I also think, from a more practical pov, Theo became much bigger than the writers had anticipated. CVD said in an interview that they all fell in love with the character as they wrote him. Calam's chemistry with Claudia was off the roof too. A kiss would have cemented the fact that they were perfect, and the fans would have never been able to forget them if they had had a kiss.

I totally understand why, since Theloise isn't endgame, they did not want to give them that kiss.

Yes, one single woman comes up to her to call her out but none of the main characters ever do!

But also nothing wrong she's ever done can be mentioned! Benedict is having a love story with a working class woman and he has no conversation with Eloise, the sibbling with whom he's has the closest relationship, who herself had the start of a romance with a working class man. But they can't have that conversation, because having that conversation means mentioning the fact that Penelope broke them up, and we can't talk about Penelope doing something wrong.
