The cast of 'Melrose Place' reached a consensus on not allowing any tongue-kissing in filming after a difficult real-life separation.

In the '90s show "Melrose Place," Andrew Shue and Courtney Thorne-Smith remembered how they handled their on-screen kissing scenes despite their real-life breakup.

The on-and-off romance between the 56-year-old actor and the 58-year-old's characters on the FOX prime time soap opera mirrored their real-life relationship, which began in 1992 and ended.

On the "Still The Place" podcast, Shue and Thorne-Smith discussed how they continued to portray characters in a romantic relationship despite their separation.

"It was shockingly not weird," Thorne-Smith said.

""Although it was tough at times, we managed it well," Shue stated."

Thorne-Smith remembered having a conversation with Shue to set boundaries for their characters' love scenes after they parted ways in real-life.

"The "Ally McBeal" alum stated, "We were no longer dating when we had to kiss. I remember saying, 'Now we're professionals, no tongue, you understand?'""

"Although we were dating before the show, we continued dating after our breakup in real life. However, our transition into friendship was smooth, and there wasn't much tension between us."

Shue concurred with his ex-colleague and stated that they stood by each other during their sudden rise to fame following the success of "Melrose Place" on FOX.
