If we're talking COMEDY and not RomCom.
Is it okay to wait until the middle of act two to introduce a love interest subplot?
The reason I ask is that typically you hear that it's the midpoint (or "the pinch") in the middle of the second act where the character takes a more involved stake in the story.
And with one that I'm currently thinking on, it seems to work best if the impetus for this involvement were a love interest.
My only concern, obviously being that I'd be too far into the script to introduce such an important character. One that will help drive a pretty meaty subplot.
Any thoughts?
