Do "Will They, Won't They" Romances Sell TV Shows?

The Legendary Ladies Podcast

May 22 2023 • 1 hr 3 mins

NOW, KISS. It’s the hallmark of shows like Law and Order, Castle, Bones, and more - the “will they, won’t they” romances. But the question is - are fans *actually* enjoying that romantic tension? With just Amy and Kat on this week’s episode, the hosts are split. In addition to debating why the “will they, won’t they” does or does not work for each host, the Legendary Ladies try to dive into the logistics of the trope: does this sort of romance sell more television? Does streaming lack the same tension without a promo for next week’s episode teasing a major character breakthrough? And does tiktok and social media drive tension beyond characters beyond what the networks had planned? Join us - and share your own thoughts!
