“Luke and I read the books at the beginning of the first season, and it was funny to us. We were like, ‘Imagine if we had to kiss and do that.’ And then season three came around and we were like, ‘Oh God,’ and then it’s like, it’s my friend, I have to kiss my friend,” Coughlin told ET. “They were babies in the first season… It was very intimidating to step into that romantic cloak.”
