I'm pretty sure they do! To quote Misha from an article I'm still not 100% sure is completely legit, "You know, we know what it is, what's going on. We don't talk about it. [...] But we're all perfectly aware of how the relationship is, the writers are completely aware of how it's being written. It may be unspoken but that doesn't mean it's not there or not true."

So there. Also, "violent male model." So done.
