While it would be exciting if they were a couple, sadly, they are not!

This actor and actress are the leads on a successful cable TV series.

There have been reports of them secretly holding hands when no one is looking and going on dates to out-of-the-way places.

They have such great chemistry as a TV couple that it seems totally feasible that they would be a couple in real life as well.

So… are they?

Someone who works on the show tells us:

While it would be exciting if they were a couple, sadly, they are not!

They are just colleagues.

Their onscreen chemistry is due to good acting, and their offscreen chemistry is due to the fact that they are good friends.

They have genuine affection for each other in a brother/sister way.

It makes for a very pleasant work environment when the actors get on so well!

They know the fans love the idea of them together, so the actors will do a bit of teasing, especially when the season starts.

No use in tamping down perfectly good chatter if it gets people watching!

Some of the fans have a lot of emotion invested in their imaginary relationship and get angry when you try to deny them their fantasy.

Therefore, when the actors do have to let them down, they are quite gentle about it.

The truth is that he has a girlfriend and she has a boyfriend (the fans probably didn’t know that).
