Psych co-stars Lawson and Roday turned their on-screen fling into a real-life romance. Sadly, their togetherness couldn't go longer than 7 years, coinciding with the show run (2006 to 2014).

They Met On The Sets Of Psych

The former couple first met on the sets of the comedy series Psych, where they appeared as love interests. They started dating in the same year, 2006.

Interestingly, Lawson was not in the pilot. The team had her character played by Annie Dudek, who was in the pilot. They were having an affair at the time.

Roday explained, "for reasons that go on when doing television, television pilots, we ended up replacing the character with a completely different direction." That's where Lawson came in.

Meantime, the actress was attached to another show called "Crumbs." Luckily, as the production team decided not to do anything with Crumbs, Lawson took the role of Juliet in Psych.

Their 2011 appearance in Kevin Pollak's Chat Show

In May 2011, James and Maggie appeared in Season 2 Episode 3 of Kevin Pollak's Chat Show. 

Appearing in the show, the pair talked about their struggles in the industry as young actors and how they ultimately met on their hit show Psych. They also shared their experience in filming the series in Canada.

Roday recalled having no issues with moving to Canada. He said, "I had gone disenchanted from my time in Los Angeles." He was on the cusp of returning to New York when he got this offer -a perfect timing.

The actress said she had spent very little time in Vancouver previously. She remembers calling her agent at the beginning of the pilot and saying she was more interested in shooting somewhere out of LA.

They tried to keep their romance low-key

The pair further shared that they chose to keep a low profile in the chat show. Roday admitted, "I think this is the first time we even appeared together in a form such as this one."

He shared there were people on their crew who were like, "I didn't know you guys were together," even after four seasons. The actress added, "we try to keep as much as we can."

Yet the couple attended various events together from time to time.
