Why is AMC killing off 'The Walking Dead's' Daryl Dixon if his story isn't over?
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has officially been renewed for a fourth and final season, but don't bury Daryl just yet. The fan-favourite spinoff is preparing to say goodbye in its own way, with AMC hinting that Norman Reedus' crossbow-wielding antihero may live on beyond the series. Announced during the show's San Diego Comic-Con panel, the bittersweet news confirmed that Season 4 will wrap up the France-to-Spain saga of Daryl and Carol. Production is already underway in Spain, suggesting a brisk turnaround for the final eight episodes. Melissa McBride, who plays Carol, acknowledged the emotional weight of the finale but promised a worthy conclusion. 'I'm going to revel in the moments,' she said. 'We've been working in incredible locations and I'm excited for fans to see what's coming.' Season 3, set to premiere this September, will see the survivors continuing their trek back to the United States. But only two characters from Season 2 return: Daryl and Carol, further underlining their central bond, one that's kept fans invested since the original series. Norman Reedus offered a heartfelt goodbye to viewers. 'This finale isn't just an ending, it's a celebration of what we've all shared together,' he said, adding cryptically that 'Daryl's journey is far from over.' The statement has sparked speculation that future spinoffs, cameos, or even films could be in the works. Online reactions were mixed. While many lament the series' end, others suspect AMC is simply clearing the way for yet another undead resurrection of its most bankable star. Either way, the franchise refuses to stay dead, much like its walkers.

Aussie publican receives death threats after filming controversial act with kangaroo
A tiny Aussie pub has sparked an online uproar after it filmed and shared two videos showing a controversial encounter with a kangaroo. The first is captioned 'This guy wanted to punch on this morning' and shows a large male eastern grey kangaroo at the edge of a creek, appearing scared and shaking its head as a dog barks from behind the camera. In the second video, the animal is compared to Bruce Lee because it uses a paw to deflect a stick thrown in the direction of its head. Since Thursday, the post has attracted close to 500 comments, with some respondents concerned about the presence of the dog, and others outraged by the throwing of the stick. 'The poor roo is terrified,' one person wrote. 'Not remotely funny,' another person added. 'Leave him alone,' someone else said. The Kevington Hotel is located on the banks of the Goulburn River in Victoria's northeast. It's publican Daryl said he just posts "different sh**" that happens in the bush that city-folk would be unlikely to see, and that's why he chose to share the kangaroo video. He told Yahoo News he was surprised by how quickly the situation escalated and that some of the responses have unsettled him. He claims to have received an angry phone call from an anonymous number, along with multiple threats to his life. 'There's been three or four death threats, there have been a couple of threats to burn the pub down with us in it, and there's been one to bash me… It's getting a bit ridiculous when someone threatens to kill your family. I mean, over throwing a stick at a kangaroo,' he said. Publican claims kangaroo video taken out of context While the videos themselves are unsettling to watch, Daryl argues his detractors have taken them out of context. He said he ventured down to the creek after he heard his dog barking and then called it away from the kangaroo. He claims to have had the kangaroo's own welfare in mind when he tried to scare it off from an area close to a campground where families camp with their dogs. He's formed an opinion that large males can become very aggressive when they're living close to human settlements. And he doesn't want a repeat of what occurred at a nearby property last year, when a kangaroo was shot because it was considered a risk to a woman and her dog who lived there. 'What I've done with this kangaroo is, yes, I threw a stick at it. I didn't hit the kangaroo. And the whole reason to do that was to scare it off, back into the bushland, which is behind us, so it can live for the rest of its life. And the job's been done. It hasn't come back,' he said. 'If they become a pest, they always get put down, and I don't want that to happen.' 🐳 Major change seen off Australia's coast linked to 'worrying' event 🌏 Irreplaceable 6.5-hectare forest protected for future generations 🚨 Warning signs placed around Australian shopping centre after mass poisoning Daryl said he's got a soft spot for kangaroos and doesn't even serve their meat at his pub. He claims to have saved at least three joeys from the side of the road after their mothers were hit and killed on roads, and to have euthanised multiple injured kangaroos with broken legs. 'I absolutely love and adore our native wildlife… Anyone who wants to take what I've done out of context is just a complete and utter twat,' he said. Concern viewers could copy publican's behaviour The internet is awash with controversial videos of people encountering Australia's wildlife, and social media companies like Facebook have historically refused to remove them. Daryl said he hates seeing animal cruelty videos, and concedes he was a 'little light on strategy' when he shared his own videos of the kangaroo without context. Alyssa Wormald from the Victorian Kangaroo Alliance, a non-profit that advocates for the animals, said 'the best thing' Daryl could now do is delete the controversial video. She is concerned people watching it could assume throwing a stick at a kangaroo is an 'acceptable interaction' and decide to copy the behaviour. 'Despite his intentions, it is cruel,' she said. Not only was Wormald 'appalled' by the stick throwing, she has concerns about the prolonged stress the kangaroo was under due to the presence of the barking dog. Kangaroos are not known to be aggressive to dogs unless they are feeling cornered and defend themselves. High levels of stress can result in a condition called stress myopathy, which leads to muscle degeneration and a slow death. In her opinion, the better option would have been to control the dog and then walk away 'slowly and calmly'. 'Kangaroos usually bound away from people when they are given plenty of space and an exit route,' she said. 'Even if he did scare the kangaroo into the bush, he will likely come back anyway if that is where the food is.' Wormald and her family share their property with a large old male kangaroo, and she feels 'blessed' to have him there. 'They are such special animals and deserve our respect,' she said.

