Unless you end up with a great guy who has heard about the show and then maybe you wanna do just one last show so he can see what all the fuss is about…

‘ It’s just not as much fun when you get stuck on someone and start thinking about them all the time. Even though you know nothing real will ever happen.’

‘What can I say? I’d still do anything to see you smile.’

‘It got a little too flirty for me. It’s just not as much fun when you get stuck on someone and start thinking about them all the time. Even though you know nothing real will ever happen, it makes you feel kinda stupid, you know.’

Bill Lawrence on Laurie/Travis (spoilers!)

illbethereforu:

“What’s really hard about this one is a problem specific to this TV show, which is if you walk by set, they are contemporaries in real life. Busy [Phillips] is 31, and Dan [Byrd] is 26. And being around them all the time, because I believe in a very claustrophobic set, where the actors and writers really know each other, there’s nothing creepy at all. Those two are tight on set because they are the only two in each other’s age range. Everyone else is a slightly different generation. 

And yet, we have to remember as characters they are 29 and 21. Is it creepy? Is it not creepy? We can’t tell. So we’re addressing it, and we can’t decide where it falls. It’s one of the only things we fight about in the writers’ room.”

“Chemistry between actors sneaks up on you. So what we originally thought the first year would be—he has a crush on this garish, ballsy friend of Jules—had a weird subtext. Because she played it as a girl who was really flattered to have someone as smart and bright and together as him interested in her. She didn’t play it as a cool high-school chick who has a sixth-grader that likes her. She played it as having this real undercurrent.

So we never expected to be at this point. So when we broke that episode last year, it was about, on a bigger scale, her caring about him making a right or wrong decision. And her knowing how she could pull him out of it. Because to us, it was simple. Who fixes this? You have Jules. Jules can’t fix it. Who can? It’s easy. Laurie could flirt with him, in a harsh way, just to prove a point to him that he shouldn’t be changing his entire life over some chick. But I ask everyone to weigh in on this. Do you find it creepy or not creepy?”

“So this is what’s weird:  I like it just fine now. And then I have this nightmare where I say, “Let’s just have them kiss and make out. It’s no big deal. They are close to the same age.” And once you do that, it suddenly feels creepy and incestuous. So we haven’t figured out way through it yet. We know we’re going to have to do it eventually. But given that ABC shafted us this year, we intentionally made him 21 by the end of this season, because a) we’re writing the finale right now, and I like a world in which he’s allowed to drink, and b) we need to see if it changes how we feel about the dynamic between those two.”

“Travis and Laurie’s slightly inappropriate, but undeniably simmering chemistry will come to a boil. “There’s a big, big step in the finale this year,” teases Lawrence. Although he admits the writers haven’t figured out the relationship entirely, they’ve taken a step towards making the age difference OK. “They left us off [the air] for nine months, so we just made [Travis] 21 at the end of the year,” he reveals. Meanwhile, Laurie gets a long-distance boyfriend, who Travis finds himself “competing [against] for Laurie’s affection,” teases Byrd.” —
