EdNorma, Underrated Supercouple?


I was wondering if any other PASSIONite was a fan of the Edna/Norma pairing? I'll admit that I wasn't quite sure about the pairing at first since Edna was introduced as a man-hungry old woman but then I realized that her sudden change in sexual preference actually made perfect sense! How? Well, we only need to go back to Edna's AMAZING musical-themed fantasy "I Ain't Sorry" for all of the answers. First, consider how all of the inmates were scantily dressed. Edna had some pretty intense homoerotic fantasy going on. Secondly, consider how homophobic she acted about having to shower with the other female prisoners. As they say, homophobes usually tend to be bisexual or gay themselves. Now, I'm not saying Edna was a full-fledged lesbian (she can't deny her attraction to a sexy hunk like Luis) but I am saying she was bisexual. Her soulmate just happened to be a lovable, psychotic woman we know as Norma Bates. I was happy when they were finally able to marry (although not legally) with Tabitha officiating. I mean, that wedding possibly had the most disturbingly romantic line ever spoken when Norma read her vows to Edna, "I'll love you 'till the day you die...and after. When the big day comes, I'll steal your head and boil it down. I'll never be seperated from your skull." Edna was touched but simply requested that Norma not forget to glue her dentures into her skull. Haha, JER was brilliant for pairing them together! It was two fan favorite, hilarious characters and I think their love was one to rival some of the major supercouples of the show. So, are there any other EdNorma fans out there?
