These actors definitely deserved Emmys, for making their onscreen relationship convincing, when they couldn't stand each other away from the cameras.

I immediately thought of Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepard in "Moonlighting", one of the most infamous examples.

For hating each other’s guts, Stana and Nathan sure did a good job hiding it.

Karen Grassle & Michael Landon, who played Caroline & Charles Ingalls on the TV show Little House on The Prairie, did not get along because Landon (was a producer & director for the show) refused to give her a raise

It's amazing how talented actors can create such believable chemistry, even when things weren't perfect behind the scenes.

Michael Landon and Karen Grassle on Little House on the Prairie played a loving couple but had a turbulent relationship behind the scenes. He refused to pay her and belittled her role on the show according to her. He was difficult with a lot of the adult actors, it seemed like he was better with the child actors who had a more positive relationship with him

The animosity between costars added to the chemistry between them.

You know, in following Cybil Shepherd's career, it doesn't sound like she was very pleasant to work with either. She was, apparently, jealous of Christine Baransky because she got "getting all the good jokes" on the show Cybil and won the Emmy awards over her. She demanded more jokes and, ultimately, ended up sabotaging and tanking show because of her negative feelings towards Baransky.

Castle wanted continue the show without Stana Katic but I’m glad they didn’t. It was cancelled instead which was probably the better choice. Castle doesn’t work without Detective Beckett.

So much hatred and toxic relationships.

1. Martin Lawrence / Tisha Campbell situation was mainly her then husband's doing because of his jealousy and insecurities.

2. I don't think they're still bad blood between Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray. I think her comment is just reflective - there was so much hype around the love story on the show that maybe some of it played a factor in her choice to marry him.

1:17 So, they didn’t hate each other while working together.

Martin and Tisha made up years later.

I do think that it was the right decision for Heidi to be written off of Seinfeld. Not because of the work issues, but because having George end up married (or any of the characters really), would have been too absurd given the horrendous behavior and attitudes of the characters.

It would have softened George’s character a bit too much. And given that the whole point of the show was to focus on the horrible behavior and attitudes of the four main characters, without them ever becoming better people, it would have been bad to soften any of them.

Luckily, by writing her off the way they did, and George basically being ambivalent about it, it just solidified how awful these people are.

I may not like the show myself, but I do give the people involved props for knowing what the show was and sticking to that for the entire run.
