Speaking of AD, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler were a couple who had a brief fling, married, and then she immediately divorced and tried to sue him.
In real life they divorced about 8 years later.
It really is a testament to how big Friends was at its height that they were able to make an entire episode built around one meta joke of "Brad Pitt is married to Jennifer Aniston in real life but his character hates her" and it wasn't a complete disaster.
Robin Williams and Billy Crystal's cameos weren't planned either, they happened to be on a nearby set and the writers asked if they were interested. They also ad-libbed their entire scene.
Willow and Wesley from Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been married the best part of 20 years now, still together. Their characters were hardly the best of pals.
Barney’s husband plays “Scooter,” Lily’s high school boyfriend who is still in love with her.
Robin’s husband played Gary Blauman, a coworker of Barney and (for a while) Marshall. He is mostly a one-note side character until the very end of the last season.
There's something really bizarrely romantic and sweet about how Charlie is so obsessed with the waitress because of this fact
Like, there's an episode in one of the later seasons where the waitress finally asks why Charlie won't just go for someone else because there's so much wrong with her, and Charlie says something like "There is no one else, because I love you". That kind of stuff always makes me a little happy to see haha
They've ruined a lot of great storylines after Season 11. I hate what they did with the Charlie/Dee relationship as well, with the retcon that she raped him. Probably could've got a funny episode of the other guys finding out, rather than writing a quick joke in the Times Up episode. Also, ending the mystery of Frank being Charlie's Dad was bad.
Amy Pohler and Will Arnett were married for a while, and she cameoed in Arrested Development and he cameoed in Parks and Rec. Both times they hated each other
She did an episode of Brett Goldstein's podcast "Films To Be Buried With", that was a lot of fun. Bill Lawrence and Zach Braff have also done episodes. It's a really great podcast all around.
Not the same thing but Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey, who played Bronn and Cersei respectively on Game of Thrones, are a former couple (they broke up before the show even started if I recall) who dislike each other so much that it was in their contracts that they don’t have any scenes together
There is a big meeting in the final season. Jon captured and brought a Wight to King’s Landing to show the threat in the north and convince Cersei to send her armies to help. It’s most of the major characters in the show meeting there, many of them for the first time. You could tell it was treated as a huge deal to have all these characters who’d never interacted before suddenly share a scene.
Bronn was supposed to be guarding someone in the meeting but before it starts he says something like “this will be boring” and fucks off with Pod to get drunk.
On the one hand, it’s a hilarious way to write him out of that scene. On the other, it also works so well with his character.
“They’re going to show off a fucking undead soldier that’s part of an army to kill us all? Eh, whatever, I’ll see them when I’m killing them. Let’s go get drunk.”
John Cleese and Connie Booth in Fawlty Towers, sort of? Maybe not the best example, since Basil hated everyone, and Polly was probably the one he hated least. Also, they divorced between seasons.
Amy Poehler showed up in a few episodes of Arrested Development as a woman Will Arnett’s character married after a series of escalating dares when they were still married in real life. He couldn’t even be bothered to learn her name.
that because keri cheated on her first husband by having an affair Matthew during the first season of the Americans. Considering she divorce her husband a year after the show premiered it's pretty obvious why they tried to kept it a secret till she got pregnant cause it would've been bad optics.
Sunny basically does it with their whole cast. Charlie/Waitress, Rob/Kaitlin, and then Dennis married the pharmacist that he DENNIS'd in the classic "DENNIS System" episode.
Glenn Howerton and Jill Latiano were married two months before the episode aired, so presumably were dating well before the episode was made.
Charlie Day and Mary-Elizabeth Ellis started dating before the show started and were married in 2006.
But Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson actually met through the show and were married in 2008.
> Charlie Day and Mary-Elizabeth Ellis started dating before the show started and were married in 2006.
Yep, they actually played incestuous siblings on an episode of Reno 911 before It's Always Sunny too. I'm not sure if they were dating before that or if it's how they met... But their relationship (and on screen work) does predate It's Always Sunny. [Clip can be viewed here](https://www.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/ngeue7/charlie_and_the_waitress_on_reno_911/)
Love me some Corner Gas. Loved the movie and animated series as well. And yes, knowing that they were a couple adds to the fun.
Almost as much fun as it is to hate Wullerton.
They were attracted to each other when infected with a lust virus, but Sisko kept Bashir from being murdered the next day by sending him to bed... in his own quarters.
