| Regarding Jeff/Lauren on-screen they're probably one of the more suited pairings in terms of age, since Jeff can come across as someone as his own age and also as someone younger than his age. So I'm definitely in the boat that has no problem with it.
From the sides we've been told that Arlen provides his books to Kris even though he doesn't want to (hence the reclusiveness, since Kris hunts him down). While Elizabeth encounters Kris at work when he comes into her practice. |
