Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus recently spoke with Scott Feinberg from The Hollywood Reporter on his podcast, Awards Chatter. During the conversation, they spoke about the 1991 episode of Seinfeld that caused a major argument on set.
The episode, titled “The Deal,” was the fourteenth episode in the series, which took place during the second season. It was about Elaine and Jerry becoming friends with benefits. The episode earned the co-creator of the series, Larry David, a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
When speaking about the episode, Louis-Dreyfus said, “There was a big fat argument on set about that because Jerry and Elaine sleep together in that episode and they sort of make a deal about it. There was tension between creatives—actually, it was Castle Rock and Larry—about whether or not to turn this into a will they, won’t they? Larry was livid. He did not want anything to do with the idea of romance, the cute, the sexy.”

It has been reported that the NBC executives pressured the writing staff to make Jerry and Elaine get back together. However, David was against the idea. As explained by writer Jeremy Smith, "When NBC executive Warren Littlefield began leaning on David to make Jerry and Elaine a classic sitcom couple, the headstrong writer flatly refused. He loved the duo's unusually fun and not-too-flirty platonic relationship, and didn't want to sacrifice what made the show special.”
During her podcast appearance, Louis-Dreyfus also spoke about how she handled the end of the iconic show, which ran from 1989 until 1998. “I was pretty grief-stricken," she said. "When you’ve given your life and your brain and your heart to a project for a long period of time, to say goodbye to it, even if the timing is right to say goodbye, which it was, there’s a deep sadness and loss.”

She continued, “I’ve actually felt it with any long-term project that I’ve happily worked on. But I was also a young mother at the time. I had a 5-year-old and a 10-month-old. And so it was a real big juggling act making the show and having these babies at the same time and as any working outside the house mother knows. And so I was eager to just get home.”