That was honestly my favorite season. Their interactions were so like amazing. He's just like some gullible butcher who wants to be a butcher, and she is like wow crazy.
That’s interesting, as I thought they had been together for longer than that. Though maybe as their season had aired back in 2017, and I just watched the whole series this year.
True Blood (kinda). There are many parts of the show where Sookie hates Bill. In real life they got married during the show’s run and Anna Paquin was actually pregnant during the making of season six.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Alexander Siddig played Julien Bashir; Nana Visitor played Kira Narys. Kira was quite annoyed with Bashir during most of the series but the two actors were married.
I know about Jensen and Daneel, couldn't remember if their characters actively hated each other or not. Other than Dean's general distrust for angels. Ruby/Sam I definitely remembered lol. Pretty sure Jared said in an interview once like my kids are going to ask why is daddy killing mommy if they watch it :P
Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter had a very mature civilized divorce and stayed friends but her character hates him for most of season 8 and is freaked by him in s7 as well. Hope those words aren't too spoilery.
Just always thought it was weird timing that the divorce went thru and then the very next season her character’s written to maybe possibly be falling for her brother lol
That was a dumb subplot, and most reactors I've seen on YouTube and other fans agree, that therapist was toxic for planting that seed of an idea in her head.
There's a season 2 episode of the Good Place where Dax Sheppard plays a demon who makes a pass at Kristen's character and she says, "right back at ya" - more wholesome than hatred but ya know
Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna are married both in real life and play a married couple on Veronica Mars, but their relationship on the show is toxic to say the least so I think it counts.
Not *hate* but Alyson Hannigan & Alexis Denisof have zero chemistry on screen and barely interact at all as their characters on Buffy & Angel, which is ironic cause they have been happily married for years now.
Have only watched bits of How I Met Your Mother one ages ago but I know he guest starred a few times as a news host with Robin and I wouldn't be surprised if her character Lily hated him for the laughs.
Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs as Maureen and Benny in RENT - stage and movie; were dating when it was on Broadway, and married for the movie. (They're divorced now.)
I guess that's not TV, but...!
Wasn't there a Friends episode back when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were dating where Pitt made guest appearance and really hated Rachel?
Ironically they came to a nasty breakup afterwards, but at the time it was hilarious because they were the golden couple.
She's the flight attendant when he's on the plane, so absolutely hates his guts.
But in another episode, she's a small-town sheriff who appreciates Monk's help and hits on him, so she's been on both sides of the coin.
Xander Berkeley and Sarah Clarke met on the first season of *24*, then married before the second. George and Nina are not exactly on the same side.
Also, while they've never met on the show, Sacha Dhawan and Anjil Mohindra's characters in the Whoniverse would hate each other.
The main cast members from the 100 (Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley) spent season 1 hating each others and undermining one another’s efforts while romancing other characters almost out of spite for each other.
Then the final season kinda caps off that rollercoaster in an extreme way. But they are still together!
On a similar note Charlie and the Waitress are a real life couple which makes their in-show relationship much funnier even though the hatred is one-sided.
John Slattery and Talia Balsam are married irl and play exes in Mad Men. They don’t hate each other in the show exactly, but it’s a complicated relationship. I love their characters so much!
Technically, Tom Holland and Zendaya in the first MCU Spider-Man film. The girl spent the entire film shit-talking everyone around her, but especially Peter and Ned.
Not quite that but as best as I can extrapolate from the one episode she appeared in of the season-so-far and the backstory revealed in that Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas's Tracker characters are rivals that may have a little romantic tension but it's the kind you'd also see between Batman and Catwoman
Dodgeball. Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor
Zoolander
And Burning Love, for the 4 other fans out there
Burning Love was so good
Yay all five of us are here! We're just doing our thing, like how Blaze is just being Blaze.
I will accept this hose.
I feel seen.
I'm one of those 4
I have a question - my pussys wet. ….. that’s not a question
They didn’t hate each other in Zoolander
But why models?
But why models?
Didn’t he hate her until the orgy?
Less relevant but I think they were both in Arrested Development too, just not at the same time.
Sally Sitwell and Tony Wonder!
Did someone say... WONDER?!
There were! They actually slept together on the show
Speaking of AD, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler were a couple who had a brief fling, married, and then she immediately divorced and tried to sue him. In real life they divorced about 8 years later.
Wait, he married her? Even after she made him bleed his own blood?!
Her character also despised his in Dodgeball.
This is film
Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, on Parks & Rec.
