Jordan and Layla only got together because neither character had anything going for them
Asher claiming that they are each others childhood crush is so laughable, because this was a retcon. They made it look like Jordan was pining after Layla while she was with Asher and Spencer.
They weren’t planning Jordan and Layla at the start of the show, and put them together because neither character had nothing to do and Simone was getting her own spinoff
Some fans acting like it was are believing fools gold. Jordan was actively helping Spencer get back with Layla back in season 2. The two hardly said a word to each other, let alone be in the same scene together
u/Alternative-Note-844 says it well here.
“If we wanna be real the only reason Jordan and Layla happened was bc the network wasn’t gonna keep paying for special appearances for Simone to show up in AA and vice versa with Jordan on AAHC. That’s an additional guest spot of money the network didn’t want to spend. So the writers were pigeonhole to write a Jordan and Simone breakup. Best believe had NK never gotten the green light for AAHC with Simone leaving, Jordan and Layla never would’ve happened. Simone was first written to go to Stanford (her first choice school) which kept her in California, near her son and with Jordan. So when Jordayla fans say things like this relationship was predicted since S1/2 I always laugh bc it really wasn’t.”
Their reveal in season 5 to everyone was such a joke and laughable because it ended up being a complete waste of time.
