When fans think back to Season 6 of TLC’s Unexpected, there’s one couple that always seems to spark the most conversation: Lilly Bennett and Lawrence Bishop. Whether you loved them or rolled your eyes at their screen time, it’s hard to deny they were at the heart of the most memorable moments. From navigating wedding stress to raising two kids and handling finances, their storyline hit a nerve with many viewers.
What really made them stand out, though, was how relatable they were. One of the most iconic lines from the trailer had fans buzzing: “Unless we sell a body part, I don’t know how we’re going to come up with the money…” That moment, though humorous, highlighted the financial pressure so many young parents feel. Fans couldn’t help but connect, laugh, and debate over every scene they were in.
At the same time, there was a genuine emotional payoff. Their wedding, despite the budget woes, ended up being one of the most heartwarming and talked-about scenes of the entire season. One fan even wrote on Reddit, “I was never a fan nor hater of Lilly and Lawrence… but their wedding might be my favorite scene of the entire season. They both looked so happy and in love.”
Despite all that love, not everyone was sold on their return. As new rumors of a Season 7 swirled, some viewers voiced concerns that Lilly and Lawrence might be “overstaying their welcome.” One fan joked, “If they bring either of them back for season seven, I’m done.” Others questioned their parenting or felt their story lacked the spark that made earlier seasons feel more unpredictable.
Still, if they do return in the upcoming season, there’s reason to believe things could get interesting. Fans are speculating about everything from a possible third pregnancy to fresh drama in their marriage. Lilly herself has been fairly active on social media, hinting at changes in their relationship and teasing fans with updates about her kids. There’s also the possibility of seeing more of Lilly’s mom—who, let’s be honest, stole the show for many fans last season.
And who could forget the comments that made the rounds during the bachelorette party episode? The stripper looked suspiciously like someone’s uncle, and Reddit exploded with reactions like, “He looks like Jenna’s dad 💀” and “Tipsy Lilly is my favorite version of her.” These lighthearted moments are part of what keeps fans coming back—even if they say they’re over it.
Ultimately, whether you’re Team Lilly or ready for new blood, there’s no denying that she and Lawrence have become core characters in the Unexpected universe. If they return, they’ll need to bring something new to the table—perhaps deeper conflict, major life changes, or just more of the raw, funny, sometimes awkward energy fans love.
And let’s be real: even if you say you’re not watching, you know you’re still going to peek at the drama
