5 Shows You Didn't Know Were A Nightmare Behind The Scenes

What she didn't know was that Duffer was joking when he asked her about the kiss scene. On seeing her reaction, however, he decided it would be hilarious to write one in. In his own words: "You reacted so strongly to this -- I was just joking -- and you were so freaked out that I was like well, I gotta make her do it now ... that's why I'm saying it's your fault." To be fair, he's only 15 and it's normal for kids his age to be complete d- wait, she's 15?! OK, this story is even more messed up than we thought.

They could have almost turned the story around if the directors had then worked with Sink to help her overcome her discomfort in order to make the scene more believable (aka doing their jobs), but nope, they only made fun of her. Clearly, playing troll was more important here.

Whilst shooting an episode set by a public pool, Riggs actor Clayton Crawford was continually disturbed by the sound of nearby pool-goers. In response to this, he launched into a profanity typhoon featuring half a dozen F-bombs before rounding on an assistant director so badly that they quit on the spot. Any age is "too old for this shit" around this guy, apparently.

After this incident, the studio posted a security guard on set to keep the peace, to no avail. Crawford continued acting like a major ass to the cast and crew, a spiral that ended with a near-brawl between him, co-star Damon Wayans, an assistant, and a producer after a stunt directed by Crawford went bad. The scene, which called for an explosion, resulted in Wayans suffering a major laceration on the back of his head that forced him off set for the rest of the day. When he returned, Crawford called him a "pussy," a "crybaby pussy," and told him that he was only famous because of his brothers. Always the bigger man, Wayans retorted with a classy and evocative "Well, suck this pussy's dick."

Although the rest of filming was peaceful -- not least because the two were separated at all times and escorted by security -- Crawford was soon fired from the Riggs role, something that not even Gibson managed. He's being replaced by a new character played by Stifler himself, Seann William Scott. The curse is real.

It's hard to say that all of this drama was worth it, especially considering that the finale of the first new season drew 10 million fewer viewers than the finale of the final season that aired on the BBC.

It seems that instead of doing his job as a tuxedo-wearing envelope stand, the PwC accountant spent most of the night swanning around the backstage area, taking (and tweeting out) photos with the assorted celebrities. At 9:04 p.m., a backstage photographer caught a snap of the accountant looking at his phone, and he tweeted a photo of Emma Stone holding her Oscar trophy a minute later ... which is a little damning, considering that the envelope hand-off to Beatty and Dunaway happened somewhere around 9:03. We can't say for sure that his excitement over a #oscarsselfie with Stone caused him to drop the ball, but it would probably be for the best if they banned using Twitter inside the Dolby Theater. And then everywhere else. Just to be safe.

But despite having a good relationship during the show, Jethro was nowhere to be seen when Abby bid adieu to the series. They showed flashbacks of the two together, sure, but no new scenes. Was there a MILF convention he had to attend or something? Well, not quite. According to people working on the show (and a series of cryptic tweets by Pauley Perrette, Abby's actress), Jethro and Abby friend-divorced because their real-life counterparts went to war over the dude's dog.

While filming the show, Harmon had a habit of bringing his dog to set, which sounds like a good idea until it mauls a crew member and causes them to require 15 stitches or something. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened in 2016. Despite this, terrified crew members say Harmon refused to stop bringing the dog to work, where he also serves as an executive producer (we mean Harmon; the dog is merely an associate producer). Perette, then, playing off her own popularity with the fans, reportedly went to bat for the crew and called Harmon out on his bullshit, leading to the most ridiculous rift in television history outside of professional wrestling.

The bad blood between the two stars reached the point that they entered a Good Wife-esque arrangement whereby they never had to be on set at the same time, except via the magic of editing. The show recently had a boost in ratings during Abby's farewell episode, but if viewers leave in droves now, they could always strap a motion capture rig on the ever-present dog and try to CGI Abby back in.
