"Which is, of course, just a misdirection because the entire show is their love story. We didn't want that [to be obvious] right out the gate, though. There was even a little bit of a red herring [at the start]. We knew people would assume there was some flirtation going on with Owen based on their conversation in the car. But, yeah, we totally manufactured that little meet cute [with Dani and Jamie] and I truly love it. They say you make three movies, the one you write, the one you shoot and the one you edit. That's definitely a scene that came out in post completely different than any of us knew it would be on set. It was never on our minds when we were [filming on the day]." Mike Flanagan's commentary for The Haunting of Bly Manor (Episode 1 "The Great Good Place")
DANI X JAMIE The Haunting of Bly Manor
This is how I feel when my grandparents let me take care of their garden when they go away
You said it was a ghost story. It isn’t. It’s a love story. THE HAUNTING ANTHOLOGY
Thinking abt how Dani tends to walk at super speed everywhere and Jamie tends to saunter much more slowly and how they’d have to hold hands if they were walking anywhere together to achieve a speed equilibrium
