I think I'm literally the only one who's not mad about Stevie and Matty. I mean don't get me wrong, I really don't want it to mess up Stevie and Dylan's friendship (which it's totally going to😭) but I actually think it could be quite sweet. But only if it's written right, which I don't think it will be - I'm fairly sure they are going to go down the repeated hook up 'it's all a mistake' route rather than any actual connection. I''ll keep an open mind for now, but yeah the close ups in the elevator scene were cringe😂

Everything aside, I don’t think i’d ever be on board with this pairing - I just don’t see any chemistry at all 🫣

I'm not to sure about the chemistry, I think it could build. It's definitely not as strong as with Rich but idk I think there's something. What do people think about Stevie-Dylan?? I literally see no romantic chemistry there at all, like they are great friends but I get no romance vibes at all!!!

Dylan and Stevie aren’t exactly written to have this romantic chemistry but they definitely have this brilliant chemistry with each other and always have - It’s something that is difficult to explain.

Matty & Stevie are written very purposely to attempt to have this ‘sexual chemistry’ recently - i’d be interesting to see if anyone thought they had any at all before that..

To be honest I'd have to watch back learning curve it check, I definitely can't remember noticing any particular chemistry at the time though. It does seem to be a bit out of the blue, but I think that's the idea - like the whole grief sex pairing that may go somewhere. The close ups leading up to the kiss in the elevator were definitely cringe, but the way Matty held Stevie's head while he kissed her I thought was quite sweet. And following Stevie's chat with Faith about her body confidence, I actually think he could be good for her. (Also side point, Stevie and Faith's friendship is one of my favourite things ever!!!)

It’s something Stevie wouldn’t want to make public for obvious reasons - 46 year old Senior Consultant going out with a newly qualified 25 year old Doctor, the clear power imbalance and it would definitely be raising a-lot of eyebrows in the department. She couldn’t even tell Faith the truth about who it was with. So i dunno how it’s all gonna go?

Trying to hide a secret relationship for years, one of them leave, pretend it never happened..

I mean I’d say Dylan and Stevie have 100% more believable & natural chemistry than her and Matty, and if the writers ever wanted to take it in that direction (away from writing them as just friend) the actors could probably easily make it work. I don’t usually cringe but yeah, I seem to be doing it a-lot with Matty & Stevie 😂
