How Elizabeth Shue Really Felt About Ali And Johnny's Cobra Kai Scene

Although Johnny's decision to stop short of kissing Ali as the two sat on a bench at one of their old haunts represented an important development for his character, Elizabeth Shue apparently had other ideas about how the scene should have played out.

"Yeah, I would have been up for a kiss. Are you kidding me? I'm bummed!" she said during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "They could have had a kiss! I think it was in deference to wanting Johnny to feel that he could go back to his relationship [with Carmen], which meant so much to him, without feeling that he had anything to feel conflicted about. I'm sure that was the reason."

Barring that, though, Shue would have wasted little time in giving Johnny and Ali their big moment.

"I would've gone right in there and gotten a great one."

Clearly, Johnny and Ali were in a similar headspace. If the latter hadn't received a text message just as the two had locked eyes and were moving in for an intimate moment, who knows what additional sparks might have flown.
