Scenes where Angela + Tony approach intimacy?


Here are the ones I best recall...

Angela and Tony kissing when tipsy. Tony tells her the next morning that he carried her to bed & tucked her in and she's a little afraid as to exactly what might have transpired!

Tony inadvertently stumbles upon Angela in her bathroom, just getting out of the shower.

Angela and Tony sleeping in the same bed. Forget exact circumstances but think it's on a train. Of course nothing happens but a lot of speculation...

Any others I've forgotten?

I liked that second line the best

Tony inadvertently stumbles upon Angela in her bathroom, just getting out of the shower

That happened towards the beginning of the series rite?

reply

Yes, I think it was one of the earlier episodes.

reply

The episode is "Briefless Encounter". It's the second episode in the first season. That is an hilarious episode and it is one of my favorite!!

I saw the special on Who's The Boss on E True Hollywood Story/ The director or the writer said that when they filmed this second show they wanted to surprise Tony Danza by having Judith Light actually taking a shower and have her face toward Tony Danza as he came into the bathroom.

It worked in my honest opinion because they caught what they were wanting in the expression because Judith Light was actually nude she said when they filmed that scene for the episode.

Um,
not intending to be a buzzkill, but how was that scene "approaching intimacy"?
(Not to say I didn't like that episode in season one, which is on DVD...)

It was played for laughs, as an accidental encounter, with Tony having Angela's permission to use her big bathtub for a bubblebath while she was out of town on a business trip. Tony was unaware she returned early, since they had not seen each other, and Angela was wearing headphones listening to music in her bath, and didn't hear Tony coming while he was singing. She was standing up, starting to dry off with a towel when Tony walked into the bathroom with them facing each other, Tony in his bathrobe, Angela with her towel behind her back, still wearing headphones...

During the WTB reunion show, Tony, long after the fact of course, said Judith wanted to get a genuine reaction for that situation, so she was topless, (if not nude, but Tony's eyes went "north" of her waist). Surprised shock certainly registered on Tony's face, and the camera jumped around Angela's/Judith's body, showing nothing more than her bare back, navel, and face, feigning shock/surprise. I hardly consider that intimacy.

A small part of that scene was included in the episode when the IRS info had Tony and Angela married, and an auditor was sent out to check their returns; it was also a "recap" of some of the earlier episodes. It **may have** shown some slightly different footage of that scene, showing a little of the side of Angela's left breast from behind, with her towel in each hand. (I don't recall that as being shown in season one.)
Episode 7.18 I believe, "Tony And Angela Get Divorced".

The remainder of the season one episode got almost as raunchy as some of the episodes of TWO AND A HALF MEN though... Angela was offended and aggravated that her new housekeeper saw her in the bath, (calling it "naked"), and at one point, opened the front door, and shouted out "Tony saw Angela naked." in a taunting voice. Unfortunately for Angela, Tony had a date coming to pick him up, and she was standing just outside the door as Angela opened it... The woman got the impression that Angela had ideas about Tony, and insulted Angela about shouting out the door, and said something I won't put here...
But, that actually got Tony off of Angela's "bad guy list" in the aftermath when the gentlemanly Tony came to Angela's defense against the woman, and sent her packing for her rude behavior.



In the movie FAR AND AWAY, (I believe), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were married in real life at the time. In a scene after he had a bare-knuckle prize fight, he was getting cleaned up, but either passed out drunk, or asleep, and the women had him naked on a bed, lying on his back with a very large bowl covering his crotch. Nicole comes into the room, and her character in the film is "interested" in him... she walks over to the bedside, and kneels, facing the bed and the camera, appearing to try to peek under the bowl. She cannot see under it, so she reaches over and carefully lifts her side of the bowl, and gets a bewildered but pleased smile on her face, then slowly lowers the bowl, and leaves the room, still smiling. Tom wanted a genuine reaction, and she was married to him then, but was expecting him to be wearing some sort of "modesty patch", and was surprised when she saw he was nude. The camera did NOT show what she saw under the bowl though. ("extras" section of the movie.)
No "approaching intimacy" there either, right?
Well, probably more than the similar WTB, because her character was deliberately looking...




At the end of episode 7.25 "The Road To Washington: Part 2"
Mona warns Angela that the senator's blonde, and well put together aide is probably stringing Tony along. Angela seems resigned to let Tony choose between them, even though they have never said they love each other, so Mona tells Angela to tell Tony how she feels about him, show him how she feels, and tell him how she feels again. After the aide essentially tells Tony they will never see each other again because the senator has flipped to support cutting Madical payments and Tony refuses to flip, Angela comes to see Tony. She tells him she likes him, then kisses him, then tells him again that she likes him (elementary school anyone?). Tony makes a joke about "show and tell" as Angela leaves the room and the episode ends.
Approaching...



