From the outset, the Wednesday series has been a runaway success, principally because of Jenna Ortega’s captivating portrayal of the somber yet enthralling Wednesday Addams. One of the standout features that have delighted viewers is the captivating friendship between Wednesday and Enid Sinclair, the vivacious character brought to life by Emma Myers.

The dynamic between the two, contrasting Enid’s sunny disposition with Wednesday’s cool and measured approach, quickly endeared itself to audiences, becoming a cornerstone of the show’s charm. Moments of warmth between them, whether through protective gestures or heartfelt hugs, spurred fans to hope their bond might blossom into romance.

The fan nickname ‘Wenclair’ emerged, capturing the ideal pairing concept and spreading rapidly on social media.

Even with the undeniable chemistry shared by Wednesday and Enid, the first season favored heteronormative narratives, introducing love interests like Tyler Galpin and Xavier Thorpe for Wednesday. The teaser for the new season hints that romantic themes will persist, but it seems the focus remains on her interactions with male characters, leaving Wenclair aficionados dismayed.

Fans have taken to social media to voice their frustration over the missed opportunity to explore a meaningful LGBTQ+ storyline that feels organic and engaging. The anticipation that the series would embrace this storyline is met with disappointment as the focus leans, yet again, towards male-female couplings, dampening the spirits of many.

Comments have been pouring in, with exclamations like, “Why overlook the obvious ideal couple? Wenclair deserves its moment in the spotlight!” Another agrees, lamenting, “The chemistry between Wednesday and Enid is palpable, yet we’re treated to another bland, conventional romance? It’s disheartening.”

Fans have even pointed out that both Jenna and Emma have expressed their support for the Wenclair pairing, questioning why Netflix seems resistant to the idea. Emma Myers humorously alluded to their dynamic in an interview, echoing the famous phrase, “I always say, and they were roommates.” Delving deeper, she supported the notion that opposites attract, suggesting fertile ground for a romantic evolution between their characters.

Jenna Ortega, too, has alluded to wanting Wednesday to pause on romantic entanglements, which fans interpret as a window for deepening her bond with Enid, potentially shaping it into a more profound connection.

The appeal for more modern and inclusive storytelling resonates with today’s audiences, and many are eager for Netflix to heed their voices. It’s clear that the narrative possibilities within the Gothic and intriguing world of Wednesday include dynamic romances that reflect the diversity and depth of human connections we see today.

Fans are on the edge of their seats, hopeful that future developments will align more closely with their heartfelt wishes for genuine representation in the series.
