I just found out and it is no secret that Mr. James David Rodriquez, AKA: James Roday/Shawn Spencer, and co-star Maggie Lawson/Jules are seeing each other off the set.
Good deal now let's get them together where it counts. In front of the camera, and hope tyhe writers done get all screwed up mess up a good thing by giving them all kinds of problems to deal with. For once let's have a happy relationship.
Oh, no. I don't want to see them together on-set! The best thing for any TV show is unresolved sexual tension - seeing two characters who are SO meant for each other NOT get together, but come SO close. That's what keeps the fans hooked. You can see in SO many TV shows that as soon as the male lead and female lead get together, interest in the show/pairing declines. It's just not a good idea.
I can see that other than the theme song this thread has some what of a following. What I hope is that the real life relationship between these young people holds. I'd hate to see it fall apart and effect the program. Besides they have good on screen chemistry.
I think we can count on the writers to tease us to death with the chemistry we saw between Juliet's and Shawn from the first episode Jules was in, in the Cafe way back when. As a hopeless romantic I want them to be together and be happy ever after but that ain't going to happen. Shawn has had girl friends or chances at girl friends but all for not. There was the girl from high school at the reunion in episode 302, the one that was the asst. curator of the museum in Shawn and gus of the dead, and don't forget the waitress in the pilot. All of them going no where. We need either Gus or Shawn to have a girl friend or move to San Franfreako and marry each other. We all know that in California it's like a bowl of granola what ain't fruits and nuts is flakes. And don't see that coming on. Please don't do that to us writers. I couldn't take it.
Nothing new to report, but if anyone hears anything don't keep it to your self. This topic seems gets the most hits and we all want to know the skinny on this one.
I'm adding a new post to keep up the interest. To date over 1,400 have looked into this thread since I first posted it back in June. I wish there was as much action in the rest of the Forum.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
I trust the writers with this. I think when they feel the time is right to start a relationship with the two, they'll come up with a really cute way of doing it. And the writers will keep the show from being boring or cliche. I totally trust them.
If the writers do come up with a way to put them together it means Shawn will have to learn to be a better bowler. In the episode "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not", Jules calls off a date with someone else, saying it was because the guy couldn't bowl. "It's a date breaker", she said. (As if the writers would pay any attention to continuity). lol.
Here we find ourselves watching "Six Feet Under The Sea", and seeing Shawn confused about who April (truely a cutie) is stepping aside for. Hmm. Has Shawn lost it? Has he become dense suddenly? Or will Jules have to make the first move now. And what about the bowling issue?
Tune in next time when we might hear Gus say: "Hey when do I get the babe? The only cute black girl on the show was my sister. What's up with that?"
As I watched this episode I almost thought for a second the writers were going to have April make a pass at Jules. ( We dodged a bullet there).
Shawn hasn't become dense...it's that Jules has refused him time and again, and she would be the last person he would ever consider thinking of him in that way.
krazykray I concur. I think that the writers have done an excellent job with keeping up the momentum of their chemistry thus far, and whether or not they get together the show will still be hilarious.
I don't think it's fair to say Jules has refused him and not make note that Shawn hasn't made a serious move yet. He did sort of kiss her once at the police station. Other than that he says things like in the episode Gus was at camp and Jules ask what Shawn had in mind to easy his loneliness and Shawn suggested Baby oil. If he wanted her he'd stop smarting off for 10 seconds.
And if they were to get together it would end the show. It always has on past shows because the writers can't keep the tension going in other ways once the sex has happened.
Okay I could be wrong. The writers are working me over pretty good on this. In "Lassie did a bad bad thing". Det. Drimmer while trying to find out if Shawn has picked up anything on him for the shooting, tells Shawn how Jules is talking favorably about him all the time.
I have a question about marriage. How long should and do people date these days before the get married? James & Maggie have been together for what about two and a half years?
Isn't that time enough to decide if your compatible? Or do you think one of them is afraid of commitment or could it be they both fear the entertainment couples curse? So many break up. Mostly because of cheating by one or both.
Now I would like to see them do the right thing get married have children and live happily ever after. You have to consider age at some point if you're going to have a family don't you?. After all she's what, about 28 and he's around 32 give or take. I don't know about these things today is why I'm asking. Used to be you were married by your mid twenties right after college for most. Just curious that's all. That and I hate to see anyone break up after so long.
