In popular entertainment, the love triangle is always evolving, adapting with new trends and taking new forms. As for why viewers are currently flocking to shows featuring brotherly love triangles, Halsall says, “Some of it is wish fulfillment. But a love triangle featuring brothers can be labeled simply ‘young adult,’ ‘ new adult ,’ or ‘contemporary,’ for example.” And let’s face it: In all their yummy emotional mess, love triangles are one of the few things we can still all argue about together.” While love triangles themselves are unlikely to die anytime soon, the very specific “brothers” dynamic will only “continue until the audience is saturated,” Robinson believes.
