But in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Edebiri debunked this theory once and for all, explaining that even though viewers might be interpreting a romantic vibe between Sydney and Carmen, that’s not the intention behind the scenes.
“I feel like we’ve been saying since [Season] 1, but I don’t know if people are starting to believe us now,” Edebiri told Vanity Fair. “I do think that like there’s something about seeing people where they’re really passionate or where they’re excelling at something, it can feel exciting and charged. It’s a hard thing to talk about because we never get it right. I don’t know, my job is to do the thing, and then how you interpret it is how you interpret it.”
The FX/Hulu series, created by Christopher Storer, started streaming in June 2022.
While all of these professional-related events are unfolding, depicting the dynamics of the restaurant’s inner workings, The Bear also shows fans the elements of the personal relationships and friendships of our favorite characters.
Syd and Carmy’s friendship plays an integral role in The Bear but in the immortal words of Taylor Swift and now Edebiri, it’s clear these two are never, ever, ever getting…together.
“But I do think it’s professional, and I do think if anything were to happen, it would not be the show that we’re making. And I also think it would be so crazy. That man is crazy and that girl is a bad communicator! The restaurant would blow up in like three seconds if anything ever happened,” she concluded.
