Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Bear introduces Claire as Carmy's love interest in season 2, but she's proven a surprisingly divisive addition to the FX show. Although The Bear's first season focuses more on Carmy's work in the kitchen than his personal life, the sophomore season digs deeper into his relationships.

Claire Is Very Different To The Bear's Other Characters Is Claire Underdeveloped On The Bear Compared To Other Characters? Claire is very different from The Bear's other characters, and this could be one reason viewers find her underwhelming. While most of the characters have their strengths, they're also rough around the edges. Carmy's family and friends come from complicated backgrounds, and this makes them complex people.

Claire Has Been Described As A "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" The Bear's Claire Has Been Accused Of Simply Being A Male Fantasy Another point of contention about Claire's character is that she falls into the "manic pixie dream girl" trope. An archetype often used in late '90s and early 2000s films, the manic pixie dream girl is a quirky female character typically used to further the male protagonist's story.

The Bear Fans Shipping Carmy & Sydney Is Another Reason Some People Dislike Claire Could Carmy & Sydney Actually Get Together On The Bear? Close There are good points to be made about how Claire's character is written, but there's another reason some viewers don't appreciate her and Carmy's relationship in The Bear. Sydney enters Carmy's life a full season earlier than Claire, and some fans of the show began rooting for Sydney and Carmy before Claire even showed up.

Looked at from this perspective, it makes sense that Claire feels less developed than the other characters in The Bear. She doesn't have as much baggage weighing her down, and so, she has less to dwell on than the others. This is great for her well-being — and it's something many people would envy — but it doesn't necessarily make for interesting character writing.
