(Warning: Spoilers ahead.)
In The Gilded Age, if there is intimacy beyond tentatively touching, it is safe to assume the couple is married, or one of them is Larry Russell (Harry Richardson). There is no one hornier in the 1880s setting than the son of Bertha (Carrie Coon) and George Russell (Morgan Spector), who is keeping the physical fires burning in the HBO historical drama.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because, while the Russells have separate bedchambers, they have previously shown they only have eyes for each other. George didn’t fall for the naked antics of lady’s maid-turned-lady Turner (Kelley Curran), and there is still heat between the married couple, even if Bertha’s current project to marry off their daughter to a duke could be a future libido killer.
