'Little House On The Prairie'_ Alison Arngrim And Steve Tracy Loved Grossing Out Melissa Gilbert With Over-The-Top PDA

Alison Arngrim (Nellie) and Steve Tracy (Percival) had no issue exchanging some PDA on set while filming scenes for Little House on the Prairie. So much that producers of the show even motioned a memo to the cast to try and get the same kind of chemistry for Melissa Gilbert and Dean Butler, who struggled to show affection to each other in their scenes together.

Producers really just wanted Gilbert and Butler to take some inspiration from the couple who had no qualms about showing off that chemistry. It didn’t even matter that Tracy was actually gay; they still had some amazing on-screen chemistry, so much that it actually grossed out Gilbert a bit.
