Why Did Eddie and Susie Never Choose Each Other? About Their Relationship | The Gentlemen Season 2

Why did Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass never choose each other in The Gentlemen Season 2? Their relationship is one of the most complicated connections in the series. They have chemistry, trust, loyalty, ambition, and an almost instinctive understanding of each other. So why didn't they become a couple? The answer isn't simply that Eddie chose Bella. Eddie and Susie belong to the same dangerous world. They understand the criminal business, know how to manipulate powerful people, and repeatedly put their lives on the line together. Their partnership becomes one of the strongest relationships in the story. But romantic love is different. When Bella enters Eddie's life, something changes. What begins as a strategic relationship eventually becomes genuine. Eddie truly falls in love with Bella, and she represents the possibility of a completely different future — one outside the violence and destruction surrounding him. Netflix confirms that Eddie genuinely falls in love with Bella. Susie, meanwhile, never openly asks Eddie to choose her. And that is important. Kaya Scodelario has explained that the series was deliberately not creating a conventional love triangle between Eddie, Bella, and Susie. She has described Eddie and Susie's chemistry as similar to a “work wife–work husband” relationship, while emphasizing how complicated their connection is. Susie also has her own ambitions. Throughout Season 2, she becomes increasingly determined to establish herself independently rather than remain defined by Bobby Glass or dependent on Eddie as her partner. By the finale, she and Eddie are still extremely close, but Susie is also determined to build something of her own. So perhaps Eddie and Susie never choose each other because they already chose something else — their own ambitions. Eddie chooses Bella romantically because she gives him the possibility of a different life. Susie chooses independence because she refuses to lose herself inside someone else's empire. And yet, their connection doesn't disappear. Even after everything that happens, Eddie and Susie remain deeply connected. That's what makes their relationship so fascinating. Maybe they weren't a failed romance. Maybe they were two people who understood each other perfectly — but were never willing to sacrifice the lives they wanted for the possibility of being together. In this video, we break down why Eddie and Susie never became a couple, Eddie's love for Bella, Susie's feelings toward Eddie, their incredible chemistry, and whether Season 2 leaves the door open for something more in the future. Because sometimes the strongest connection between two people isn't necessarily the one that becomes a romance.
