I think they have a lot in common. Especially love wise. I mean Emma dated first Sean, broke up with him and started crushing on Craig, only to be looked over by Manny who he chooses instead. This exact thing happened to Ellie. SHe went out with Sean, broke up with him and started crushing on Craig also. HE chooses Manny again. Only, Ellie's crush lasted longer. I find this strange and i;m wondering if it was planned or not.
