Behind the Scenes: How ‘The Couple Next Door’ Stars Conquered Wild Sex Scenes!

In the latest season of the explicit Channel 4 series, the duo portray Charlotte and Jacob – a long-married pair attempting to maintain the passion in their relationship that has spanned over two decades.

“And we had a laugh when we were doing the intimate scenes, because, I mean, it’s just ludicrous!

During our filming, we unexpectedly found ourselves performing a romantic scene inside a restroom. To our astonishment, when we glanced up, the cameraman was signaling us from the rooftop!”

“In the middle of shooting an intimate scene in a bathroom, we looked up to find the camera operator waving at us from the roof!” (less formal)

Both versions maintain the original meaning while being more natural and easy to read.

These moments are quite unsettling, and having someone trustworthy by your side makes all the difference. It enhances feelings of safety as well as attractiveness. Comfort in physical proximity is key to this experience.

Palladio concurred, stating that the duo would occasionally pause for a brief moment or two before each scene to ready themselves.

He emphasized that the relationship meant a lot to him and it brought them joy, as he recalled an endearing moment. In one such special instance, he jokingly warned, “Don’t you dare look down, for I have a rather unsightly, paper mache pouch that they provided me with some tape to attach myself. Don’t look down!

Scholey quickly affirmed, “No, we didn’t! We made a pact that we wouldn’t look, and we held up our end of the bargain.

In the show, the stable existence of Charlotte and Jacob is disrupted when Aggy K Adams, a puzzling Norwegian nurse who later becomes their neighbor, enters their hospital and eventually settles down next to them.

Intriguingly, Charlotte’s former partner, Leo (Sendhil Ramamurthy), resurfaces after quite some time, hinting at lingering feelings towards his adventurous ex who explores her sexuality.

Let the awkward love triangles commence.

The Couple Next Door season 2 airs on Channel 4.
