It\u2019s the kiss that was heard all around Donegal and beyond. As two of Derry Girls\u2019<\/a> lead characters locked lips after 16 episodes of secretly crushing on one another, viewers couldn\u2019t contain their delight as they whooped and hollered following the romantic display.<\/p>\n When James (Dylan Llewellyn) had a \u201cnear-death experience\u201d, courtesy of Sister George Michael\u2019s runaway van, he decided to seize the day \u2013 YOLO, and all that. The morning after their spooky sleepover, he put on his big boy pants and admitted his feelings to Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson): \u201cI think I\u2019ve liked you for a long time\u2026 I think you\u2019re beautiful.\u201d Aww.<\/p>\n And then came that internet-breaking snog.<\/p>\n Fans have been calling for the pair to get together since season 2 when James gallantly missed his Doctor Who<\/a> convention to accompany Erin to the school prom. She\u2019d been stood up by dastardly John-Paul O\u2019Reilly, so \u201cthe wee English fella\u201d stepped in at the last minute, like Derry\u2019s own version of Ross Geller from Friends<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Clare (Nicola Coughlan), the most perceptive member of the gang, picked up on their spark, as did many viewers, with the couple duly nicknamed \u201cJerin\u201d online.<\/p>\n James rescuing them Irish girls????????#rossgellerlike<\/a> #derrygirls<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/eHDsP7Nl7f<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Dylan Llewellyn (@Djllewellyn) April 2, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>
