That ‘Outer Banks’ Kiss Wasn’t Supposed to Happen

“It was supposed to be a cheeky kiss,” she told PureWow. “That’s it. Just a cheek kiss.”

Despite the PG-rated script, Grant and Daviss devised a plan to sneak a real kiss. “Me and J.D. were like, ‘Yeah, we’re not ending the season like this,’” she said.

Although their plan was vetoed by production, they decided to move forward anyway. “We were just going to start kissing,” Grant explained. “We weren’t going to ask because we kept asking, and they’re like, ‘No, we don’t think so.’ So, we were like, ‘OK, whatever. We’re just going to start kissing. And then they’ll have it, and they’ll love it. So, there’ll be no way that they can stop us.’”

Grant continued, “And then that’s what happened. Then they liked it, and they kept it.”

And we’re so glad they did.