The CW broadcast of WTB just earlier this (early) morning, I think episode 8.01, mentioned as the one when Angela bought Tony an expensive watch, as a Seventh Anniversary gift of them meeting, with the engraving "It's Time I Said I Love You". Tony gave her a ("kiss of death" practical gift) sheepskin car seat cover set. Angela delayed giving Tony her intimate gift while she was hurt by the "practical gift", expecting much more, lingerie at least. They end up in a carnival "Tunnel Of Love" ride as the carnival closes for the night, and apparently spend the night (intentionally) there, beginning with some substantial making out as the scene fades...
"Approaching intimacy"? I'd say so.
Well, *we* didn't see more than passionate making out, but more was certainly implied...

reply

Tony and Angela Kissing on a bench while in Jamaica and basically declaring that they want to be together in the futur. (In Search of Tony)

Tony and Angela making out in Tony's van at "Inpiration Point" after she made up a list of all the 'wild' things she wants to do. (A Walk on the Mild Side)

After declaring their love for each other (Finally! after 7 years) Tony and Angela find themselves making out in the Jaguar in front of a lake. What stopped them from going "all the way" was Angela hitting the stick shift with her leg and the car rolling into the water.

Just to name a few. ;)

I don't know if the tipsy episode is also the one where they had their first kiss, but I do remember their first kiss...they were in the kitchen and Tony was baking something and they started throwing flour at each other and somehow the flour fight turned into a kiss.

reply

I also remember another moment, I don't recall which episode, where Tony and Angela were discussing some incident that occurred where it was implied that they might have had sex but they didn't remember and I remember Tony saying to Angela "If something had happened between us, believe me, you would have remembered it." Angela replied "So would you." The looks they exchanged during this dialogue practically burned a hole in the TV screen.

reply

ooo what about the episode when angela sings "fever" in a club. Tony looked sooo flippin turned on!

reply

So true.
And, Angela was SO MUCH better than Rose McGowan doing that same number in the series CHARMED.

I'm sure it's an episode on the 8th season (if not mistaken) when they are in a tunnel of love at a funfair. I've just watched it on the Youtube. Type "who's the boss - tunnel of love". It's marvelous.

Bye...

reply

How about when they realized they were each other's first kiss at a camp when they were pre-teens??

Thought that was great!

reply

I liked that episode too! After visiting "kissing rock", Tony & Angela slept in a hotel room and ended up sharing a bed.

reply

At the very end of the episode "Mr. Micelli Builds His Dream House", Angela and Tony are discussing the cost of all the remodeling that they ended up doing to her bedroom. I think they are sitting in the floor against the wall in front of their new fireplace or something and he tells her to picture the possibilities, then he leans in close like to whisper in her ear and says "How about this..." the screen goes to black and a couple seconds later you hear her say "IT'S WORTH IT!" I'd say if Tony and Angela ever coulda went all the way, this would be a possible time, since it's the last actual episode before the three-part ending to the series. So maybe they did...?

reply

You're also forget when they kissed at summer camp, when Tony and Angela were 11 and 13 respectively.

I forgot the name of that ep, but it's the very first ep of s8...yeah, Angela had bought him the watch and had it engraved to let him know she was ready and willing to be serious with him. She ends up getting mad at him because his gift to her was more on the "friend" end...then he gets the "ah ha" moment via Mona and the kids and goes after her...they end of in the tunnel of love and he has to go through some things to get her to believe him when he says he loves her. That kiss in the end definitely sealed the deal.

Re: the scene in the Jag by the lake...that is the VERY next episode...Tony and Angela are still keeping their relationship on the hush hush...but ready to become intimate...every chance they get ends up being interrupted and that's how they end up at the lake ..VERY funny episode.

The First Kiss episode is the last one of the 1st season...It's Angela's birthday...her girls take her out and they end up drunk (except Fern Fitzgerald's character, as she was a doc on call and so was their DD). Tony, having gone to the Y to play ball, ends up helping out in a class about drunk driving and ends up drunk. Upon being driven home, Tony finds Angela, Wendy, and "Fern's character (why can't I remember her name?) on the floor laughing and giggling and snacking. The other ladies leave, after Tony finds out it was Ang's bday. He feels bad and decides to bake her a cake...they end up in the kitchen talking and it leads to a food fight with the flour which leads to "The Kiss". He feels bad about it (he is not as tipsy as she is obviously)...she passes out and he takes her upstairs and puts her to bed. The next morning she wakes up still dressed with her nightgown over her and thinks she and Tony had "relations"...with no help from Mona. And yeah...that ending with them both saying neither of them would forget it if that actually DID have sex...good lines.

