it on TV. and yes, I know I could watch it on the ‘net but it was so unappealing to me, I just got the channel. :)
I view Andrea as a typical liberal. I think in the comics she was a civil rights lawyer before the zombie apocalypse happened, so maybe that explains some things about her. ;)
Wow now there’s a surprise I wasn’t expecting. I figured that guy was long dead.
is that the guy from the first episode
???
Yeah. The son is missing.
On the wall was written “Zach turned” . Was that his sons name?
And we thought Rick was going loony.
Is this a bit like the Twilight fandom??
No kidding! Under the circumstances, can ya blame them.
Vampires are pansies.
For some I think when it comes to Daryl. Lol.
