Sleepy Hollow - Nicole Beharie & Tom Mison on their Relationship

[@misstramaine1981]

Honestly, I could care less if Ichabbie happens or not; I want Tom and Nicole to happen in real life! *hot chemistry*

[@Kimberly-ir9zn]

I second that !!!!!

[@Kimberly-ir9zn]

I second that !!!!!

[@misstramaine1981]

I hate to burst my own bubble but I just found out Tom Mison got married! #buzzkill

[@IAmLunaLi]

tramaine1981 where did you find that out?

[@shavette27]

Nothing has been confirmed about a marriage for Tom, though there has been speculations. So let's keep the fantasy going for a reality between the two costars!

[@shaniasampson7921]

Can I just say how ADORABLE they are in interviews! Tom and Nicole are amazing.

[@judyjoseph5185]

Agree!

[@courtneyjones9621]

I was in this audience. Showrunners - ya'll did Nicole so dirty. This show could have been great. You wasted this entire cast, tbh.

[@Cinderdiane]

I totally agree with you!

[@nikkinonames5265]

Definitely agree!!!

[@devonwilliams3886]

Yes and Orlando Jones character!. They as a group made the show. I still watched till the end. I wish CW or Nexflix would bring it back. Abby could still be alive in limbo. Orlando Jones is hiding some where. And treat her right if they do it!

[@misstinwhistle1]

If they had looked after her and treated her right and gave her time to deal with her illness, we would have Ichabbie by now.

[@christurner5473]

I miss this show a lot , After Abbie was killed off the show pretty much fell flat on its face 😟

[@xExpressUrSelfx]

"They're easy on the eyes too." lol! John isn't lying though, even Nicole agrees that Tom is a handsome man and they are right.

[@katemcmanus4182]

This hits so different in 2023, after reading Maureen Ryan's Burn It Down. Nicole Beharie, I have your back forever.

[@ParaliseBand]

the chemistry between tom and nicole part im replay it 1000000000000 times

[@CatMoca]

Make them a couple #Ichabbie

[@darlabubbles12]

FYI for those that actually watch the real show. Ichabbie will never ever have a brother/sister relationship. That's just gross. They are attracted to each other. The writers have already laid out 'a will they won't they' path for them. They wouldn't bother doing that if they felt Ichabod and Abbie would have a sibling relationship. Nah, yall need to get ya heads right on that. It's platonic for now, however, the relationship as it stands now could easily develop into something more.

[@Theebonyphil]

Here Here well said

[@misstramaine1981]

Spot on! "Slow burn to love" relationship.

[@darlabubbles12]

okay let me tell you something. if the writers are good at their jobs then this wouldn't be an issue. if the writers don't rely solely on a relationship then this wouldn't be an issue. if the writers are able to create the type of progression most relationships develop over an extended period of time naturally without impeding on the premise of the show then it wouldn't be a problem. when i posted this i saw how ichabod and abbie relationship could go there in a very natural and organic way. the show had all the ingrediants for that to happen anyways. the show had two perfect leads and chemistry off the charts. there wasn't anything to force because it was already there in abundance. cut to season 2 and what do we have. the exact opposite. we have all new writers and the show's storyline is all about the cranes failed marriage. it's hard enough that this relationship has been forced. it's bad enough that they don't even feel like a real believable couple on the show. it's bad enough that katrina has better screen chemistry with headless than she does her own husband. it's bad enough that the writers couldn't keep ichabod from acting like a dick towards abbie while at the same time trying to fix his broken marriage, without abbie looking like be black best friend (which is a very negative trope). so really the fans actually don't want the cranes together. and that's why the rating are falling. people checked out because the new writers didn't utilize the tools that they had at their disposal. they pissed away the amazing chemistry that tom and nicole display every week because people felt too uncomfortable with the idea that abbie could actually be in a relationship with ichabod someday. you say it's not about romance. that's true, it isn't but that hasn't stopped the season 2 narrative from making sleepy hollow all about the crane's marriage and not about the end of the world. it's not all about crane. it's about abbie too. and if their friendship is that important why is that being sidelined then. it's not just shippers that have had issues with this season. it's critics too. it's been rather overwhelming that people are irritated that they wasted away a good thing for the cranes marriage. so yes relationships can ruin a show (see rating for proof) it really don't have to be the case. not with the leads this show has.

[@misstramaine1981]

Darla, you are brilliant! I think the Sleepy Hollow writers should hire you as a consultant. I agree with you 100%. Season 1 was the best, season 2 has been a slight disappointment. I need to see more of a positive relationship between Ichabod and Abbie and--screw those that feel uncomfortable with the possible romance of "Ichabbie".

