I personally don't actually read much into how close characters are standing to each other unless it's set up intentionally, eg A walks up to B and delibrately stands too close.
On stage I've sung romantic duets from opposite sides of the stage, hidden from other characters in plain view, it's all to do with presentation and the audience than realism and I assume it's the same for TV. With the camera angles and everything I don't think standing a realistic distance apart usually works.
Not that I mean to be negative about it, I just don't want people to get too over-excited about what is pretty much a TV practicality.
