Conversely, Eddie’s supporters believed that the feelings between Joe and Eddie never truly ended, and that the pregnancy could be a second chance for them.

To quell – or rather, fuel – the wave of speculation, representatives from the production team confirmed that this will be the central storyline of the second half of the season. “We want to delve into Joe’s psychology and the consequences of her choices. This isn’t just a love story, but a journey of confronting truth, responsibility, and unhealed emotions,” they shared.
