Stranger Things Creators Added an Unscripted Kiss Specifically Because It Made Sadie Sink Uncomfortable
When host Jim Rash asks about shooting the kiss, Sink initially points accusingly at the two Duffer brothers. “You didn’t… Ugh!”
“This is all your fault, though,” Ross Duffer protests.
“It is not my fault!…It was not written in the script. The kiss was not written in the script,” Sink insists in the above video. She then describes how, on the first day of filming the Snow Ball, “one of you – I think it was you, Ross – you say, ‘Ooh, Sadie, you ready for the kiss?’ I’m like, ‘What?! No! That’s not in the script… that’s not happening.‘”
“And so the whole day I was, like, stressed out,” she continues. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, wait, am I gonna have to…?’ And it didn’t happen that day, but on the second day of filming the Snow Ball.”
Duffer then cuts in. “You reacted so strongly to this—I was just joking—and you were so freaked out that I was like, ‘Well, I gotta make her do it now.‘”
“Oh, that’s why it’s my fault?” Sadie says sardonically.
“That’s why I’m saying it’s your fault,” Duffer agrees. “Anyways, it’s great. I can’t imagine it without it.”
It’s your fault? Seriously?
McLaughlin also talked about how it was his first kiss, and while he at least knew the kiss was coming on that second day, he was also “feeling weird.” As the kiss was approaching, he “heard big applause. They’re like, ‘You’re next!’ I’m like, ‘What?‘”
“Yeah,” Sink added, “Our first kiss was in front of like 200 extras, and their parents, and the crew, and my mom.”
Um???
Yikes.
Just so you all know they also didn’t script the kiss between Mike and Eleven in Season 1. Its shitty.
There is literally nothing on this godforsaken planet I can enjoy without it being ruined by some man
