‘New Girl’ season 2 spoilers: Jake Johnson talks possibilities for Nick and Jess

So what is coming up next on “New Girl” season 2? We know already that the storyline for Nick and Jess is something that is currently making waves all across the internet, and if you like this pairing, then you really can rest assured that the tension between the two is not going to stop bubbling anytime soon.

Speaking in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jake Johnson had the following to say about the current state of affairs for the two characters, who are set to have something resembling a first date soon, and also the mere fact that the show is brave enough to “go there” right now despite still being in what is really an infancy period for some sitcoms:

“I don’t know if they are actually ready to date, but I love that we are exploring it … They gotta start getting together. And there is so much to play with. What if they tried dating? What would happen? If they fall in love, what would happen? What happens if they then break up or date other people? I’m glad we are getting to it. It is time. … Not that we are going to jump all in like next week or something.”

The biggest issues that these two probably face as a couple are mostly mental right now, including being able to see past some of the goofy behavior of each other and embrace what is inside (corny as that sounds). Plus, they have to be willing to risk what happens if the relationship does happen to go south.
