Should Bones and Booth get together? Emily Deschanel thinks so
Romantic relationships between television characters are a complicated business. Especially when the characters aren't romantically involved, yet exude enough sexual energy between each other to light up a small city. This is why so many debates rage on about if so-and-so should get together with so-and-so on a particular show.
One of these shows is Bones. Since its premiere on FOX back in 2005 the biggest debate has been whether or not Special FBI Agent Seeley Booth and forensic anthropologist Temperance 'Bones' Brennan should get together. Well, if Emily Deschanel, who portrays Bones on the show, had her way the two characters certainly would.
In a phone interview with some of us television reporter types, Emily agreed that Bones and Booth should get together at some point. Yet, according to Deschanel, doing something like this could be very dangerous to the show. "I think that the writers and producers are very much aware of that and the dangers of putting characters together and what that can mean for the show", said Emily during the phone conference. She stated that having the two characters get together could kill the chemistry that makes the show what it is.
While the romance won't be heating up between Bones and Booth at just this moment, there will be a change in their relationship as the third season progresses. That, according to Deschanel, is thanks to the arrest of Bones' father. "It certainly makes them address issues and it makes them say things head on, which I think is always a good thing", stated Emily, who went on to say that it is an interesting dynamic and good for the pair's relationship.
More than just the relationship between Booth an Bones was discussed during this interview. For instance, the topic of scheduling was brought up. Deschanel said that the pairing of Bones with House (at least until show-pusher American Idol premieres in January) was fantastic because these two shows were made to be with each other. She added that Bones and Gregory House are both prickly on the outside, but in very different ways. To the subject of whether the dark subject matter of the series disturbs her, Deschanel said that while she hasn't been desensitized to all the gore she has gotten used to it.
Also talked about was Emily's feelings when her father directed an episode of Bones. "The first day working with my father was nerve wracking", said Deschanel, "I was terrified that I would embarrass him or he would embarrass me and it was probably one of the more tortuous days of my life. After the first day was under our belt, it was a great opportunity and I'll always look back on that experience fondly."
