Matthew Goode’s Off-the-Charts Chemistry With Teresa Palmer Has Fans Swooning — But It’s What Happened After Filming That Really Has People Talking
When A Discovery of Witches first hit screens, viewers were instantly hooked — not just on the magical drama and high-stakes storyline, but on the undeniable, slow-burn chemistry between Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer. As vampire Matthew Clairmont and witch Diana Bishop, the pair managed to make every shared glance feel electric, every touch loaded with tension.

Fans quickly took to social media to declare their on-screen connection “ridiculously hot” and “the best slow-burn romance in years.” But according to insiders, that sizzling energy wasn’t just good acting — it came from a genuine camaraderie that developed between the two stars off camera.

“They clicked instantly,” a crew member told the Daily Mail. “They had this shorthand — little jokes, knowing looks. It made filming the romantic scenes so much easier because they actually enjoyed each other’s company.”

But here’s the twist that’s got fans leaning in a little closer: the best moment between the two didn’t even make it into the show.
While shooting a particularly intense love scene, the director called “cut” — only for Goode to burst out laughing and Palmer to throw a pillow at him. The crew thought it was just a quick blooper… until they kept going. Apparently, the two improvised a hilarious, mock fight that ended with Goode dramatically “swooning” into Palmer’s arms, completely unscripted. The footage was never aired, but according to those who saw it, it was “pure gold” and “even hotter than the actual scene.”
Palmer later hinted at the incident during an interview, saying, “Let’s just say Matthew has a flair for the dramatic — even when the cameras aren’t rolling.” Goode, for his part, coyly dodged the topic with a smile: “Some things are better left between co-stars.”

Fans, of course, are now begging for the blooper reel to be released. “We’ve seen them be magical and romantic — now we want to see them being goofy together,” one wrote on X.
Until then, viewers will have to settle for the magic that did make it into A Discovery of Witches. And judging by the reaction online, that’s more than enough to keep Matthew and Teresa at the top of TV’s most-loved on-screen couples list.