Tammy 2 is always a fun watch. Especially when she hears that Tammy 1 is back in town.
Oh, hello.
Hey, it’s my first r/beetlejuicing moment.
I have two ex wives. Both named Tammy. Both bitches.
That's a crazy coincidence. What's your mom's name?
Tamara. She goes by Tammy.
My favorite example of this
“You have aged horribly”. The show is even funnier once you realize they are married in real life.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston in that one episode of Friends.
It really is a testament to how big Friends was at its height that they were able to make an entire episode built around one meta joke of "Brad Pitt is married to Jennifer Aniston in real life but his character hates her" and it wasn't a complete disaster.
Don’t forget ER cross over including Clooney and Robin Williams + Billy Crystal cameos
Robin Williams and Billy Crystal's cameos weren't planned either, they happened to be on a nearby set and the writers asked if they were interested. They also ad-libbed their entire scene.
And it sucked
Agreed! I actually like Friends, and Robin Williams, Billy Crystal is okay in some things but their cameo on friends was terribly unfunny.
Willow and Wesley from Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been married the best part of 20 years now, still together. Their characters were hardly the best of pals.
He also plays Robin's pervy co-host in How I Met Your Mother, though I can't recall if he had any interaction with Lily.
He did once in season one. He tells Lily “I can’t imagine you cranky.” Also the spouses of Robin and Barney are in the show as well.
Barney’s husband plays “Scooter,” Lily’s high school boyfriend who is still in love with her. Robin’s husband played Gary Blauman, a coworker of Barney and (for a while) Marshall. He is mostly a one-note side character until the very end of the last season.
He’s the bastard who stole a man’s accidental curly fry.
Gary Blauman? I hate that guy!
A better example may be Tara and Warren, except I think the actors started seeing each other much later.
That is incredibly strange. "Hey, remember when my character shot your character? Anyway this is me shooting my shot, will you go out with me?"
He didn't hesitate to put some skin in the game.
Spoiler tag this not bc it's a spoiler but bc I didn't want to cry today
Sorry, it's been 22 years, that's way past the 3 year politeness doctrine.
They didn’t get together until after the show. In fact, at first he turned her down.
I think she turned him down because she didn't date coworkers, and once he went on to Angel she went out with him.
Opposite; he turned her down initially.
Charlie and the Waitress are also married IRL. Which I think is way funnier than Rob and Kaitlin being married.
Especially since they were together before the show even started
And Dennis is married to the woman he tries to get back in The D.E.N.N.I.S. System
And Frank is married to that old hag in Dee's building.
Well, they’re divorced but friends, unless they remarried again.
They never divorced. Just separated
There's something really bizarrely romantic and sweet about how Charlie is so obsessed with the waitress because of this fact Like, there's an episode in one of the later seasons where the waitress finally asks why Charlie won't just go for someone else because there's so much wrong with her, and Charlie says something like "There is no one else, because I love you". That kind of stuff always makes me a little happy to see haha
Kinda undermines the sweetness that he immediately hates her as soon as they get together.
Charlies the dog that chases the car, he doesnt know what he'll do if he ever gets it, but fuck does he want to catch that car
I LOVE always sunny but the Charlie and the Waitress finally getting together story was not good.
They've ruined a lot of great storylines after Season 11. I hate what they did with the Charlie/Dee relationship as well, with the retcon that she raped him. Probably could've got a funny episode of the other guys finding out, rather than writing a quick joke in the Times Up episode. Also, ending the mystery of Frank being Charlie's Dad was bad.
Michael and Carol on The Office, played by Steve and Nancy Carell - it wasn't hatred, but it was pretty much a disaster of a relationship
You're telling me not everyone photoshoots themselves into their gfs family pictures 2 weeks in?
It's a bold move, and Michael is a bold guy. *Is 'bold' the right word?*
Amy Pohler and Will Arnett were married for a while, and she cameoed in Arrested Development and he cameoed in Parks and Rec. Both times they hated each other
Nice to see you again...Usarmy.
I see you lost a lot of weight in Iraq…especially in the northern region…
Katie Aselton was married to Mark Duplas during the League
They’re still married. You made me think they divorced lol.
Mitch Hedberg energy.
Who downvoted you? I definitely had the same thought!
Not directly but I think Bill Lawrence making his wife one the most hateable characters on Scrubs is hilarious.
Jordan "Godzilla" Sullivan
She and Bill are fun to listen to on the podcast.
