During a new interview with Vulture, Charlotte was asked what the mood was like on set before the two actors had to film the brothersâ kiss.
âObviously theyâre not brothers by blood, so that made it easier,â she claimed, but said that Patrick still found it âreally difficultâ.

âFor Sam, he was kind of like, âItâs whatever, letâs just do it well one time and it will be overâ,â she recalled. âYou know? Because if you donât do it well the first time, then you have to do it over and over again.
âBut Patrickâs reaction in the episode is his genuine reaction. We all thought he was going to throw up. And Sam was like, âItâs fine, itâs just a kiss, calm down!â.â
She also confirmed that the intoxicated brothers kissing twice â first a peck, and later a more prolonged kiss â was in Mike Whiteâs original script.

Earlier this week, Patrick shared his own take on the outrageous scene, claiming that Mike Whiteâs hope is to leave it to viewers to work out whether there was more to the kiss.
âHe wants to leave that up to the interpretation of the audience of what is happening,â he told Today.

âWas a power shift happening? Is there a different power dynamic between him and Lochy? Is Lochy coming on to him? Is it the drugs? Is it the girls pressuring him? What is it? So, I think he leaves that open-ended for the audience to try to decipher.â
He also told The Hollywood Reporter: âThereâs always more than what meets the eye of the shock value on screen.â
Something potentially going on between the Ratliff brothers had been on fansâ radars since episode one, when they shared an inappropriate bedtime conversation, before Saxon walked nude to the bathroom in order to masturbate, while Lochlanâs eyes remained on him as long as possible.
