Resident Alien’s Hilarious Kiss Between Alan Tudyk and Edi Patterson? It Was Totally Improvised

Harry (Alan Tudyk) is falling in love on this season of SYFY’s Resident Alien, and it turns out there’s a funny real-life story behind that memorable kiss in the latest episode.

The show’s current third season introduced a brand new alien into the mix with the Blue Avian named Heather (played by Edi Patterson), who is in a bit of a whirlwind romance with Harry. Though obviously a relationship between two aliens is a bit weird, that weirdness extended fully to their hilarious on-screen kiss in the latest episode “Lovebird,” the fifth installment of Season 3.

The pair share a kiss with way too much tongue, biting, bird, and alien sounds, and just general awkwardness during a dinner party at Asta’s (Sara Tomko) house, which was so uncomfortable that fans took to social media to ask series creator Chris Sheridan if that weirdness was scripted or something the two comedy stars just made up with on their own.
