Why Oliver Putnam and Loretta Durkin make an adorable couple in 'Only Murders in the Building'
Remember when Oliver first laid eyes on Loretta? It was clear he was smitten, and who could blame him? Loretta, with her remarkable talent and enigmatic presence, captured Oliver’s heart almost instantly. As they worked together, their bond grew, transforming from a simple friendship into something more meaningful.
The way they shared stories, flirted during rehearsals and discovered they had crossed paths years earlier all hinted at something special. At a time when showrunners have failed to deliver a meaningful relationship to the younger protagonist, Mabel Mora (played by Selena Gomez), we turn to Oliver and Loretta to deliver us a happy ending.
