It's all a case of "image." They don't want anything concrete if they don't know if they plan to keep certain characters or not. So they don't leave people wanting more saying, "Oh, but they FOR SURE KISSED! You showed it clearly. So you have to continue it!" Blah blah more complaints. I do agree. As kids, we thought all these shows were cool, funny, and interesting. Now? We look back and....some really were seriously dark. More "mature" than we realized as kids.

To me, it looks like, seems like from everyone's reaction, and I know they kissed. From what I hear about her in that season with Ash. It's obvious it lead to a veiled "kiss" scene. Though why they couldn't just show it like everyone was waiting for....we will never know.
