Bethany said, “It’s like, ‘Oh it’s my friend.’ I don’t know, it felt strange because we were definitely super close by then. He was probably my best friend on the show at the time. I have kissed Paul in real life, and he’s a good kisser.”

“You know, we’re friends, you’re not friends, you never know what’s going to happen,” she added.

The episode found the cast playing different characters while traveling back to the 1940s and Bethany played a woman who was in an abusive relationship with Paul‘s character.

“He was like, ‘Just hit me.’ And I’m like, ‘Paul, I don’t want to hit you.’ So I smacked him. What you saw on camera was the real deal, for sure,” she said (via Us Weekly).
