And yeah, she really roots for them, which almost feels like a secret being kept from him, which now that I think about it is actually super cute in a ship context like aw Jackie you liiiiiiike him (or support him for your friend but still Shh its cute you’re cute you like him) |

I was a big fan of Jackie and Eric's bantering scenes. Only wish there were a few more of those throughout the seasons.

I'd want to see J/E develop a begrudging respect and friendship, nothing romantic. They both love the same people (Donna and Hyde), which is a good foundation to work from. __________________

I always saw a lot of bromance potential between them

They had their moments though and i would really like if their interactions developed into something more.

"Jackie's Cheese Squeeze" had the potential to change the status quo between Jackie and Eric, but the writers wanted their cake and to eat it, too. In the end, Eric has no reason not to go back resenting Jackie and act hostile toward her. Jackie, obviously, didn't consider Eric's friendship and support worth more than using him as a way of deflecting Kelso's anger at her onto him. Jackie and Eric's dynamic was given no true, lasting development. In the season 7 finale, Jackie's kind words to him are for a joke because of the above. "Hahahah. Jackie always insulted Eric and acted disgusted by him and treated him disrespectfully, but now she's all, 'You've always been very special to me," etc. __________________

If only writing process on the show was more organic and thoughtful. But we've got what we've got. Luckily we also have you

While season 6 was a season where Jackie and Donna's friendship should have deepened (storyline squandered), season 7 could've been a great time for Jackie and Eric's friendship to develop. The moment Jackie learns Eric's trying to find what he's passionate about, her ego would take over, and she'd make it her mission to help him. Taking up roller-disco could've been her idea, and he is really surprised how much he likes it. Jackie, of course, tells him he doesn't have a great chance of making a career out of it since roller-disco was on its way out a year ago, but at least he likes it. The T7S writers, though, were very much about separating Eric from the majority of the other characters, save Donna and his parents. Most episodes, he's not interacting with Hyde, Kelso, Fez, or Jackie in significant ways. __________________

Maybe they were setting up ways to write Topher out of the show?
