We chatted with Reedus to get his thoughts on the semi-sabbatical and Daryls big return.

Yeah, its a little hard to sit on the sidelines.

But I do trust Scotts vision, where hes going, and I think hes a great storyteller.

So Im backing him and everything that hes doing.

I like watching the other actors work, but yeah, its a little hard.

I would call people up and be like, Hey, how did it go today?

So its a little difficult, but its definitely a different drive in the second half.

You didnt really get to workmuchwith of them at all.

It is kind of weird.

It feels like the band split up a little bit.

My storyline sort of took me away from Alexandria while Alexandria was being attacked, so it makes sense.

But yeah, Im definitely excited for people to see the second half.

I definitely have more to do.

So were going to get more Daryl in the back half?

Yeah, well definitely have a steadier dose.
