Go to most web sites that sell TWD stuff, sort by frequently sold, and about half of the top 10 best sellers are Daryl figures, Daryl shirts, Daryl motorcycle jackets, Daryl crossbows, etc. Rick is the only one who comes close for individual merchandise stuff.
That's why I'm leaning towards Carol getting killed and using that to have Daryl leave on his own. It leaves the door open for a return and doesn't anger the fans (or leave them bored). If they need an out for Daryl, Carol is the most logical choice. She's popular, but not too popular, and she's not core to anything (like Rick or Carl), but she has a relationship with Daryl that would be enough to make him go off the deep end.
I smell a SPINOFF!!!
