Bringing back the business to All Valley, the most anticipated Cobra Kai season 5 will be here in no time.

There are some people who although attracted to each other, and maybe deep in love, are not made for each other. There’s nothing to crave in their relationship.

The gorgeous-looking boy first entered Samantha’s life when her romance with Miguel was on fences. Miguel then grows jealous of him, cutting down everything he had with Sam. She then dates Robby but cheats on him with Miguel, who was dating Tory at that moment. A little confusing right?

As stated earlier, perhaps it is not the characters but the relationship that’s not written very well. Perhaps they didn’t get the screen time they should to become lovers from friends. Robby still cares for Sam and seeing Daniel and Johnny’s children together will indeed be an interesting arc.
