NEW YORK, May 5 (UPI) -- Sons of Anarchy, American Primeval and The Walking Dead: Dead City alum Kim Coates says he and Alyson Hannigan came up with a back story about why their Solo Mio characters would re-marry after divorcing twice.

"We called each other when we both got cast and we said: 'OK, so, this is our third honeymoon to the same person. So, what's going on?" Coates, 68, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview about his screen spouse, who is best known for her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, American Pie and How I Met Your Mother.

"And Alyson said: 'Money. I love you for your money.' I said: 'That's great. Okay, that's a good start. So, where do we hang out?' And I went, 'Vegas.' She goes, 'Perfect.' So, we came up with this incredible, bling money, got it from my dad. I love drinking. She loves fun, but then we fight all the time. It was the perfect way to start the film."
