Winter Love Island fans have reacted to the lobe triangle between Casey O’Gorman, Claudia Fogarty, and Rosie Seabrook; it has been quite an eventful outing for Casey O’Gorman on Winter Love Island 2023. After entering the villa as a bombshell, he quickly raised eyebrows when he coupled up with Lana Jenkins in a shocking recoupling ceremony. However, he was left red-faced after Lana ditched him almost immediately and returned to her love interest Ron Hall. Thankfully, Casey dusted himself off quickly coupling up with bombshell Claudia Fogarty. Their romance seemed to be gaining momentum until new bombshells Rosie Seabrook and Keanan Brand entered the villa after the dramatic movie night episodes. Before entering the villa, Rosie hinted at some of the male Islanders she fancied. She said:
“There’s a few. Casey, he’s got the personality and looks that I always go for.”
She continued:
“I’m unsure if he’s got the height but I can let that slide because he’s got everything else. I also like Tom, he’s very good-looking and tall.”
So it wasn’t surprising that she chose to couple up with Casey after taking him on a date on her arrival. Meanwhile, Keanan also chose to couple up with Claudia, breaking up the once budding romance between Casey and Claudia. Claudia was left upset by the recoupling and feared that Casey would stray. And Casey did little to assuage her fears when he admitted he found Rosie attractive and would like to get to know her. Rosie made the situation worse when she told some of the girls she thought Casey and Claudia were the least compatible couple on the show. As expected, Claudia caught wind of the gossip, leading to a clash between the two girls.
Fans Think Casey Is Dragging Claudia Along
Although Casey had Claudia before the recoupling ceremony, he showed eagerness to explore a connection with the new bombshell Rosie. However, he has not shut the door on reconnecting with Claudia, creating a love triangle. Love Island fans feel they can recognize the game he is playing and have taken to Reddit to call him out for dragging Claudia along. One of the Redditors said:
“Casey, just choose Rosie properly and stop dragging it out with Claudia. Being clear and ending it with her is kinder than dragging it out.”
Some other fans also accused Casey of being a hypocrite citing his reaction when Lana ditched him quickly after realizing there was nothing there for her. Many of them feel Casey does not have genuine feelings for Claudia, and he is only stringing her along to guarantee a spot on the show. While commenting, one user wrote:
“He told Tom he is not into her so he can miss us with “I am testing myself to see if I have stronger feelings blah blah blah” if he sticks with Claudia, I will believe the people that said he is dragging it because the public voted for them.”
Fans Think Casey Wants To Avoid A Claudia-Meltdown
The most recent episode of Winter Love Island shows Claudia having a meltdown after the recoupling ceremony threw a wrench in her relationship with Casey. Claudia got very emotional as she voiced her fears over the situation while being consoled and reassured by the other girls. Claudia’s reaction has led many fans to believe that Casey might be stringing her along because he is weary of being on the end of a similar response from her.
One of the users claimed:
“Also I suspect Claudia is going to have a meltdown at some point too when he tells her and he’s probably resisting it. The girls have had such extreme reactions to everything this year that I think the boys are just holding back a lot to keep the peace.”
Another viewer added:
“Oh she totally will. She cried over him after a 3 day couple 💀💀 she is totally crying her eyes out if Casey shows more attention to Rosie. The way she held everything in casa over his head is weird af so why wouldn’t she overreact again.”
As the conversation continued on Reddit, more fans stepped up in defense of Casey’s actions. They argued that Casey had been very honest with Claudia and it wasn’t his fault that she had stronger feelings for him than he did for her. The trio’s situation would not be the first love triangle on Winter Love Island 2023; while many of the previous “triangles” quickly disintegrated, there is no telling what will play out between the trio of Claudia, Casey, and Rosie.
