  1. > Despite the initial awkwardness, Turner said she and Harington agreed “The Dreadful” script was so good, they “kind of had to do it.”

    > She continued, “We put it out of our minds, and then we get on set and it’s the first kissing scene, and we are both retching. Like, really, it is vile. It was the worst.”

  2. It’s nice that they have a sibling like relationship. I knew she was really close to Maisie, but I always thought the age difference and the fact that they didn’t film much together kept Kit and Richard a bit more aloof with the younger cast.

  4. I’d assume it’s like kissing your own brother…

  7. Memories of Radcliffe and Watson saying the exact same thing…

  8. Preemptively explaining why the acting in the scenes will be forced and poor? Lol, just let the show come out without a million contexts given

  9. This reminds me of how when I was a kid me and my best friend who was a girl were all but forced to kiss each other for some stupid picture our parents wanted. Vile is definitely the word I’d use in that situation.

  10. Some of these actors really need briefing on marketing.

  12. Must be the bad memories from the finale coming back

  15. everyone’s being really normal about this in the comments as usual. /s

  16. Hahahaha. I love hearing this . Those creepy jonsa shippers are flipping out right now 🤣

  18. Well they played siblings for years as Starks. If they were Lannister siblings it’d be no biggie

  20. It runs in the family. Why would they cast people with no chemistry?

  21. This is dumb and them just being unnecessarily dramatic. Plus they aren’t even blood siblings in the show.

  22. That’s incredibly childish. Aren’t they supposed to be adults whose job it is is to pretend?

  23. Watching Sophie Turner try to act elicits the same response in me.

  24. Lmao the people saying “oh yeah must be so gross kissing her”

    Remember he first met her when she wasn’t even 16 years old, sure she’s 29 and had a kid now, but to him its like kissing your younger, under age sister.

    Some of my friends kids who were 14 I met the first time when I was 20, they’re now 25 and i’m 30, I can tell you I very much still see them as that teenager, and kissing them would make my skin crawl, job or not, you’re still kissing that person and (potentially) having to do it in a romantic and or sexual way.
