After a year of viral livestreams, emotional interviews, and cryptic behind-the-scenes hints, fans are convinced the truth is finally out. The Gemma fandom is exploding — and this might be the closest we’ve ever gotten to confirmation!

The Unbreakable Bond: How Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega’s Friendship Has Fans Begging for “Wenclair” Confirmation

In the shadowy halls of Nevermore Academy, where werewolves howl and psychics unravel dark secrets, one relationship has always stolen the spotlight: the prickly yet profound connection between Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair. Portrayed by Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers in Netflix’s Wednesday, their on-screen dynamic—equal parts tension and tenderness—has captivated millions since the show’s explosive debut in 2022. But as Season 2 unfolds with its gothic twists and emotional gut-punches, it’s the actresses’ real-life bond that’s sending the “Gemma” (or “Wenclair,” depending on your shipping allegiance) fandom into overdrive. Recent interviews, viral clips, and behind-the-scenes glimpses suggest something deeper: a friendship so intimate and affirming that fans are convinced it’s the closest we’ve come to outright confirmation of the romance they’ve long dreamed of. From awkward Zoom auditions to tearful reunions on set, Emma and Jenna’s story is a heartwarming tale of growth, vulnerability, and the kind of sisterhood that blurs the lines between fiction and reality.

The Wednesday phenomenon began as Tim Burton’s fresh take on the iconic Addams Family character, but it quickly morphed into a cultural juggernaut. Season 1 racked up 252.1 million views, making it Netflix’s most-watched English-language series ever. At its core was the unlikely duo of Wednesday, the deadpan psychic played by Ortega with razor-sharp wit, and Enid, the colorful werewolf brought to vibrant life by Myers. Their roommate-from-hell setup evolved into a slow-burn friendship that resonated deeply with queer audiences, spawning fan art, TikToks, and endless “what if” theories about a potential romance. “Wenclair” trended worldwide, with fans dissecting every lingering glance and protective gesture. Yet, as showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar confirmed in a recent interview, a gay love story between the leads isn’t in the cards. “It’s about their bond as best friends,” Millar clarified, emphasizing the platonic push-pull that defines their arc. But off-screen? That’s where the real magic—and the speculation—happens.

Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega’s paths first crossed in the most unglamorous way possible: a Zoom chemistry read during the height of the pandemic. Myers, then a relative newcomer fresh off roles in Girl in the Basement and Kidding, auditioned for Wednesday herself but found it “embarrassing.” “I would consider myself more a Wednesday because I am very introverted,” she later admitted to Elite Daily, revealing her own reserved nature clashed with the character’s intensity. When she pivoted to Enid, the bubbly foil to Wednesday’s gloom, the virtual meeting with Ortega turned chaotic. Myers accidentally interrupted Ortega’s lines, mistaking a dramatic pause for her cue. “I started crying,” Myers confessed in a Netflix Tudum interview, her voice cracking at the memory. Ortega, ever the professional at just 19, reassured her: “It was just a pause.” What could have been a disaster became the spark of something genuine. Their first in-person hug on set? Equally awkward—stiff, tentative, like two puzzle pieces not yet aligned. But as filming dragged on in Romania’s chilly studios for eight months, isolation forged an unbreakable link.

Jenna Ortega, already a rising star from Jane the Virgin and You, took Myers under her wing from day one. As an executive producer on Wednesday, Ortega advocated fiercely for her castmates, especially the newcomers like Myers, Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), and Percy Hynes White (Xavier Thorpe). “We only had each other,” Myers recalled in an E! News chat, describing how the ensemble formed a tight-knit “pack” amid grueling shoots and cultural dislocation. Group chats ballooned into the teens, filled with memes, vent sessions, and late-night pep talks. For Myers, who was stepping into her biggest role yet, Ortega became a confidante and cheerleader. “You can confide in Jenna,” Myers gushed to Seventeen magazine in August 2025. “I instantly felt really close to her because she’s so cool, so open, and such a lovely person.” Ortega reciprocated in the same interview, calling Myers “incredibly generous, patient, and charming.” She added, “I feel really lucky to have gotten to know her and love her throughout the years and to be able to spend so much time with her.” That word—”love”—didn’t go unnoticed. Fans screenshotted it, memed it, and dissected it like a Wednesday autopsy.

The gestures piled up, each one fueling the fire. During those long Romanian nights, Ortega started a ritual: waking Myers with voice memos of herself singing different songs every morning. “It was her way of saying good morning,” Myers shared in a 2023 Variety feature, her eyes lighting up. Picture it: the sun rising over Bucharest as Ortega’s off-key renditions of pop hits or show tunes pierced the silence, pulling Myers from sleep into fits of laughter. “Jenna is very overprotective of me,” Myers revealed in a March 2023 X post that went viral, amassing over 4,700 likes. It was a protectiveness born of shared vulnerability—both young women navigating fame’s glare, with Ortega shielding Myers from paparazzi swarms and Myers offering quiet support during Ortega’s high-profile disputes over script changes.

