OH BROTHER!

‘The Brady Bunch’ Star Barry Williams Spills Details About Relationship with Maureen McCormick

The pair played step-siblings on screen but Barry Williams says off screen things got hot and heavy.

The Brady Bunch star Barry Williams divulged details about his “on-again, off-again” relationship with co-star Maureen McCormick on Tuesday’s re-run episode of Christopher Knight’s The Real Brady Bros podcast. The hosts recalled the 1973 “The Subject Was Noses,” episode in which McCormick’s character Marcia had her nose broken after being hit by a football thrown by Peter, played by Knight, leading a jock to cancel a date with her. Knight, 67, told Williams, 70, that he had observed a closeness between the two when they filmed the episode, “You two were looking a little bit close, a little bit less like brother and sister and more like…” Knight said. He explained that Williams, who played Greg, seemed “longing kind of wide-eyed” and McCormick “as looking dreamy” at the time. “You guys you were going through a good week, I would say,” he added. Williams explained, “It was sort of like on-again, off-again with Maureen and I throughout the years. There was always a little dance being played that was broken up by hiatus.” The actor added: “When she was pretending to have to be affectionate with other guys and going out on dates and stuff, I liked to just stay out of the way and let her do her job and focus on and concentrate until, you know, until an episode that called for us to be sitting next to one another.” That said, Williams admitted to purposely coming to the set anytime McCormick filmed a romantic scene with someone else.
