Probably. They don't want to kill off too popular of a character, they are probably focus testing right now lol. Seriously though, the fact that Daryl is even on this show at all speaks to how the producers view these things. Norman Reedus is the most popular, so he stays, that's honestly how I see it. I like his character but he is pretty one dimensional and hasn't really developed at all outside of seasons 1-3. He has taken considerable screen time from Glenn, Tyrese and Abraham too in my opinion, and as a result all three have been very underutilized for the most part. There's only 45 minutes a week but Daryl's being a badass loner seems to take up a lot of it. All because he's popular, I honestly don't believe they weren't planning anything for him until his fandom became apparent. Now he's just kind of shoe horned in a lot of the time, it will be interesting to see where they go with him.
