Piper and Alex
Though a reunion was expected at some point, it did not seem like there would be any rekindling of romance, given the muddy history between the two women. But to the astonishment of viewers, Piper and Alex share a kiss in the prison’s chapel.
This scene was what viewers were hoping for but it was still totally shocking as the broken history between the two characters made it seemingly impossible for them to reconcile.
Cage and Rita
Because of the intense, action storyline, the filmmakers struggled to find a moment where a romantic scene between the two was appropriate. Emily Blunt, however, truly acted as the leading lady and took the initiative to kiss Tom Cruise during an unexpected scene.
Though it was not planned, it added greatly to the storyline, showing that Blunt was right to follow her instincts.
Orange Is the New Black
The highly acclaimed series Orange Is the New Black follows Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) as she ends up in jail alongside her ex-girlfriend, Alex (Laura Prepon).
The show’s flashbacks reveal that the two women were romantically involved and how Piper finds herself in jail because of Alex’s criminal activities.
The X-Files
The ‘90s hit sci-fi show, The X-Files follows FBI agents Fox (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) as they explore unexplained, supernatural events.
Fans were hoping this duo would finally fall for each other, but the show’s creator did not want a conventional romance for the characters.
Fox and Scully
That’s why the kiss between Fox and Scully in season seven, blindsided X-Files fans. While in an alternate universe, Fox and Scully finally share a passionate kiss, making fans' dreams come true.
Although the two wouldn’t make their relationship official for years, the surprise of the first kiss kept the romantic tension (and the fan’s interest) alive.