She did an episode of Brett Goldstein's podcast "Films To Be Buried With", that was a lot of fun. Bill Lawrence and Zach Braff have also done episodes. It's a really great podcast all around.
🎶ISNT SHE LOVELY 🎶
>hateable Huh? She is pure awesomeness.
Not the same thing but Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey, who played Bronn and Cersei respectively on Game of Thrones, are a former couple (they broke up before the show even started if I recall) who dislike each other so much that it was in their contracts that they don’t have any scenes together

He couldn’t even be bothered to learn her name.
Will Arnett also showed up in an episode of Parks And Rec where he was a terrible date for Amy's character.
Also she later dated Nick Kroll who played “The Douche.”
Crindy!
Name’s not Crindy GOB.
Her name was “GOB’s wife”
In the opposite extreme we have Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, that are a "perfect" marriage in "The Americans" and are also married in real life.
But I thought they weren’t together until after the show started and they only disclosed their relationship when she was pregnant
that because keri cheated on her first husband by having an affair Matthew during the first season of the Americans. Considering she divorce her husband a year after the show premiered it's pretty obvious why they tried to kept it a secret till she got pregnant cause it would've been bad optics.
I wouldn't say they had a perfect marriage, they resented and disliked each other a lot.
Sunny basically does it with their whole cast. Charlie/Waitress, Rob/Kaitlin, and then Dennis married the pharmacist that he DENNIS'd in the classic "DENNIS System" episode.
Did he marry her after that episode or before?
Glenn Howerton and Jill Latiano were married two months before the episode aired, so presumably were dating well before the episode was made.

There's a Canadian show called Corner Gas. Wanda is always making fun of her boss, who is her real life husband.
Love me some Corner Gas. Loved the movie and animated series as well. And yes, knowing that they were a couple adds to the fun. Almost as much fun as it is to hate Wullerton.
*spits*
I love that show! Gabby always reminded me of Canadian Linda (Lynda?) Carter. Canadian Wonder Woman!
So happy to see this here!! Was my absolute first thought!
Found the animated series during lockdown and really enjoyed it.
Not hatred, but more annoyance, Kira on DS9 wasn’t too fond of Dr. Bashir though they married and has to write her pregnancy into the show.
"This is all your fault!"
They were attracted to each other when infected with a lust virus, but Sisko kept Bashir from being murdered the next day by sending him to bed... in his own quarters.
Who knew Arianne Martell was half Bajoran?
The Norvoshi have nose ridges. It is known.
Not TV but Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst are married in real life, but you’d have never guessed it from that *one* interaction in Civil War…
Though they also played a married couple on one of the seasons of TV’s Fargo.
That was honestly my favorite season. Their interactions were so like amazing. He's just like some gullible butcher who wants to be a butcher, and she is like wow crazy.
Well she liked her magazines
That’s how they got married actually haha (Fargo has been a matchmaker for a few couples actually)
I also know about Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Wanstead - any more?
That’s interesting, as I thought they had been together for longer than that. Though maybe as their season had aired back in 2017, and I just watched the whole series this year.
Also in The Power of the Dog.
Fucking Landry, good for him
True Blood (kinda). There are many parts of the show where Sookie hates Bill. In real life they got married during the show’s run and Anna Paquin was actually pregnant during the making of season six.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Alexander Siddig played Julien Bashir; Nana Visitor played Kira Narys. Kira was quite annoyed with Bashir during most of the series but the two actors were married.
Well on Supernatural Sam does eventually kill Ruby but marries her in real life.
Jensen Ackels is married to Danneel Ackels who played Sister Jo and Aneal on Supernatural.
Rowena and God are also married
Now this I did not know!! And they had a baby this year!
I know about Jensen and Daneel, couldn't remember if their characters actively hated each other or not. Other than Dean's general distrust for angels. Ruby/Sam I definitely remembered lol. Pretty sure Jared said in an interview once like my kids are going to ask why is daddy killing mommy if they watch it :P
Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar in Star Wars Rebels
Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter had a very mature civilized divorce and stayed friends but her character hates him for most of season 8 and is freaked by him in s7 as well. Hope those words aren't too spoilery.

That was a dumb subplot, and most reactors I've seen on YouTube and other fans agree, that therapist was toxic for planting that seed of an idea in her head.
Evil therapists were a bit of a thing at the time.
"Evil" is a strong word but definitely unprofessional and possibly too dumb to be in that profession definitely.