[@darlabubbles12]

the show is dying because it's relying solely on the cranes marriage and it's slowed the pace of the show too much. we're barely out of year one right now. which mean they're going to have to do a time jump at some point. hawely sucks, they made headless a pansy, henry's a brat and not threatening, katrina is a useless witch, reyes is no where to be seen, so is irving until it was time for him to die, and jenny's barely around. they even sideline abbie, who's suppose to be the hero of the story and all this for the cranes. see they've all but eliminated the poc on the show except for abbie. so is this the dynamic that is causing the show to die? is that what you mean because that's the reason the show sucks now. don't you read reviews. listen to podcasts. it's not just shippers getting mad about what's going on. it's critics alike. i mean if you want to just narrow in on ichabbie fine. the fate of ichabod and abbie's relationship was going to change and that's a good thing for the narrative. they needed a break. what i'm not cool with is the fact that abbie allowed things to play out without getting rightfully upset about the way she's been treated. i can tell you i wouldn't like being yelled and not applogized to. has ichabod ever said sorry. no. but irving said it when she saved him. because he was grateful for what she did. has katrina said thanks for the multiple times abbie's risked her life. no she hasn't. and if either ichabod or katrina are grateful they have a funny way of showing it. i frankly don't care anymore to have this conversation because at the end of the day ichabod and abbie were meant to be, as witness, as eventual lovers. they have the chemistry to make that happen. whether or not you agree. shows tend to pair off their leads because believe it or not it's a popular thing. just because you and a few other don't like it don't mean anything. it ultimately is what's best for the fandom. and right now the fandom don't care for how the season is playing out. and that has everything to do with how cranes have taken over. if the show dies it's because more people hated how the narrative is playing out, and from where i stand it's because they don't like the cranes.

[@shaniasampson7921]

Her expression at 1:20 tho xD I just cant with these two

[@brittley96]

Love Ichabbie and i think Nicole and Tom could be more...canon or just on the show...so cute together!

[@paleycenter]

VIDEO: #NicoleBeharie and #TomMison discuss Ichabod Crane and Lt. Abbie Mills' relationship on #SleepyHollow at PaleyFest 2014

[@JewelzKatt]

I ship Ichabbie like FedEx. There's wayyy too much chemistry between Ichabod and Abbie for me not to ship it. #NotSorry

[@tayediggss]

lol

[@xExpressUrSelfx]

That reminds me of right after what Nicole said about the fans seeing what they want to see, (they cut it out), but Tom talked about never hearing of shipping before or Ichabbie so he had to Google it. lol!

[@XJoy2UrWorldX]

Lmao@like FedEx! Good one!

[@MikeD8318]

You're a pillock

[@darlabubbles12]

slow burn is the way to go with ichabbie.

[@misstramaine1981]

I agree.

[@nickiedepena3926]

Abby and ichabod make a good couple.

[@DragonHeart613]

nickie depena Pals not couple! Ichabod's heart is only for Katrina!!!

[@ManyNationsWoman]

Linda Lin hahahaha!

[@iamlinda100]

ManyNationsWoman Yes! Katrina is dead! hahaha!

[@lpg8518]

I watched this series and loved it, but I think the relationship between Tom and Nicole was that of a deep friendship. She discovers how her and her sister fit into what is going on and he offers insight. She begins to trust him and he her, their lives are in each others hand so it would be difficult for the caring not to show. I don't necessarily think it's more than a friendship, though they are both gorgeous.

[@gabbriellebates3314]

that look at 1:20 though.... lol

[@TsukiNaito1]

I want them to get together, but I'm not sure if it's going to happen. Which would be a shame, because their chemistry is awesome. I love those pairings that start out "disgusting" and become "trusting." Of course, being a widower is still kind of new to Ichabod... I'm givin them a few seasons.

[@TsukiNaito1]

jemjean100 ... She wasn't in April... *facepalm*

[@TsukiNaito1]

jemjean100 Dude, have you seen the tension that's been forming between them? Calm your ship, it ain't solid yet. Plus, Katrina may have to return to purgatory, she technically is dead, while Ichabod just sorta... hibernated. It makes sense. I hope so, she's a very poorly done and irritating character.

[@AirforceVeteran4peace]

I wish they'd bring this show back omfg I mean I loved Sleepy Hollow

[@christurner5473]

I totally couldn’t agree more, I loved this show, sucks that the show will never be brought back, I don’t even see it on reruns on tv anywhere

[@louisewilliams9578]

Please bring back Lieutenant and Crane

[@splehawzz]

Oui Nicole est vraiment très jolie! Et je trouve qu'avec Tom il formeraient un très beau couple dans le show

[@patricewigfall8082]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Orlando's shirt?

