After two full years on the show, it seemed that the potential romance had long passed and fans abandoned any hope of the two ex-lovers reuniting.
Turns out they were fooled! In the season two finale, Florrick and Gardner finally had their fiery moment, in an elevator! All that waiting ultimately satisfied the love-hungry fans.
Sam and Diane
At the end of season one, Sam and Diane are in another typical heated argument, this time, seemingly to the point of no reconciliation. Until things take a turn.
Suddenly, the two share a passionate kiss, immediately turning the scene on its head. This was really a shocking moment for fans and an excellent payoff.
The Good Wife
ER was not the first time actress Julia Margulies was involved in a surprise kiss. In the show The Good Wife, Alicia Florrick (Margulies) begins working for a former lover, Will Garnder (Josh Charles), from her law school days.
Viewers detected something might happen between the two, but they didn’t exactly know when.
To All the Boys I’ve Ever Loved Before
In this beloved Netflix rom-com, hopeless romantic Lara Jean (Lana Condor) has written love letters to, well, all the boys she’s ever loved, only to discover that her younger sister has delivered them!
Positively mortified, Lara Jean does her best to navigate a day at her high school as each boy comes forward to ask her about the letter that is addressed to him.
Lara and Peter
As one of the boys approaches her, in a moment of panic, Lara Jean grabs one of the unsuspecting jocks (Peter, played by Noah Centineo) and quite literally, kisses him down to the ground. Hoping she has thrown off her crush, Lara Jean quickly moves past the moment, but Peter is now hooked by curiosity.
Happily, for Lara Jean, the staged romance eventually leads her and Peter to a well-written love story in the end.