Love is in the Air, there is music all around. An Evening with Mr.Yang and Jules makes a move and we have to wait for bleeping ever to see which way Shawn ends up going. For Jules or for the 16 year old looking Abigail. I hate to have to wait that long. But what the heck.
DAMNIT! Do you guys know how freaking pissed I am Jules decides to make a move when Shawn is on a freaking date? UGH! This is so enraging! Almost every single "season finale" we've seen a ridiculous hint of "sexual tension" between these two, minus the numerous amounts of hints given throughout the show. I knew something was going to happen based on all of Jules sudden interest in Shawn's butt during football, and a lot of other little tidbits at the end of this season. I just had a feeling they were going to leave us on the edge, and of course they did, but not even doing anything, leaving us in question. Shawn with Abigail, or Jules?
I hate cliffhangers, especially when they come to couples that you've been shipping since day 1 :'(
Housewhore4 Interesting handle you've chosen.
Some place in the Forum I came up with an idea for them to get together and not tell anyone even Gus. It would keep up the tension and add story lines as well.
Everyone wants to see the LOVE interests get toether here and on Chuck. Check out my idea there if you have the time.
I'm sure he'll end up someday with Jules, and the way the writers get lost we may never hear from Abigail again. Unless/ Oh may God another flash for the new episode just struck me.
That would be interesting, Councilman. See, I don't know why everyone feels that if Jules and Shawn get together, the series is over. It's not like the show hinges on Shawn being single, or for that matter, detective and psychic being "just friends" or not in a relationship. The only concept the show's fate rests on is that no one, except Gus and Henry, can know that Shawn is a fake psychic. Everything else, I say, is a free-for-all.
Personally, I feel keeping them apart is way too much of a cliche for it to wreck the show. I don't think we can even list how many series have attempted the long, drawn out "Just jump in bed, damnit!" approach to prospective couples. The more of the tease, the more, I feel, the higher expectations there are for the writers.
They should just be original, is all I'm saying. Put them together, see what happens. Have things go bad, maybe be an on again, off again, couple. Whatever they want, just do something, teasing is such a low blow :P
Housewhore4 I can't wait to meet numbers 1, 2,& 3, lol. You have good thoughts.
I think my idea of keeping it secret would work for the writers in a positive way. However in real life when people in a relationship have secrets from each other it can be the source of problems. Shawn can reveal to Jules that he's hyper observant not psychic. Her character has in part fallen for him because his gift is part of the whole package. Remember what Detective Drimmer told Shawn she said in "Lassie did a Bad Bad thing" about all his qualitys? She'd be crushed, disillusioned and heart broken to find out the truth. Not to mention her police mentality might kick in. Not a good thing if they were ever to have problems.
So I say yes let them be together but Shawn needs to keep the double secret alive. Keep gus out of his love life and Jules out of his true tallents.
By the way Shawns Mom Madeleine knows he's just an excellent detective too.
At 1931, I'm not surprised this topic is far and away the most viewed here. Everyone likes a good love story even if some tuff guys on the outside say different. I like ones with happy endings, but then I'm known as a hopeless romantic.
lol! Well, we Housewhore's do tend to run in packs :P haha
I've been debating the idea in my head, if Shawn and Jules were to get together, would he ever tell her the truth? I think it could go numerous ways. He could not tell her, then it gnaw at him that he's lying to her, and then eventually confess to her, and she could either take it as "your secret is safe with me", or, it could be a breaking point in their relationship, and she could act on it as a police officer and arrest him for treason or whatever charge would be brought upon Shawn for lying.
But, I think not telling her in general may actually work fine. Shawn has been able to develop this whole persona and job title really well, never expecting anyone to even question that he's a psychic, or flinching when he tells people he is a psychic for the SBPD. He's convinced himself that he's a psychic, not a literal "I can see the future", but as an acceptable facade, the job title is his. It's gotten to a point where it doesn't even seem like a lie, at least from the viewers POV. So maybe it wouldn't be difficult keeping it from Jules. Then again, he's never had to face love, relationship, etc. when it comes to this. So, hard to say.
