We follow the adventures of a reconstituted family, a bit like Feeling, but in Ontario. Casey, a studious, serious and independent girl must now share her life with Derek, her new half-brother by marriage who is a real slackeras we say in good French.
All of this obviously gives rise to bickering, jealousy and unhealthy competition. But, by the end of each 22-minute episode, the pair made peace and learned an important lesson from the tape.
So far so good.
Thirteen years later, some Internet users have revisited the series and seem to find that the relationship between the two main characters is a little stranger than they remember.
On July 11, grace.mitscherlich posted a TikTok in which she claims there seems to be a lot of sexual tension between the blended family members.
To prove it, she publishes a series of excerpts from the series in which we can indeed see several ambiguous moments between Derek and Casey.
After watching this series of videos, several Internet users said that they too had always found that there was something fishy between the two members of the blended family.
In a 2016 interview, Michael Seater, the comedian who played Derek, said there was nothing wrong with his character having an interest in Casey. He had even said that it would have been the natural evolution of the duo.
Around the same time, Ashley Leggat, who played Casey, said she understood why people believed there were sparks between the two characters.
