‘Nobody Wants This’ Stars Explain Morgan and Sasha’s Relationship: EXCLUSIVE

Spoilers ahead for Nobody Wants Season 2.

There's no doubt that Morgan (Justine Lupe) And Sasha (Timothy Simons) there is a certain spark “Nobody wants this.”

Morgan and Sasha meet after their siblings develop an unlikely romantic relationship: Morgan's sister Joanna (Kristen Bell) is an agnostic podcaster, and Sasha's brother Noah (Adam Brody) is a rabbi.

Despite their differences, they are drawn together, just like Morgan and Sasha. Their relationship becomes so tense that it worries Sasha's wife (Jackie Ton), who… confronts both of them in the second season.

However, their relationship isn't exactly romantic, but it's definitely hard to define. This season, Morgan becomes involved in a questionable relationship with his therapist Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed) and hires Sasha to check on him. Then, when Sasha has romantic difficulties, Morgan consoles him. They spend one-on-one time throughout the season.

Speaking to TODAY.com, Simons said Morgan and Sasha's relationship boils down to an indefinable “connection.”

“The way I've described it to people is that whether it's romance, whether it's friendship, whatever it is, there's clearly a connection between these people. They may not know what it is. They may not know where it leads. But they've clearly found a kinship or a shared worldview that leads to attraction,” he says.

He explains that this attraction is “not necessarily romantic” but rather due to their shared views.

“These two people play similar roles in their families, even though they had very different upbringings. You can't help but say, 'I want to talk to this person more because we have the same understanding of how to live in the world,'” he says.

Lupe thinks the characters are “incredibly drawn to each other,” she told TODAY.com.

“They're both weirdos. There's a part of them that connects with each other. There's a weird magnetic attraction, and it's not clear whether it's platonic or romantic or something in between. It's vague, and in that sense it feels honest,” she says.

Lupe says they also find “fun” and “safety” in each other, giving each other a sense of “playfulness.”

Ton, whose character Esther is dissatisfied with her husband's intimacy with a new woman, offers his answer as to whether her character is justified.

“People always ask, 'What happened to Sasha and Morgan?' You see what it is. This is weird. It's inexpressible. They connect. Is there anything Esther might be angry about? Perhaps,” she says.

She says this relationship addresses a phenomenon that can affect other people in long-term relationships.

“Being an adult in a very committed relationship and meeting a new friend of the opposite sex who is also interested and hot. It's like, on the one hand, the socially acceptable thing is to just be friends with the people you were with when you got together. But, as I say, that's absurd,” she says.

That's for sure: If these two ever met, Bina, Noah and Sasha's mom “would call and drop dead at that very moment,” Simons says.
