Initially, Julie was Paul’s physician, treating his Parkinson’s, however as soon as their connection deepened, she handed him off to a different doctor. In spite of everything, relationship your affected person is not precisely inspired – not that Paul or Julie have ever been the sort to fret about what others assume. Their scenes collectively vary from tender to downright electrical, and let’s be trustworthy as Gaby: more often than not, “super hot” is the one solution to describe them. Once they’re onscreen collectively, their age is current however more often than not it is irrelevant – it is by no means hidden, but it by no means defines them. The main focus is on who they’re as folks, not the variety of years they’ve lived. What you see are two flawed, complicated people who not solely take care of one another however are additionally deeply, unapologetically attracted to 1 one other.