[@ParaliseBand]

I don't want them to be a couple on tv I want them to be a married couple in REAL LIFE!!!

[@mummra4ever]

1:20 The appropriate response anyone should give to anything Alex Kurtzman says. I see the current Star Trek showrunners and producers were just as vapid and childish back then as they are now.

[@MusiqQueen6]

I'm not sure I want Ichabbie just yet, maybe season 3 or 4. But I seriously hate Ichabods wife. Please get rid of her.

[@dadahaoua5344]

Oh I thought I was the only one who hates Katrina omg !! I love you !!

[@ROCKSTARGANGSTA12]

Dada Haoua I think most people hate Katrina now #strugglewitch

[@GivingtoLoyalty]

MusiqQueen6 lol omg I believe we all just became a team together. I am not a Katrina fan

[@princessg.9450]

She Was Mean

[@MGLAMOREAUX]

Came back to this after the Hollywood Reporter article to check the vibes

[@joyholmes254]

Yeah, I don’t believe it. The person who wrote that book said that Tom was the one who came up with the bow so he wouldn’t have to touch her, but he’s touching her of his own accord during this. I call bs on that book.

[@faisamaye]

Which one's Nicole? -I can't even!! 🤣🤣

[@bushybrovvs]

Like, im not sure if its just me, but it seems like Nicole wasn't enjoying the panel very much, same goes for the others. Like from the time the series started you can tell a lot of the characters of color had issues with the show. Their tweets and everything. Even in other interviews where Nicole talks about the show, you can see she was sort of unhappy.

[@devonwilliams3886]

Agree

[@donm.2068]

Turns out your observation was spot on!

[@sandamass369]

At 1:22 Her face!

[@princessg.9450]

I Watched My Last Episode Today And I Want To See More

[@jakestroll6518]

Well. We now know that producer was lying through his teeth and that’s why they rolled their eyes. They made Nicole feel dispensable even though she was why half the audience came. Once they fired her, we all left with her.

[@JadeK297]

Seeing as how season one started with 10 million viewers and by the end of season 2 the show was down to 4 million viewers. So seems more than half already left while she was still there!!

[@gachalifecupcake7996]

I love this

I don't need them to get together; Ichabod being faithful to his wife makes more sense. What I really need is for the chemistry to continue!

[@ducky8abug]

I thought and still think Abbie and Andy have/had undeniable chemistry. I just wish they had explored it more. It was a lot richer and more palpable than anything with Ichabob or the actor Tom but I digress. Ugh...I just wanted more Andy and Abby. Just those two alone, with Abby owning a story not directly linked (in any way to Ichabod). I mean, dang man, Ichabod had an entire story-arch complete with a wife and son to boost his character development and Abby's stuck playing second fiddle to this dude. It sucks!

[@TheBraveIntrovert]

I would love to see Abbie/Andy together......If he wasn't dead.

[@Konyak0]

No to Abbie and Andy. Yes to Abbie getting more character development. To be fair of course, the nature of Ichabod's character makes it easy to take him in whatever direction the writers want, but still.

[@ducky8abug]

Konyak0 Disagree! Abbie had palpable chemistry with Andy. Their story should've been explored further, as there was a deeper connection between the two; and let's be honest, the only influence nature had in dictating Ichabod's characterization in this version of "Sleepy Hollow," is the character's (apparently) aesthetic appeal. Ichabod should've been a side-character, bouncing off clues from the past every so often, not take up 80% of the show's storyboard.

[@iamlinda100]

***** sorry but I'll have to disagree with you, I didn't think there was very much chemistry between Abbie & Andy, there was no way that relationship was ever going to happen. But the chemistry between Abbie & Ichabod is so much more, they are both witnesses just as much and are going through this journey together.

[@Zuzu__Chan]

I kinda liked abbie and Andy too and would have loved to see that story unfold a little more.

[@commess1]

Why did the kill off the character?

[@devonwilliams3886]

She became really sick and they kept forcing her to work. They were just not treating her well. She had to leave to take care of herself.

[@JennyUgo-b9o]

I liked Sleepy Hollow especially the two Witnesses

[@mst3kpimp]

lol, i kinda remember this show.

