Thanks for linking the clip! Obvs I can't know what my reaction would've been if I'd watched it without knowing the truth beforehand, but I think it started out OK but then got awwwkward halfway through, right around the 1:29 mark, LOL.
To be fair I think that a lot of people were already wondering if Julianna and Archie would actually both appear in the scene together, so the scene did come in for a lot of extra scrutiny, maybe it wouldn't have been picked up on otherwise?
Hmm yeah, probably. The thing is, the heightened scrutiny was also the result of how the behind-the-scenes feuding affected the long-term story enough to make most of the audience notice, which is part of the whole problem, IMO. Like, we know everything on TV is faked, but the whole point is we're not supposed to be thinking about that while we're watching, LMAO.
