To be fair, Stevie has consistently said since The Dance interviews that she and LB get to have their love affair onstage and that it ends when they walk off that stage. In fact, she has been quoted as responding with "over my dead body" to LB seemingly joking statement that "you never know" if they may get back together.
For the most part, the whole "the love affair cannot end once the concert is over" is just us fans, for the most part myself included, discussing this issue, which, again, they have always flatly denied.
For my part, I think they know the whole drama thing sells tickets. But, I also think they are showing real emotion up there even though their actual actions (the Landslide hug, the Tusk fight, etc.) pretty much are the same "act" every night. I think it is possible to have both.