I more specifically meant the batshit insane kind who manipulate their patients for enjoyment. Someone in hollywood didn't enjoy talk therapy.
Roger and Mona in Mad Men.
Your wife’s name is *Mona*
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd have a scene in the Veronica Mars movie where he’s a dork and she pretends to vomit when he hits on her.
There's a season 2 episode of the Good Place where Dax Sheppard plays a demon who makes a pass at Kristen's character and she says, "right back at ya" - more wholesome than hatred but ya know
There's an unproven rumor that The Boys stars Erin Moriarty (Starlight) and Antony Starr (Homelander) were dating.
Jack Quaid (Hughie) is dating Claudia Doumit (Victoria Neuman).
Oh hell yeah good for Jack
Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna are married both in real life and play a married couple on Veronica Mars, but their relationship on the show is toxic to say the least so I think it counts.
Bridesmaids, Melissa McCarthy is married to the fellow who was the air Marshall.
Not *hate* but Alyson Hannigan & Alexis Denisof have zero chemistry on screen and barely interact at all as their characters on Buffy & Angel, which is ironic cause they have been happily married for years now. Have only watched bits of How I Met Your Mother one ages ago but I know he guest starred a few times as a news host with Robin and I wouldn't be surprised if her character Lily hated him for the laughs.
In JAG, David James Elliott and Nanci Chambers play characters who are rivals and dislike each other,
Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs as Maureen and Benny in RENT - stage and movie; were dating when it was on Broadway, and married for the movie. (They're divorced now.) I guess that's not TV, but...!
Wasn't there a Friends episode back when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were dating where Pitt made guest appearance and really hated Rachel? Ironically they came to a nasty breakup afterwards, but at the time it was hilarious because they were the golden couple.
He hates both Rachel Green *and* complex carbohydrates.
God and the Queen of Hell (Rob Benedict and Ruth Connell) on Supernatural.
Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin in Gotham. At some point Lee hated Jim.
David Giuntolli and Bitsie Tulloch in Grimm starting s3
The Rookie. Jenna Dewans irl husband Steve K plays her manipulative ex husband who is trying to destroy her.
Sonny & Cher
What I admired is that they kept working together after their divorce.
What about Roger and Mona Sterling?
Monk and his real life wife has played a few characters in the show
She's the flight attendant when he's on the plane, so absolutely hates his guts. But in another episode, she's a small-town sheriff who appreciates Monk's help and hits on him, so she's been on both sides of the coin.
Oh yes
Xander Berkeley and Sarah Clarke met on the first season of *24*, then married before the second. George and Nina are not exactly on the same side. Also, while they've never met on the show, Sacha Dhawan and Anjil Mohindra's characters in the Whoniverse would hate each other.
Charlie and The Waitress in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Dennis and the Pharmacist in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”
The main cast members from the 100 (Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley) spent season 1 hating each others and undermining one another’s efforts while romancing other characters almost out of spite for each other. Then the final season kinda caps off that rollercoaster in an extreme way. But they are still together!
In real life , Mary Matalin and James Carville
In Bridgerton, the actor for Benedict Bridgerton is dating the actress for Philipa Featherington.
On a similar note Charlie and the Waitress are a real life couple which makes their in-show relationship much funnier even though the hatred is one-sided.
I mean, to keep it in the show, Charlie and the waitress. Charlie doesn't hate per se, but I'd say his stalkerish behavior has some hate in it.
Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder on V-Wars
Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara on King of Queens. Sort of. Her character has the hots for him, he can't stand her.
Glenn Howerton and Jill Latiano. He used the DENNIS system on her. She hates him.
Charlie Day and Mary Elizabeth Ellis are in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They both don't hate each other, but one hates the other.
John Slattery and Talia Balsam are married irl and play exes in Mad Men. They don’t hate each other in the show exactly, but it’s a complicated relationship. I love their characters so much!
Technically, Tom Holland and Zendaya in the first MCU Spider-Man film. The girl spent the entire film shit-talking everyone around her, but especially Peter and Ned.
Charlie and the waitress on iasip lol
The League
Not quite that but as best as I can extrapolate from the one episode she appeared in of the season-so-far and the backstory revealed in that Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas's Tracker characters are rivals that may have a little romantic tension but it's the kind you'd also see between Batman and Catwoman
But then Justin Hartley seems to have sexual tension with every woman on Tracker.
[удалено]
Yeah but they don't hate each other.
Very true. I forgot about that part and went for unexpectedly married.
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
