During a press junket, Jenna Ortega told PRIDE that “In a perfect world, [Wednesday and Enid] would have been a thing.” She also told MTV News that she doesn’t see her character moving forward romantically with Xavier, saying “Now that Tyler’s off the table, I feel like she’s off of boys for a while. I feel like her and Xavier are just getting to a safe place. I think there’s an opportunity there for a really sweet platonic relationship.” Wednesday’s queerness and potential bisexuality have already been alluded to in this first season. Whenever Xavier runs into her at the carnival, Wednesday tells him that she is waiting for someone, to which Xavier replies “Oh yeah? Who’s the lucky guy…or girl?” While Wednesday’s subsequent deflection of his question could just be her hesitancy to let people in, many queer fans take her non-answer as a potential opening for Wednesday’s queerness to be addressed if the show were to be renewed. Emma Myers is also into Enid and Wednesday being more than just friends and roommates, telling Elite Daily that she and Ortega would reference the “and they were roommates” meme frequently while on set. This meme is often used in fandoms to refer to characters that started out as roommates and then either canonically or within fan-fiction become romantic partners. Without diving too deep into the academic side of queer theory, queerness as a term can be used under that umbrella to refer to anything outside of what society deems “normal.” In most cases “normal” refers to cisgender, Christian, heterosexual, white men, and anything outside of that is considered the “other.” Based on this definition, Wednesday already operates in a queer state of being, so it would honestly make way more sense for her to not be straight. Whether we get to actually see a romance bloom between Enid and Wednesday is yet to be determined – season 2 of Wednesday hasn’t even officially been confirmed – but hopefully the series will give them a chance given Ortega and Myers’ support. People love that Wednesday is her own person, who refuses to conform to what society expects of her. Why should her romantic relationships be any different?
