I think there might be hints of romance, mabe some underlying tension, old flames and such (Adam may or may not be an example). I don't think it should interfere with the main plot though.

I think that the first series will be more about the characters themselves and the audience getting to know them in any case so, hopefully romance will be held off until much later.
