A will-they-or-won’t-they dynamic can lead to some of the best drama and chemistry in television, but some TV show couples that seemed perfect for each other frustratingly never got together. Romance in television is often complicated, as a steady relationship doesn’t always work to build entertainment in the same way as flirting and tension do. Oftentimes, characters won’t end up with their happily-ever-after partner until the end of the series. In many shows, an end-game romantic partnership is even determined for characters earlier on in the show, which can lead to some very unnatural conclusions for relationships or potential romances leading up to that point.
