Life With Derek is one of your fave throwback Disney Channel shows, and even though it ended way back in 2009, one thing has lived on for sure: Casey and Derek shippers!

Casey and Derek never happened for the very obvious reason that they were, well, step-siblings. But that didn't stop fans from noticing Dasey's crazy chemistry.

But, surely, we had to be imagining that chemistry. It couldn't have been intentional, right?

Well, MTV sat down with Ashley Leggat and Michael Seater, who played Casey and Derek, and what they had to say about Dasey will either shock you or make you the happiest shipper alive.

Both Ashley and Michael said they're totally down with the controversial ship and don't think there's anything wrong with it. Actually, Michael admitted that "since actors always want to find subtext in their lines and give fans what they desire," the fan-favorite ship was always in the back of their minds.

So, if you remember thinking there was some romantic subtext to this scene:

You probably weren't imagining it.

Ashley can see why people shipped Dasey, pointing out that "Dasey was just like when you simultaneously hate and love someone, since the step-siblings rarely got along, but did prove to be there for one another when it really counted." You know, your classic love/hate relationship.

Apparently, there was a Life With Derek spinoff called Life With Derek, Again in development (that never ended up happening, sadly) that started out with Dasey in a pretty romantic situation.

"I can tell you the pilot started with Casey and Derek in bed together … [but] I'm not gonna tell you the context of it," Michael teased.

So, if you're totally not here for Casey and Derek getting together, then take comfort in the fact that they never did. But if youw've got a special place in your heart for Dasey, you can take comfort knowing that Ashley and Michael feel the same exact way about their characters.

They even think that they may have ended up together. "Never give up. Keep on shipping," Michael told MTV, with Ashley adding, "You never know."