[@princessg.9450]

I LoveD Crane And Abby

[@AnahiAngel10]

Yeah i wish they are a couple and Marry :D

[@janetkane1453]

bring #sleepyhollow to Chattanooga tn

[@esmahusejnovic4239]

I was saying the same thing Nicole was saying hung up already .. lol your wasting time the other guy I don’t know I don’t know . I like how she kept it really because Tom is very handsome . Tom kills me which one is Nicole lol

[@Asi75019]

I shipped her either with Ichabod or Nick/Hawley

[@DragonHeart613]

I hope they do not screw up Ichabod & Abby's relationship in Sleepy Hollow just as they screwed up Jane & Lisbon's relationship in The Mentalist!!! Ichabod's one true love is Katrina period!!! Ichabod & Abby are off as a brother & sister-type of relationship!!! I hope that the creators of SH don't wind up bowing to pressure from those who want Ichabod & Abby to hook up just as the people behind The Mentalist ultimately caved & hooked-up Jane & Lisbon which was the worst thing to do!!!

[@BellaElsman80]

DragonHeart613 Well, I hope you enjoyed the season 2 finale. Love hurts (literally) LOL. Long overdue.

[@Cinderdiane]

THEY KILLED THE SHOW! I watched and wait for every single show., every week! When they let Abby die I was so upset! Now fast forward I see they had to kill the love interest between the two! It doesn’t fit the LIBERAL POLITICAL AGENDA ‘s narrative. In other words it would show the Country as a whole supports mixed marriages. And we do. More so than ever before! Nicole’s and Tom’s union was quite appealing to all of us! I think that was great! It showed we were completing color blind! No the powers that run the election cycle for blacks against whites couldn’t have that kind of show! SO THEY KILLED IT! I couldn’t stand Icobod’s wife either! Such a good show wasted!

[@devonwilliams3886]

Are you serious! She had to quit, because she had a medical emergency and they kept trying to force her to work against doctors orders. Liberal Agenda????? I think not, most people would say they pushed her out. You need it up!!!!😅

[@HelloGudbye93]

Ahh yes the famous "*liberal* political agenda" of anti interracial relationships...🤣🤣🤣 I love when white people try to differentiate and blame other factions of white people as the racist ones. It's ALL of you. You sound off your rocker. The reason the character was brutally killed off twice is because the racist ass writers and showrunners sunk their own show by not treating their Black lead as a human being and expected her to work through debilitating illness and fatigue at a a grueling 16 hour work days. No one was colorblind during this show's run. Not the racist fans who spent three years terrorizing Nicole Beharie and Orlando Jones nonstop online. Not the racist media publications and critics who CONSTANTLY downplayed Nicole and Abbie as the female lead. Not the complicit white male lead who NEVER spoke up in her defense during or after her tenure on the show. And not the racist show writers who relegated Abbie and Frank to the roles of Mammy and servant. Only there to serve as helpers for the never ending Crane Family Drama. Your revisionist history and the warped lens you viewed this show speaks volumes. Abbie was wronged and her character was assaulted for years before they killed her off. 🙄🙄 funny you didn't notice or have issue with that though

[@bluefilmsltd]

Lol, she looks like a black Reese Witherspoon

[@tyawad1312]

I really dont want them to be together. Can there just by an awesome action show where the male and female lead dont hook up. Nothing wrong with a brother and sister relationship

[@silverdotmanee]

u do see the chemistry right? they cant be brother n sister. look at them!

[@Reeceonthebeat]

silverdotmanee totally agree, it would be incestuous à la Jamie and Cersei

[@SilviaAzzaroliAutrice]

I agree with you. They are best friends and Ichabod loves so much his wife Katrina that loves him so much. Why the people hate the couples of Katrina and Ichabod? Why?

[@silverdotmanee]

ooh noo. i dont hate them, i just love ichabod n abbie more.

[@DragonHeart613]

@Ty Awad, Amen dude!!! Glad to see I'm not alone in hoping that Ichabod & Abby remain just best friends and that Ichabod will find a way to be with his beloved Katrina forever in the end!!! Ichabod belongs with Katrina especially after everything they've both have had to endure in the name of their love!!! I hope that unlike The Mentalist that the creators & writers do not screw up the show by matching the two main characters, that for once the male & female main characters stay just pals!!!

[@iamaghost6139]

Please, I beg you, NO relationship. between these two characters. Just get through the situation without drama.

[@AsSheLikesIt]

+Lauren Hild 'No drama'. Hmm does that a good TV show make?

[@Dakdizzy]

i don't want them to hook up. to many shows end like that.

[@hongry-life]

1:27-1.29 = Gay talking, so no chemistry, unless Nicole is a guy.

[@tyawad1312]

I really dont want them to be together. Can there just by an awesome action show where the male and female lead dont hook up. Nothing wrong with a brother and sister relationship

[@claudia7254]

That is my thought also So what they spend half an episode in bed I think not let them be best friends
