Boasting one of the most intense fanbases of any show, Games of Thrones is full of violence, dramatic love scenes, and major plot twists.
In the seventh season of the series, there is an unexpected kiss between Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan) and Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma.)
A Room with a View
Nothing beats a love story, at the beginning of the 20th century in the English Countryside. The Oscar-winning movie "A Room With a View" holds the innocents of that period when even one small kiss could hold an entire scene.
Periodic Edwardian movies of this sort don't need much to evoke those romantic vibes. The famous "Kiss in the Fields" scene has more to what the eye could see.
Lucy Honeychurch and George Emerson
Helena Bonham Carter, who played the magnificent role of Lucy Honeychurch, is swept away by the charms of George Emerson, played by Julian Sands. The known and loved "Kissing Scene" wasn't planned.
The young 18-year-old Bonham Carter was so anxious to bring the role she played to perfection. She was more bothered about not falling off her high heels when reaching Julian Sands through the fields than kissing him without laughing.
Yara and Ellaria
With all the ongoing flirting, fans may have had an inkling as to what was coming next. Clearly, the actors read the room right because the kiss couldn't have been more satisfying.
Later it came out that the kiss was improvised by Whelan and Varma. When the director decided the kiss was a keeper, Varma also had to kiss Whelan’s stunt double in the later scenes for the sake of continuity!
Stranger Things
Viewers fell for the new cult classic, Stranger Things. In season two, fans were introduced to a new teen love story between Max (Sadie Sink) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin). Many episodes later, the two teens finally work up the courage to admit how they really feel about one another. This materializes in a tender, coming-of-age kiss.
But behind this special moment was a lot of anxiety for the young actors. The kiss was not written in the original script but was in fact, added during a take by the show's creators.