Hanging out with an ex-prisoner, stung by wasps and Matt Damon

The Scotsman's Rural Affairs correspondent, Katharine Hay, has undertaken an epic walk around Scotland, meeting people, and listening to what really matters in rural communities. You can follow along with her incredible journey 'Hay's Way' by signing up to her free newsletter right here. Here's a taster of what you can expect. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Just before setting off on this walk, I remember sitting in my local pub in Edinburgh, which has since closed, chatting to a civil servant who works for the Scottish Government. I was telling him about what I was about to embark on and he was worried I'd get bored. 'You're going to arrive in these rural villages and there will be tumbleweed blowing across the road', he said to me. The last couple of weeks have, like most weeks on this walk, highlighted how that simply hasn't been the case. NW A conversation over a pint with a former inmate who had stabbed people After leaving Aberlour, where I had arrived on Hay's Way before being interrupted by various events and talks in the Central Belt last month, I popped into the Highlander Inn in Craigellachie for a drink. It's a great pub with plenty of whiskies and lovely staff. It's probably my favourite pub on the Speyside scene. Not long after I sat down, two men walked in talking loudly among themselves. The bar space is narrow, so I moved my rucksack out the way to give them a bit more room to walk in. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Don't worry, we won't steal it', the shorter, more stocky of the pair said. They both had strong Glaswegian accents and the other man was sunburnt on his face. I assumed they were likely contractors up here on a job. The small number of hotels I've stayed in Scotland in rural areas seem to mostly have contractors in. After they settled at the bar with their drinks, they asked me what I was doing with such a big bag. So, I told them. The shorter of the pair, Daryl, then told me about how he marched across 13 mountains in Scotland in one day. Reacting to the bewildered look on my face, he stressed: 'Aye, seriously, them big hills, what do you call them?' To which I replied: 'Munros?' 'Aye, munros', he said. I've only really heard of someone walking maybe up to ten in one day. But 13? Daryl then told me the day trip was made when he was allowed out for a bit while he was an inmate at a prison in Angus. He said when he was let out for the day, he 'just kept walking.' I told him I was a bit naïve when it came to prison life and didn't realise prisoners could go out for long walks in the countryside when doing their time. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Daryl explained he was in an 'open prison', designed to help prisoners reintegrate into society by allowing them to take part in activities or have a few days out when they had completed a large chunk of their sentence. Naturally, I asked what he had done time for. 'Multiple stabbings,' he said. 'In Glasgow.' Daryl said he also did time in Barlinnie in Glasgow, Scotland's largest prison. 'I've spent about a decade of my life in prison, on and off,' he said. After he'd had a few pints, he got pretty close and started showing me pictures of his two daughters, aged 2 and 5 and whom he clearly adored. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I asked him if he'd ever tell them what he did. He said yes, but not now while they're still young. 'I don't want to scare them,' he said. I finished my half pint that I'd been nursing through this entire encounter, picked up my bag and waved goodbye to the bar staff and my new acquaintances before heading on my way towards Fochabers, which would be the next obvious town for me to stop off at on the Speyside Way heading north east. I didn't make it very far that day. By the time late afternoon set in, the air around me felt like a pressure cooker and I knew the heavens were going to open. Wide. Reaching Boat o' Brigg, where a railway bridge crosses the Spey, I saw a caravan of tents over a nearby wall. Having not seen any campers in a while, I headed over to say hello. A man was speaking on the phone in a language I couldn't quite make out. It turned out he couldn't speak very good English. A very smiley man in the tent next to him popped his head out shouting 'join us!' He said the landowner had asked if they were going to camp in the area then to stick to this spot. