Obsession Viewers Can’t Get Over *That* Wild Pillow Scene: ‘I Have No Words’

Warning! This article contains mild spoilers for Netflix’s Obsession.

Obsession viewers have been left lost for words over a wild scene involving a hotel pillow in Netflix’s raunchy drama.

The four-part series tells the story of a surgeon who embarks upon a sex-fuelled affair with his son’s girlfriend, as the pair grow increasingly infatuated with one another.

Despite the show only debuting on Thursday, one scene in particular has already sparked much conversation online.

It sees William Farrow follow his lover Anna Barton to Paris, where she is on a mini break with his son Jay.

After meeting up with Anna for sex in a back alley, William later checks into the same hotel room where Anna and Jay had been staying, where he turns carnal and hunts for her scent.

Intensely sniffing a hotel cushion, William then begins a solo sex act, which left viewers not knowing what to make of it all..

Richard Armitage, who plays William, revealed that actually the scene was originally meant to play out differently, and some of what made it in the edit was improvised.

In an interview with Metro, he said: “It was really unexpected because it was written as quite a different scene.

“There was a tissue with her imprint of her lipstick on which we didn’t feel necessarily worked.

“I was really conscious that it shouldn’t be in any way comedic so we sort of left it quite open and it was a bit of an improvisation actually.”

He continued: “Charlie [Murphy, who plays Anna] had – without me knowing – sprayed her scent that she’d been wearing throughout the shoot into different parts of the bed and I just got the sense of it, and that’s where the scene just opened.

“But the recording it wasn’t too planned, actually.”

Obsession is available to stream on Netflix now.

Netflix Announces Cast For New Drama Based On Prince Andrew’s Newsnight Interview

The cast has been announced for Scoop, Netflix’s new film based around Prince Andrew’s infamous interview on Newsnight back in 2019.

Over the summer, it was revealed that Newsnight producer Sam McAlister’s book – which went into detail about what went on behind the scenes to secure the interview – was being adapted for the big screen.

It’s now been revealed that Rufus Sewell, whose credits include Victoria, The Man In The High Castle and The Holiday will portray the Duke of York in the drama.

Meanwhile, Gillian Anderson will play former BBC journalist Emily Maitlis.

Gillian is best known for her roles in the TV series The X-Files, The Fall and Sex Education.

In 2021, she also won an Emmy for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in the fourth season of The Crown.

Billie Piper and Keeley Hawes will also make appearances as Sam McAlister herself and Prince Andrew’s former private secretary Amanda Thirsk, respectively.

Netflix has said Scoop will give viewers the “inside track” on how Prince Andrew first came to be grilled by presenter Emily Maitlis over his relationship with billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The streaming giant added that it will look at “navigating Palace vetoes, to breaking through to Prince Andrew’s inner circle, the high-stakes negotiations and intensity of rehearsal – to the jaw-dropping interview itself”.

The Crown producer Philip Martin, who directs Scoop, said: “Uptempo, immersive and cinematic, I want to put the audience inside the breathtaking sequence of events that led to the interview with Prince Andrew – to tell a story about a search for answers, in a world of speculation and varying recollections.

“It’s a film about power, privilege and differing perspectives and how – whether in glittering palaces or hi-tech newsrooms – we judge what’s true.”

Following the interview in November 2019, and the furore over his friendship with Epstein, the Duke stepped away from public life.

The interview was recently sent up in the Channel 4 special Prince Andrew: The Musical, which aired over Christmas.

In her newly-released Netflix documentary, Pamela Anderson reflects on her life and career in what she’s said is her attempt to “set the record straight”.

And at the doc’s red carpet premiere on Monday night, she was obviously still feeling the nostalgia.

Pamela was seen attending the event in a bright red gown that appeared to pay tribute to her most iconic look.

The bright colour and round neck of Pammy’s outfit put many in mind of the swimsuit she wore in Baywatch, the TV series that shot her to fame in the 1990s.

Alongside her at the documentary’s premiere were her two sons Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger, whose father is Motley Crue musician, and Pamela’s ex-husband, Tommy Lee.

Brandon and Dylan feature heavily in their mum’s new documentary, Pamela, A Love Story, with reports claiming it was their idea that she tell her own story in the film.

The doc is now streaming on Netflix, debuting almost a year to the day after Pam & Tommy – the miniseries in which Lily James portrayed the Baywatch icon – first aired.

The show centred around Pamela’s marriage to Tommy Lee, and the theft of their private sex tape in the late 90s.

While Pam & Tommy received a largely positive reaction, including Emmy nominations for cast members Lily James, Sebastian Stan and Seth Rogen, it was made without the input or approval of the woman who inspired it.

Last week, Pamela branded the team behind Pam & Tommy “assholes” for going ahead without her consent, although she made it clear she had no beef with Lily James.
