dated from 2008 to 2010, and their characters on the show were also dating. When the two split, the show writers already had a plan for Penny and Leonard’s on-screen split as well. For many couples, a split doesn’t necessarily stop hook ups or the occasional getting back together — which is what started happening with Cuoco and Galecki’s on-screen characters after the end of their real-life relationship.“All of a sudden, we started noticing there were extra makeout scenes for our characters, and/or sex scenes,” Cuoco told Vanity Fair while doing press for Jessica Radloff’s new book “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story.”“I was like, ‘I think Chuck is f—king with us!’ We were convinced.

Zack Sharf Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki will forever be associated with their respective roles as Penny and Leonard on CBS’ long-running sitcom “The Bing Bang Theory.” The actors, similar to the characters they played on the show, fell in love while working together and dated from 2008 to 2010. “Bing Bang” writers were already planning Penny and Leonard’s breakup when Cuoco and Galecki split in real life. During interviews for Jessica Radloff’s new book “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story” (via Vanity Fair), both Cuoco and Galecki shared their belief that series creator Chuck Lorre added more Penny-Leonard kissing and sex scenes after their real-life split just to mess with them.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments in the first six episodes of “House of the Dragon,” currently airing on HBO and streaming on HBO Max. If one of the big narrative challenges of “Game of Thrones” was managing the geographical sprawl of its many interweaving storylines, the challenge for the first season of its prequel series, “House of the Dragon,” is stretching the story of the civil war within the Targaryen family over multiple decades. George R.R. Martin’s bestselling book about the conflagration, “Fire & Blood,” spans generations — children are born and grow into adulthood within the two warring factions of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her former best friend turned stepmother, Queen Alicent Hightower.

Billy Eichner’s “Bros” will be making history upon its release as the first R-rated gay rom-com ever made by a major studio, but that historical record certainly won’t include the Middle East. The Universal movie, which hits the U.S. box office on Sept. 30, is set to roll out across most international markets in October and November, but is pre-emptively skipping any kind of release in Middle East markets due to cultural and commercial reasons, sources close to the studio tell Variety. It’s still unclear exactly what markets in the region will be affected, but it’s likely to include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Kuwait — all of which are notorious for censoring movies over even the slightest hint of LGBTQ themes or content.

House Of The Dragon intimacy coordinator Miriam Lucia has addressed Sean Bean‘s comments about on-set protocol for sex scenes.Last month, Bean was met with widespread criticism after he suggested that intimacy coordinators “spoil the spontaneity” of sex scenes.Now, in an interview with Deadline, Lucia has opened up about her experience working as a coordinator on the new Game Of Thrones spin-off, highlighting the importance of her role in the wake of Bean’s comments.Addressing a scene in which Alicent Hightower (played by a then 18-year-old Emily Carey) is made to sleep with her much older husband King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), Lucia spoke of the necessity of having an intimacy coordinator on set.“She [Carey] basically said she was very frightened ahead of that scene, and that without an intimacy coordinator she wouldn’t have known how to handle it,” she said.“It was good to hear that following on from Sean Bean’s comments about how intimacy coordinators ruin spontaneity. But I get why he said that, because he doesn’t have the same experience of it, and because this is a new function on sets.”Lucia went on to explain her role in greater detail, saying: “People don’t really know what it is that we do.

Ethan Shanfeld Emily Carey, who plays young Alicent Hightower in HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” opened up about being “scared” of doing sex scenes in the “Game of Thrones” prequel due to the “violence upon women” in its predecessor. In Sunday night’s episode, titled “King of the Narrow Sea,” Carey appears in two intimate scenes — one in which Alicent bathes her husband, the much older King Viserys (Paddy Considine), and another in which she has sex with him.

I was a bit concerned.”
