I'm surprised by how much I am enjoying Hanna & Holbrook together. I think I would like to see them together. It's definitely different from Aria/Ezra, which has always creeped me out.

I think the two main things are that first, Hanna is over 18, while Aria was 16/17 when she got together with Ezra. Second, Ezra is Aria's teacher so with his position of authority over her there's an element of coercion, which was really obvious in the Hot for Teacher episode when he convinced her to stay at the cabin and isolated her from her friends & family.

I think Hanna's always been shown as stronger than Aria - especially when it comes to relationships. Hanna always did what she wanted regardless of Caleb's wishes (and same with Sean after a certain point), but Aria changes what she wants based on whomever she's in a relationship with. With Holbrook not being in a direct position of authority I think Hanna would be able to handle a relationship without letting him dictate everything the way Aria allows Ezra to do.