Then, the question comes up, would it come down to Shawn having to confess who he is that would end the show? Or would Vick just turn him into a real detective, which he basically is now minus the gun? That's a whole other discussion. But it is crazy how much leeway the writers have for this story line. It can go so many ways with Shawn and Jules.
Here's my biggest concern for next season: Shawn ending up going out with Abigail for the entire summer stretch, then they break it off at the end, and either Shawn tries to catch Juliet on the rebound, or, she starts dating someone for real, and then they drag that into the Winter second half, and finally, they put them together at the finale this time next year. I've seen it before, it's painful like nails up against a chalkboard. So far, with all the little teases, nothing is telling me that it won't be this way. Just get it over with, my God!
Oh, this thought just came to me (sorry, I'm going on for far too long, bare with me). If Shawn does date Abigail for some time, maybe that will be the test for how long he can keep a secret. I mean, what if she on dates is like "read my mind, Shawn", or notices little details that don't connect to him being a psychic. He doesn't have someone in his intimate personal life he doesn't know he's lying, so this could be an interesting taste tester. But, I'd rather it be with Jules, no doubt.
Wow very thoughtful indeed. I hope you get to read some of my other posts for this and other topics. I've covered a lot of things.
About the Chief making Shawn a police officer I used that in one of my ideas some place. I forget where but I had forgot Shawn can't be a Policeman because he has a felony for GTA on his record from when he was 18. So that's out but it might be removed by a judge with the Chief's help maybe.
As to Abigail I hate to see Shawn dating her knowing he's going to end up with Jules. Abigail has has a thing for Shawn since high school seeing anyone have their dreams dashed bums me out. So it becomes a delima with few good out comes. It eve just caused me to flash back to a song from the late 60s or early 70s. "Torn Between Two Lovers". We know Shawn has had a thing for Jules from their fisrt meeting more od less and on Abigail so much in the passed he was afraid of her.
Either way it goes Shawn can never tell Jules he's a fake. After all she saw him convince the judge in "Cloudy Chance of Murder" that he was for real.
I used to just enjoy your screen name #4 but I also like the way you put thought in to this stuff.
Thanks CM, I will definitely start rummaging through everything. Haven't been on Fanpop that long, just started in December, and only just started paroozing the Psych spot, but I've been watching the show since the very beginning and it's nice to actually discuss ideas about the show with others.
Ah, I totally forgot about the GTA, but I'm sure something could be done if it really came down to the Vick having to come up with a way to keep Shawn on her staff. Because, besides Jules, Chief Vick has been the one person who has, for the most part, given Shawn and his psychic "capabilities" a lot of credit and leverage. If one day the truth did unravel, after a brief period of anger, I couldn't see how they could not invite Shawn and Gus in as members of the force for real. For 3 years now, the majority of the SBPD's success has been fueled by them. Psychic or not, the guys solve the case. It's definitely a likely scenario.
The other issue with Jules ever finding out about Shawn, is not the details of the lie, but the actual lie itself. No one likes finding out they've been deceived, especially over a long stretch of time, and especially by someone who's supposed to be the love of your life (or, at least that's what we all think, and part of the scenario). I don't know how well she'd take that, knowing for so long he'd been carrying on this ridiculous act that she gave into. Pretty big blow. So, its either best that nothing is ever said, or they want to end the show on everything getting blown up and ruined, or think of a better plan.
Thanks, I appreciate that, and you do too. Three years of watching and all these built up thoughts and ideas, they needed to come out at some point :P Glad I can share them
d(0.0)b My answer to :P. I read that another show with a situation not unlike that of our Romeo & Juliet is going to take a chance and let the duo in that theatrical production conjugate garmentless while situated in the same bed. I hope it comes out alright so the writers for our couplet will entertain this concept as viable and persue it to a logical conclusion that is copacetic to the vast majority of the assemblage who gather hither. I'm not going to tell what show that is.
In other words. Maybe if it works out there, Shawn and Jules can hook up in an acceptabe manner and we can all reat easy because it's what we would all like to seely, let's make no bones about it.
hahahaha, very smooth, very subtle :P I heard the same, though I don't really watch that show. I almost started to, then I found out about their "Will they, won't they" sexual tension and I realized I probably wouldn't be able to handle another show that has that going on, so I stopped :P lol! I have too many!
