Default Lurve?

Hey all,

I've been watching a lot of the earlier episodes recently as I got them on old videos and I started thinking that although the attraction between David and Maddie was obvious from day one, if you watch the episodes in order I also think that David really fell for Maddie very early on, almost from the pilot.

If you watch The Next Murder You Hear (series 1), David is jealous when Maddie is attracted by the dead radio host, and by the time we get to Brother, Can you Spare a Blonde (Series 2 opener) he is incredibly jealous of her feelings for Richie. This way before they even came close to kissing or anything else.

Perhaps that dance to Since I fell for you in the Pilot was the beginning of it for him. I don't think that Maddie actually fell for David until later tho even tho she found him attractive....

Any comments welcome!!

Mul

That's a good point, Mul.

Dave was such a great character to me because, although he was supposed to be crazy and fun, he always seemed to know what he wanted out of his life before Maddie did. In that way, I think he was more mature than she was.

Sometimes Mads needed a little push, but I liked the fact that it took them awhile to establish that mutual feeling of love. It built up some great storylines for the show.

I definitely think he fell for her in the pilot.
She was intrigued by him in the pilot, but didn't fall for him like he fell for her.

He was a goner when she walked into his office, BUT he totally lost it in the dance scene in the bar.

David and Maddie sitting in a tree, K - I - S - S - I - N - G
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes a baby in a baby carriage...

It was like destiny was giving him a massage...

So funny! I just watched it again this week after a long time!
And YES! I definitely agree, he was swept of his feet when she walked in the first time in his office, but you could actually SEE him falling for her in the Bar, when they danced, the way he smelled her hair......aaah!
And what about the scene in the ofiice when they spend the night there, did anyone notice the 'LOOK' on Maddie's face for the first time, and he asks "why are you looking at me like that?" an she tells him she's surprised that he didn't ask her to come over to his place!
David: "Would you have gone for it? And then the silence.......
David:" 'course ya would have!"

She didn't say no, so in my opinion she was already getting 'there', if you know what I mean!

Great minds think alike, right Taz?! That's the scene when I think she became intrigued by him - with the harmonica, but I don't think she fell for him like he fell for her - but she definitely was interested.