Behind-the-scenes moments only amplified the intimacy. A leaked clip from Season 1 rehearsals shows them practicing Enid’s werewolf transformation, Ortega coaching Myers through the physicality with gentle touches and whispered encouragement. “Breathe through it,” Ortega says, her hand steady on Myers’ shoulder. Fast-forward to Season 2, filmed amid strikes and delays, and their rapport had deepened into something effortless. In New Zealand, while shooting separate projects—Myers in A Minecraft Movie, Ortega in Klara and the Sun—they squeezed in one sacred beach day. “We talked for hours,” Myers told Cosmopolitan in August 2025, describing how they bonded over feeling like “imposters” in Hollywood. “Emma is nothing like Enid,” Ortega interjected in the same piece. “She’s introspective, thoughtful. But that’s what makes her magic—she brings so much heart.”

Season 2’s production tested that heart like never before. Split into two parts (Part 1 dropping August 6, 2025, and Part 2 on September 3), the season introduces “tension” between Wednesday and Enid, teased in trailers as a rift sparked by one of Wednesday’s visions. Myers described it to Deadline as a “push and pull” that leaves Enid confused and hurt: “There’s this little tension… it’s very confusing for her.” Off-screen, though, the distance only strengthened their tie. “I felt like I hadn’t seen Jenna in weeks,” Myers lamented during a Tudum Q&A, prompting Ortega to pull her into a side-hug on camera. Their standout sequence? A body-swap episode in Part 2, where Myers nails Wednesday’s monotone deadpan—”I absolutely crushed the cadence of her voice,” fans raved on Reddit—and Ortega unleashes Enid’s bubbly energy with uncharacteristic glee. “It was terrifying… uncomfortable doing it in front of each other,” Myers admitted, but they hyped one another through it: “Tell me if I’m doing a bad job—I’ll tell you too.” The result? A meta masterpiece that had viewers rewinding, praising their “stellar polar opposites” chemistry.

The fandom’s frenzy peaked during the 2025 Doom Tour, a global promo blitz for Season 2. In Seoul, Ortega and Myers arrived hand-in-hand (figuratively, at least), posing for selfies that broke X. “Jenna and Emma in Seoul for #WednesdaySeason2!” trended, with clips of them giggling over K-pop snacks amassing millions of views. Sydney’s Q&A brought more: a fan-submitted drawing session where they sketched each other mid-interview, Ortega’s portrait of Myers capturing her “patient smile” with eerie accuracy. “This is my favorite scene—we brought it up so many times,” Myers said of a hypothetical Enid-Wednesday duet, while co-star Hunter Doohan teased, “It’s all we’ve been talking about.” Ortega, blushing, confessed insecurity about a dance sequence, only for Myers to chime in: “Fantastic.” Fans melted, with one X post declaring, “Jenna confirmed whipped for Emma Elizabeth Myers.”

Interviews from this whirlwind period feel like love letters. In Elle Australia, Ortega devoted an entire segment to Myers: “She makes this show significantly better—Enid is my favorite character.” Myers, in turn, told MTV, “Seeing the bond between these two makes my love for Wednesday & Enid grow.” A Korean press clip, wobbly-translated but heartfelt, had Ortega gushing: “She devoted all her remaining time talking about Myers.” It’s this effusive praise—coupled with quiet acts like Ortega’s morning songs or Myers’ unwavering defense of Jenna’s creative choices—that has Gemma shippers in a tizzy. “Enough said—Jenna just gets it,” one viral X thread proclaimed, racking up 1,200 likes. Even as creators shut down romantic canon, these moments whisper what fans crave: validation of the queerness in their connection, platonic or otherwise.

Yet, amid the hype, there’s a poignant undercurrent. Both women have spoken candidly about the pressures of stardom. Ortega, now 23, has navigated typecasting and scrutiny, while Myers, 23 as well, grapples with sudden fame post-Wednesday. Their bond offers solace—a reminder that in Hollywood’s chaos, true friendship endures. “Our friendship was a natural progression,” Myers reflected in Seventeen. As Season 2’s cliffhanger leaves Enid facing a full-moon sacrifice—transforming permanently as a potential Alpha werewolf, per Myers’ Deadline reveal—their real-life parallel shines brighter. “Hopefully, they recover the bond that had queer fans falling so hard,” Them magazine opined, echoing the sentiment that Wenclair’s heart lies in its humanity.

As Wednesday Season 3 looms—hinted at by Ortega’s coy Entertainment Tonight tease: “We’ll watch this space”—one thing’s certain: Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega’s friendship isn’t just a subplot; it’s the soul of the series. From viral livestreams where they stare-down fans (“First to blink is a rotten corpse,” the caption read, Ortega unblinking for an eternity) to cryptic X posts like Myers’ “You are my pack” tribute, they’ve built a legacy of joy and authenticity. Fans may never get the on-screen kiss, but in a world starved for real connection, their off-screen love story is confirmation enough. It’s not a reveal—it’s a revelation: that the best plots twist from the heart.
