Yahoo News Daryl will go rogue in Walking Dead season 8
Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead season eight premiere, 'Mercy'.
The Walking Dead returned in dramatic fashion last night (October 22) as 'All Out War' begins between our heroes and Negan.
In last night's season opener 'Mercy', we saw Rick Grimes and Negan finally face off after over a season of build-up.
While this will undoubtedly be the first of many battles, it looks like Daryl Dixon, who was a prisoner of the Saviors last season, has some unfinished business with them too.
"There definitely is [personal revenge]," Norman Reedus who plays Daryl, told Deadline. "I mean, we're sticking to a plan in the first episode.
"Everybody has their job in the plan, and it's a very thought-out, well-conceived plan. But yeah, Daryl's just out for revenge at this point. He's tired of playing around.
"He's tired of waiting, and there are several moments this whole season where Daryl pretty much goes rogue.
"He wants to do something faster and quicker, which might not be the smartest thing to do, but he's just fed up. He's ready for revenge."
Speaking of his own role in the new season of the AMC show, Reedus added: "Well, it's a lot of Rick's story, so we're following Rick's plan, and we're seeing it through Rick's eyes.
"The biggest challenge I think is fitting in with the group. I mean, you could take every single character on this show and make a spin-off off every single one.
"So, when you have this many characters on a show, sometimes people are spinning left, people are spinning right, but the whole direction is we're going forward. So you always got to keep in mind what the main goal is towards the end, you know?"
The Walking Dead continues next Sunday (October 29) on AMC in the US, with FOX and NOW TV airing the show a day later in the UK.
