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.
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.
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.
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.
American Hustle
American Hustle is a glamorous portrayal of the life of con artist Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), his partner Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper), mistress Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams), and his wife Rosalyn Rosenfeld (Jennifer Lawrence).
The plot is centered on Rosenfield’s con-man career and relationship with his wife and mistress, but Sydney and Rosalyn have a rather intense scene of their own.
