In Nobody Wants This, where it mainly focuses on the developing romance between Joanne and Noah, there's actually a good subplot in which their siblings interact meaningfully with each other. Fans are already wondering if this friendship will go into something more romantic for the subsequent season.
While Morgan and Sasha spend most of season one bonding over their shared status as the "loser siblings," there's always been a mild tension in the series that suggests maybe some kind of love between the two. However, probably due to this same tension, there's less of a possibility that they'll end up a couple in Nobody Wants This Season 2.
As married to Esther, Sasha genuinely likes his friendship with Morgan but isn't remotely interested in her in a romantic way. Meanwhile, Morgan appears to have emotions for Sasha, but a love affair would be the signal that throws their life into chaos. Hence, they may settle to keep it platonic while Nobody Wants This develops.
Morgan and Sasha in Nobody Wants This: Will friendship turn to romance?
Nobody Wants This opens from the very beginning of Morgan and Sasha's relationship, slowly unfolding through casual encounters that evolve into a close friendship.
Confidantes over their frustrations with being overshadowed by siblings who are successful in their other endeavors, Morgan and Sasha bond over this frustration and grow closer.
According to Screen Rant, Sasha loves spending time with Morgan because she fills in the social space of his life that even his marriage to Esther can't fill in totally. However, this friendship doesn't sit well with Esther who grew suspicious of their connection, fearing that Sasha's secrecy might point to something more intimate.
And while Morgan seems to look progressively more in love with Sasha, the situation is a far cry from mutual. Sasha values Morgan as a friend on Nobody Wants This, but has no emotional feeling for her that is romantic.
Sasha's affectionateness, so often misconstrued by Morgan as flirting, only highlights how he reaches out to all those in his life, particularly given how lonely he truly is.
As TV Line suggests, Sasha's relationship with Esther is troubled, but he does truly care for her, which makes the potential of an arc that turns romantic between him and Morgan all the more complicated.
Sasha’s secrets will have consequences in Nobody Wants This
One of the significant conflicts that surfaced in Nobody Wants This is Sasha's decision to withhold his relationship with the blossoming friendship with Morgan from his wife, Esther.
As TV Line states, Sasha knows that Esther would not favor his relationship with Morgan, so he continues to keep it a secret from his wife, which further increases conflict in their relationship.
Esther discovers their secret text messages in the season finale, declaring "those f–king sisters have got to go," which emphasizes her frustration and suspicion in Nobody Wants This. Even though Sasha does not possess any romantic feelings for Morgan, Esther's impression of their friendship is a valid concern.
Jackie Tohn, who plays Esther, comments that while infidelity can be destructive in a relationship, at least the betraying element is somehow tied up with a romantic attachment; the same level of hurt and damage perhaps is created here but without the adultery.
Whether that makes the secrecy alone is thus over certain lines of propriety in a friendship when one of the parties involved is married. While with Sasha, it is not so much a problem with the friendship but rather hiding it from his wife. Starting with season 2, the viewers can see the resentment towards Sasha's decision.
As Nobody Wants This continues, although it seems that there will be a romantic chemistry between their characters, in all probability, they will have to handle themselves and the feelings are not developed into anything that could mar Sasha's marriage.

Morgan and Sasha are likely to stay friends in Nobody Wants This Season 2
Morgan and Sasha might give a veiled impression that they seem to be into each other in Nobody Wants This Season 2, but it's evident that they have no chance of even becoming a couple. Obstacles are heavy, both personal and familial, placed before them.
For Sasha, pursuing a relationship with Morgan would compromise marriage to him, loss to his family, and the stability he has tried to achieve. As Screen Rant points out, the romantic relationship of Sasha with Morgan would make it difficult for him to be along with his family and put stress on Joanne and Noah's as well.
Meanwhile, Morgan realizes she doesn’t feel the same way about the person she loves as Sasha does; in fact, Sasha doesn’t feel that way at all. While they can relate as outsiders in their families, a romantic relationship would be harmful to both in Nobody Wants This.
For both of them, keeping the friendship would probably be an ideal choice which can provide them with emotional support but at least not ruining their lives. As quoted from TV Line, Justine Lupe who plays Morgan commented that her character is befuddled about the nature of her relationship with Sasha, and that bewilderment can form the basis of their storyline for the second season.
At least for now, it appears that this may be one development that will not work out: Morgan and Sasha remaining close friends, continuing to explore the complexities of an emotionally foamy relationship with others around them.
Those viewers who were searching for drama might find themselves settling on just a more serious view of friendship rather than a meaty romantic subplot.