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Not allowed to camp elsewhere on estate', the man said, mimicking the landowner, but still maintaining a huge smile on his face. I finally found out the group of four friends were from the Czech Republic and walking some of the Speyside Way together, but in the opposite direction to me. We chatted a bit before the rain finally came down after a muggy few days, so it was an early night in the tent. NW Wasps out to get me The next day, the group packed up and set off as I was still making my early morning coffee. Weirdly, within about 20 minutes of the group leaving, another four Czech men turned up, set up their camping chairs and started smoking and making coffee. It must have been their morning break. Just before leaving the camping spot, I went to put my rubbish in a nearby wheelie bin. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As I lifted the lid, I saw a wasp nest attached to it on the inside. Before I could shut it again a swarm targeted me and I was stung in three places. Limping back to pick up my bag, I warned the four burly men dressed in what looked like some sort of army gear about the wasps and they just returned blank looks. As I walked away, I did wonder if the landlord deliberately left the wasp nest there to scare away dirty campers. Fochabers Fochabers had a nice feel to it. I know it's likely something you would find in most villages or towns, but it was particularly noticeable the number of friendly elderly women out with their friendly dogs. The café where I sat to do some writing for most of the day - Greenacres Coffee Shop - also had a shrine of photos of dogs dedicated to a much-loved pooch. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The local museum is impressive and it's where I learnt about the Women's Land Army Memorial at Clochan, just outside the town. The sculpture pays tribute to all those who served in the Land Army during the world wars. Women as young as 17 signed up for the duration of the wars and took on all forms of farming and food production. As usual, I feel like I am rambling on a bit so I will stop there. I just wanted to make up for not sending a newsletter last week. I paused my route last Friday to travel down to Perth for the annual Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace. I was asked to give a talk what I've picked up on Hay's Way when it comes to conflict between communities and certain tree planting initiatives going on in rural parts of Scotland. The talk will be available on a podcast I believe. I can follow up with a link when that's ready in my next newsletter in case you wish to listen. Matt Damon If me potentially being on a podcast wasn't enough celebrity news for you then you're in luck. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Matt Damon is in Buckie. There's more to it, but I just like that sentence on its own. The Hollywood star of Good Will Hunting and The Martian is being filmed for Christopher Nolan's adaptation of ancient Greek epic The Odyssey. And they are filming off the coast of Moray. The new film has a serious line up of A-listers, including Anne Hathaway, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. The historical epic is Nolan's first film since Oppenheimer. Mr Damon has been staying at the Seafield Arms in Cullen where he apparently complimented the cuisine, calling it 'the best in the world.' The best in the world! Go Cullen. And just last week, director Christopher Nolan was spotted watching F1: The Movie at Moray Playhouse in Elgin. I haven't reached Cullen yet but, after speaking to some residents in Buckie, I gather the grand ship being used for the film is sometimes berthed in Buckie harbour. I'll be hanging around this area for a bit so I will be sure to report if I get a glimpse of the star-studded cast in what should now be called 'Moraywood.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Rural affairs news this week In terms of rural affairs news, there's little to share this week due to taking some annual leave but also, not long after the game fair, I had to have some dental surgery, so I have been a bit stationary while healing from that. I am taking the rest of the weekend to fully heal before carrying on the walk from the Buckie area. I bet this glorious sunshine we're experiencing at the moment will turn into heavy rainfall by then. Here are some stories I wrote over the last week: Life on the Spey I wrote a piece about award-winning photographer Ed Smith setting off on a year-long project documenting life on the River Spey. His adventure starts with a 10-day canoe trip down the river that runs through Moray. You can read about the story here. Gaelic Work is to start on a new Gaelic centre on Skye. It is hoped the development will not only help preserve the language but also encourage young people to stay on the island. You can read more about that here. Island for sale One of Scotland's last 'untouched' private islands has gone up for sale. A previous owner of the island reportedly lived in a cave on the islet. You can read more about that here.
