SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you have already watched Sundays season 10 premiere ofThe Walking Dead.
And does said love involve the most unlikely of subjects?
We saw Connies sister Kelly make a gesture when Daryl approached.

We also learned that Daryl was teaching himself sign language to better communicate with the newcomer.

It was super, super hot.
Gene Page/AMC
They have those little No-See-Um bugs that fly around and I was getting bitten.
So it was cool, at the same time it was a lot of work and it was hot.
So yeah, it was fun, but it was hot.
Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride ride onto ‘The Walking Dead’ as Daryl and Carol.Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
I think he definitely has started viewing her as an equal.
I mean, she can take care of herself.
Theres been moments where Daryls going, Im going left, and she says, Im coming with you.
And he goes, No, youre not, but shes like, attempt to stop me.
I think he admires that about her.
I think the bond between them is a genuine bond and theres a lot of respect there.
Ive taken sign language classes the past few years and its not easy.Yeah, definitely.
So I came on the set doing it and everyones like Stop, stop.
I was like, What did I do?
There are little tiny things that mean a big deal.
So, Im still learning.
So its just such a topic of conversation forever.
But once you do that, its done forever.
So I want to be really careful with doing that and I think Angela does as well.
But itsThe Walking Dead,so as soon as something good starts happening, it all goes down.
You know what Im saying?
So I dont want to get me too happy or I might get bitten.
Whats going on with those two?Look at all the stuff that happened to her last year.
She lost a lot of friends with those heads on the spikes and one of them was her son.
So shes lost her daughter on the show, shes lost her son on the show.
Shes having some problems.
Hes trying to bring her back to society, wants to keep an eye on her.
Why dont they just get on his bike and head west like she suggests?You never know.
I just think theyre sitting on a log and theyre daydreaming.
Life is so hard sometimes, especially on that show for those characters.
They say What if we did this?
Theyre kind of daydreaming about stuff.
Were kind of window-shopping opportunities.
I think its what you would do.
Youd be, Meh, I just wish things would be different right now.
So its two friends doing that.
Sparking a little openness to them.
We all agreed to that after the storm.
Then later he says, Sometimes I think were just surviving one fight to the next.
Is it that he just cant handle another war and the losses that that could mean?
I think its a wiser Daryl than weve seen before.
Rick taught him a little something.
Things are as good as they can be right now.
So why put everyone at risk making a decision like that?
What was it like filming the fire scenes in the woods?Oh my God, it was hot!
Its a controllable fire but its a big fire and it was kind of all over the place.
Youre like Were in the woods in Georgia right now making a forest fire on purpose?
This could go horribly wrong.
So there are a ton of firemen in fire trucks.
It was pretty wild.
To see a giant satellite in the forest around, it was pretty crazy.
Then you have your continuing threat and then youre going to have a Trojan horse scenario happening.
So theres a lot coming up.
Its an intense season.
