Every sitcom needs a fictional couple for fans to root for, so are St. Denis Medical ‘s Matt and Serena our next Jim and Pam? During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly before St. Denis Medical ‘s premiere on Tuesday, November 12, Mekki Leeper and Kahyun Kim (who play Matt and Serena) wholeheartedly supported the idea.
“They sure are,” Kim, 35, said before Lepper, 30, added, “Certainly in the sense that in the early seasons — which we are currently in — we’re wondering will they or won’t they?” Lepper encouraged viewers to keep an eye on Matt and Serena as season 1 played out. “It is on our minds each and every day,” he noted. “And there’s just no way to tell [yet] if they will or if they won’t.
” Creator Eric Ledgin wouldn’t rule out a potential romance between Matt and Serena, telling Us , “There’s definitely at least a one-sided will-they-or-won’t-they happening. So I can tell you it’ll definitely be a slow burn of something that we will track over time.” After working on shows such as Superstore — which had their very own fan-favorite fictional couples — Ledgin didn’t want to follow the same steps with the characters on St.
Denis Medical . “Having worked on Superstore and feeling like I was part of that narrative, for me it was about not wanting to do that again with the central characters,” he admitted. “So it felt a little more fun to have this more sort of pie in the sky opportunity for someone to see if they can.
