A romance between to television, film and theatre actors or realty stars who play the role of the others
romantic interests in a television series, play or film (see; reality television). This typically occurs when two actors share one or more scripted "love" scenes or on-screen kisses.
Showmances do, however, develop between two co-stars
playing roles in which they are in no way romantically linked, however due to long hours on set and often odd or isolated locales, a couple may develop some sort of
relationship to bide their time or otherwise entertain themselves.
An actor or actress may mistake scripted passion or chemistry on screen, for a real life romance off-set. Showmances typically end after the filming has ended.
