If you suspect that an actor couldn't possibly be angry about the fact that fans care enough about his character to bless his romantic endeavors with an affectionate portmanteau, you're absolutely right. In a Q&A video posted on Access Hollywood's Twitter account, Soffer and other "One Chicago" actors fielded a series of fan questions ... and, perhaps inevitably, encounters one about his take on the whole Upstead situation. "What is your favorite thing about Upstead's relationship and partnership?" a fan asked Soffer.
Fortunately for Upstead fans, the actor very much counts himself among them, and specifically names the couple's tendency to avoid making a huge deal about themselves as one of his favorite aspects of the relationship.
"I guess I really like that they are kind of like their own thing," Soffer said. "Like, they didn't make a big deal about the wedding. They're just, this is what they are."
In a world of overly romantic on-screen couples, an unassuming relationship like Upstead can feel like a breath of fresh air — and, judging by Soffer's comments, the "One Chicago" couple won't be changing course any time soon.
