The world of TV shows is also amazing! We the audience get attached to the characters, happy in their happiness and sad in their sorrow. And when it comes to their favorite couples, fans always pick one of their own. But many times it happens that the couple whom we want to see together gets separated from each other at the end of the story, and seeing this breaks the hearts of millions of viewers. When the chemistry between the characters is so strong and palpable, their separation feels even worse. Let’s take a look at some such science-fiction and fantasy couples from the world of TV, whose incomplete love stories are still alive in the hearts of fans.
Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan (Smallville)
The future Superman, Clark Kent had many love stories in his life, and we all know that he was ultimately destined to be with Lois Lane. But Chloe Sullivan was in love with Clark since the show’s early days. She was not only his friend, but also his biggest secret. Chloe always supported Clark, but Clark never saw their love in the same light. Their relationship was a beautiful example of friendship, but fans always felt that there could have been something more than just friendship between them.
Henry Mills and Drizella (Once Upon a Time)
The “and they lived happily ever after” thing is true in fairy tales, but here the story was a little different. Henry was destined to be with Cinderella, but Drizella was the “bad girl” Henry needed. There was a different kind of attraction between the two. Although it’s hard to say whether their relationship would have lasted given Drizella’s past, their chemistry left viewers wondering what might have happened had they been together.
Alison Argent and Scott McCall (Teen Wolf)
It was the classic story of Romeo and Juliet in a fantasy world. The story of families tearing apart two lovers is common, but here the matter was even more complicated. Alison was from a werewolf hunter family and Scott was a werewolf himself. It was an unlikely pairing, but the love between them was true. Although Alison eventually distanced herself from the relationship, fans always hoped that they might get back together in the future.
Malcolm ‘Mal’ Reynolds and Inara Serra (Firefly)
The show ‘Firefly’ was shut down too early, causing the couple’s story to stagnate in time. There was a history between Captain Mael and Companion Inara and an attraction that they both fought against. Their love-hate relationship was loved by the audience. Everything that is known about their past points towards them being together in the future, but this never came to fruition on screen. Their romance was mentioned in later comics, which was a ray of hope for fans.
Eric Northman and Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood)
There was always tension between Eric and Bill over Sookie, and choosing between two evils was a challenge. Sookie ultimately decided to reject both, which was probably right. But we can’t deny that the relationship between Eric and Sookie was very deep and caring. The chemistry between them gave a different life to the show.
Buffy Summers and Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
A true “bad boy” vampire and a famous vampire slayer—this was a match perhaps made in heaven. Their story started with enmity and gradually turned into an on-off relationship. Angel might have seemed like a perfect match for Buffy, but her relationship with Spike made the story unpredictable and exciting. Their chemistry provided some of the most memorable moments of the show.
These are some such couples, who may not have been together forever on screen, but they remained forever in the hearts of the audience. Fans are still keeping his stories alive today through fan-fiction and videos. Perhaps this is the success of these characters that their incomplete love stories became as memorable as the completed ones.
