On-Screen Kisses That Stirred Up More BTS Drama Than People Realize

The kiss between Jim Caviezel and Taraji P. Henson in Person of Interest happens just before Henson’s character meets her tragic end. However, that’s not the only reason it resonates so profoundly. Throughout the series, their characters share a close bond as dear friends, which is why the showrunner was initially hesitant about the unscripted kiss.

He intended the scene to focus on their enduring friendship, not a romantic connection. However, he admitted that, deep down, he had been secretly hoping for it. When he saw the final cut, he realized the kiss felt authentic and added a genuine emotional layer to the scene.
