As for the relationships featured on the show, showrunner Peter Mitchell teased in last season that fans will get to see a lot more of William and Julia's sizzling chemistry.
"We did give the fans some of that last season, but they wanted more," actress Hélène Joy, who plays Julia, told TV, eh? "What they did get, they loved. We're allowed to play and flirt and be completely open and there is way more of that this year because we know how much the fans love it."
Now that the couple is married, the next logical step for them is to start a family. But Joy feels William and Julia would make terrible parents. "I think it would be hilarious because I think they'd be terrible parents. They're a couple of nerds who don't really have any idea what they're doing. Neither of them would stop working, so how would they balance that?"
