Though Todd and Téa's marriage started out as just a means to an end, it has slowly turned into One Life to Live's best romances - minus the flowery words and sex, of course.There has always been a spark between the two - it was evident from the first day they connected. Téa's fiesty, straightforward attitude is a unique complement to the withdrawn and sullen Todd. And they seem to be equals in everything from intelligence to emotional baggage.
Slowly, that spark has developed into a flame; Téa figured that out long ago, but Todd has just come to realize it. This recognition was never more evident than when Téa, tired of masquerading as a loving wife and admitting that she wanted more from him than his mere presence, threatened to walk out on him unless Todd agreed to give their relationship a chance. She was halfway out the door when Todd finally stopped her.
Now fans are watching the two slowly discover each other - something that obviously scares the hell out of Todd, but is a treat for viewers who enjoy their chemistry. Whenever Téa gets too close, Todd pulls away - even if he is the one who initiates the intimate moment. Still, it is a step in the right direction.
