Do you hear me?

Frank replies Im already dead, and kills Schoonover anyway.

Although this scene suggested the pairs friendship would end, they ultimately reunited in Bernthals spin-off seriesThe Punisher.

After seeing Bernthal and Wolls shared scenes inDaredevil, however, he requested the character be written in.

The series premieres tomorrow.

The Punishercontinued to develop the most surprising aspect of Frank and Karens relationship, which is its quasi-romantic element.

This relationship isnt the only major difference between the originalDaredevilTV series and the comics.

Although it changes the plot,the relationship is born out of the creators thorough understanding of the characters.

As close as Karen is to Frank, Matt is an even more important figure in her life.
