I like Daryl a lot more now that Prick's gone. I wanted to pick Negan, but I only remember him truly being Negan-like in one or two episodes. Jerry continues to be a ray of sunshine. I kinda like Beta, but I think that's mostly because I like Hurst. Also enjoyed the pain-in-the-ass Savior boys at the beginning of the season.

Surprisingly enough. Daryl did so much in Season 9! The show brought back the Daryl I used to love! Maybe it does have to do with Rick being gone, now that's he's not his little lap dog anymore *shrugs*.

Rick was great in the beginning of the series, but I liked him less and less as the season went on. I never hated him (except for that moment in S4), but I started to nothing him more and more.

Loved also Negan, Aaron, Jesus, Eugene, Siddiq, Jerry, Alden, Luke and Beta.

I usually enjoy Ezekiel, but he took such a drop during the last episode with how he treated Carol. Urgh.

I hated the shit out of Jed, but that's just because he threatened Carol XD And I had a really hard time standing Henry, he was so annoying. Glad Gregory is gone!

Justin was okay, he was a little shit, but a little shit that I enjoyed watching. Still surprised he died so quickly though.

I still don't care about Gabriel. And the others that I didn't mention in my comment.

And Jerry! Daryl has also been good this season. And Aaron, but we needed more Aaron.
