According to IndieWire, one of the first questions aimed at actors Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri was about whether their characters’ relationship had romantic undertones.

They replied simply: “No.”Another relationship which was addressed during the panel was that between Carmy and his colleague, family friend and “cousin”, Richie, played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach.“They’re great now,” Moss-Bachrach said, sharing that their relationship will develop in season three.

White added: “Carmy is continuing to do what he does best, which is be incredibly avoidant of all the issues.”Also at the panel was the show’s executive producer and co-writer Matty Matheson, who also plays the loveable mechanic and childhood friend of Carmy and Richie, Neil Fak.Matheson said about the storytelling in season three: “There’s little pieces that you grab on to in life and that’s what makes you who you are, the good and the bad.“It is a trade, and so I think picking up these little skills along the way, you never stop learning who you are made of, the people around you.
