Speaking to THR, Reedus says of the scene: "You don't know where he shoots him but that definitely is his blood right there. Dwight knows if Daryl spins around, he's not spinning around to say something; he's spinning around to attack. Dwight knows if Daryl turns around Daryl is going to end him. But that's definitely Daryl's blood."
Despite refusing to confirm or deny if Daryl is dead, he did speak about his reaction if his character WERE to die.
He explains: "I don't think I'm ever going to be happy with that decision, ever! (laughs) Like every character on this show, there's always more story to tell. We really in the last two, maybe three years paid attention to some of the characters more than others - and some of the characters haven't had much screen time at all.
"I can't say that I would be happy. I can't say that I would not understand but you see what happens and he does get shot. It's his blood that's on the camera."
Reedus continues: "You should be very worried about Daryl. At the end of the episode, there's a comment that Dwight makes ['You'll be alright'] - and we're really good about throwing you off base. That comment might not even be to Daryl. It could be to Rosita - or to anybody there. OR it could be to something that some scuffle that happens directly afterward. Do you trust that guy?
"Anyone automatically assuming that's the obvious play is trusting words that come out of that guy's mouth and we're really good at throwing you for a loop. So... Food for thought."
The actor also spoke about the season 6 finale, saying: "That episode is the most hardcore episode you've ever seen on the show. Ever. And it's so well directed and it's so well played out. And so terrifying. It's so good. A lot of effort went into making that the best episode we've ever shot on this show... It's super shocking and it's pretty hardcore.
"Andy (Andrew Lincoln) said he was late for work because he read it all night; Josh (McDermitt) said he threw the script; Lauren (Cohan) threw up. It's gnarly. I was instantly curious. I had ideas what would happen and it made you feel sick and it was painful."
The Walking Dead season 6 concludes on Sunday on AMC, airing on Monday in the UK on FOX.
