They have real chemistry, and chemistry is the difference between a relationship that you buy, and a relationship thats nothing more than 'they like each other cause the writers say so'
Maria and Sharon are always there for each other, look out for each other, like the same things, consult each other before making decisions, and fill in gaps in each others personalities. Thats not to say they never have disagreements because they did fight on occasion, neither one is portrayed as perfect. But you can tell how close they are and you can see why. Everybody should have a bro like Maria. See also Candace and Stacy from P&F
The rule of thumb for best friend characters is; if these characters could easily be lovers without having to change much about the writing, youre doing a good job.