This show had many sexual innuendos...how about the scene in the kitchen when Angela asks Tony, "You want to really feel like a man?" Tony says yes and Angela asks him to open up the jar of jelly she was having trouble with. He does and as the lid goes "POP"...Angela jumps a little and sucks on her bottom lip. And I THINK he asks, "Was it as good for you as it was for me?" or something like that. A Sexy scene without sex.

I remember that train scene, too! What I remember most is them laying next to each other & Tony compliments her perfume & Angela says she's not waring any & Tony says "You mean that's your natural scent???" It was a cute scene :).

I don't recall them bunking together on a train, but there is an episode where Jonathan went to Tony because he had a nightmare and Samantha went to Angela for the same reason. After they all fell back asleep, Angela woke up because Samantha had hogged all the covers. Instead of trying to wrestle them from the her, Angela went and crashed in Sam's room. With the boys, Jonathan woke up because Tony had started to snore loudly, so Jon poked Tony and told him Sam had said she'd had a nightmare too. Tony said something like "oh, ok" in a half awake state and went into Sam's room to comfort her. Needless to say, in the morning Angela and Tony woke to find each other instead of one of the two kids. It was funny.

reply

Haha, love that episode. Isn't that in the first season when Betty White quest stars?

Anyways, they have a whole bunch of intimacy moments. The one that's been mentioned before about the train is called "Road to Washington" I believe. It's great!

I just think their moments are so sweet! I love it when they dance together!

There is this other one when they're at a baseball convention and Tony makes Angela pose as his wife so that a past flame wouldn't mess with him anymore. I can't remember what it's called. Not a lot of intimacy in that one, but still great!

reply

The episode where they celebrate the 2nd anniversery. Tony tells her he loves her.

reply

What epasode was it that Angela went to a therapist to sort out her feelings for Tony? A woman from Tony's old neighborhood visited and flirted with Tony. Angela was jealous. The therapist asked directly. Do you love Tony? Angela answered,eyes brimming. He's my best friend. Yes, I love him.

reply

that's the ep called Tony and Frankie or somethign l ike that. Frankie is played by Kristen Alfonso who plays Hope on Days of Our Lives. That was a very poingnant scene for Angela. Very well acted by Judith.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the scene when Angela says, "You wanna feel like a man?" and she steps all close up to his face when she asks. Tony says, yeah and you think they're gonna get "sexy"...then she says, "Open this for me." And Tony takes the jar of jelly and they gaze into one another's eyes and then "POP!" He opns the lid and as he does Angela does a subtle jerk, sigh, and bites her bottom lip. Tony then asks, "Was it as good for you as it was for me?"

Sexy without having sex. Very Tracy and Hepburn.

I just saw one where Tony writes Angela (bad) poetry and then she kisses him on the cheek in appreciation. After that, Tony says footsie never did anything for him and Angela touches his foot with her foot to see if it will affect him. He says it doesn't but when she leaves the room, he douses himself with water.

reply

That was a good episode, but I have no idea which one... *sigh*

reply

I forget that episode also...but I pretty sure it was season 6.

Here's another one,

Season 7, when they get "divorced"...after telling the judge about why they want to get their "marriage" annuled (They don't want to be married because they signed in a hotel as Mr. and Mrs.)...FIRST...just them tralking about what they want for their weddings was romantic...but then after the judge signed the annulment paper...they KISSED a SEXY KISS!!! It was only a matter of time before the REAL declaration would happen.

@isisdawonder, I believe it's in that same scene where Tony starts to say "When I marry Angela" but cuts himself off. =) I love that episode (and kiss!)

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this moment: In the episode where they befriend that newly engaged couple (and the guy hits on Angela, girl hits on Tony), Angela takes Tony in her arms, dips him, and passionately kisses him to show him how the guy kissed her. =D

There's a line in a wonderful episode of Designing Women that always reminds me of Tony and Angela. Susan's ex-husband Dash says Charlene and her boyfriend Bill are having it even when they're not having it. So Tony and Angela... very little actually happens, but it doesn't have to.
