10 Fictional Couples Whose Audiences Expected To See With Another Romantic Partner

Many cinematographic works have a love story in their plots. And some fictional couples are so cool that they become iconic. However, it also happens that the audience sympathizes with a certain romantic couple, but the filmmakers decided on another. Or they adapted the romantic plot of a book without “chemistry” between the characters in love.

We, from awesome.clubwe found out in which films and series the audience wanted to see completely different fictional couples.

Fans of the series haven’t seen a “chemistry” between Daenerys and Jon Snow. But they realized that, in fact, the union was a marriage of convenience. Unfortunately, there was nothing resembling true love there.

According to viewers, the best partner for Daenerys would be Khal Drogo. The beginning of their relationship was not the most correct or beautiful, but over time they fell in love with each other. Daenerys went from a naive girl to a strong woman during her marriage to Drogo: her relationship with him made her self-confident.

The romantic pair Dan and Serena raised doubts for many. The relationship between these characters felt tense. Dan was in love with Serena from the start, but after getting to know her better, he was disappointed. And the girl felt guilty.

A completely different impression is given by the couple Dan and Blair. They went from hate to love, were on the same intellectual level and had common interests. Dan and Blair brought out the best sides of each other, understood and supported each other.

Many fans of books and films about Harry Potter are still wondering why the main character and his faithful friend did not become a couple. J.K. Rowling created a love affair between Hermione and Ron for, as she put it, “non-literary” reasons.

According to viewers, Harry and Hermione were equal characters, while Ron was a bit more fragile. It’s strange that such an intelligent heroine would choose a weaker hero as her companion. In addition, Harry and Hermione always looked out for each other and there were practically no disagreements between them, which could not be said about the pair Ron and Hermione.

Cameron and House’s story was shown unilaterally and most of the time we see the girl’s unrequited passion for her mentor. There were still some romantic scenes between the characters, but the story quickly faded. While House and Cuddy’s romantic line is dedicated to several seasons.

However, those few scenes between Cameron and House, according to the audience, were more vivid than all the scenes with Lisa Cuddy. Furthermore, Cameron was the opposite of the gruff House: she was sensitive, kind, and caring. These two could make up for each other’s flaws and create the ultimate romantic pairing.

The filmmakers did not show us the heroine’s romance with the werewolf. Throughout the movies, Bella has kept Jacob in the friend zone. But fans of this union believe that Jacob would be the best match for the girl. Unlike Edward, he didn’t control Bella, but he always cheered her up and taught her new things. And she wouldn’t have to change for Jacob either.

Furthermore, a relationship with the werewolf would make it possible for the heroine to grow as a person: they were more or less the same age and almost the same “human” way of life. And most importantly, he would allow Bella to be independent.

By the end of the series, Phoebe was single and obsessed with the idea of ​​having children. All of her previous romances had ended badly. Therefore, the scriptwriters literally at the last second “summoned” Coop for her, who was actually a mythical creature called Cupid.

The public considered the pairing of Phoebe and Coop forced, as if the girl received a “consolation prize” at the end of the series. But fans never forgot the legendary pairing of Phoebe and the demon Balthazar.

Cole, despite being pure evil, eventually tried to become good in order to be with Phoebe. Sadly, that didn’t happen as the actor who played Cole-Balthazar was forced to leave the series.

The series finale left many viewers baffled. Tracy, who ended up being the mother of the title, passed away, and Ted got back together with Robin. But many believe that Robin and Ted were united only by their mutual friends. Also, they saw things differently and weren’t really united.

Robin and Barney seemed much more compatible, but unfortunately, in the end, the writers broke up their marriage. However, Barney was Robin’s best boyfriend as he truly loved her. Plus, these characters have grown over the course of the series, they’ve worked through their flaws and survived setbacks together.

Kate, Jack and Sawyer were the main love triangle on Lost. Throughout the plot, the scriptwriters built a complex and tragic love story between Kate and Jack, sometimes diluting it with emotional scenes between the main character and Sawyer.

However, audiences liked the second couple, Sawyer and Kate, more. These characters had more in common, even their fates were similar. And the relationship with Kate changed Sawyer for the better: the former swindler for the first time began to show care for someone.

The main explanation for the connection between Elizabeth and Will was their childhood crush: they grew up together and were once in love with each other. But there is no trust in this couple, and it seems that the characters perceive their relationship differently.

Unlike Will, Jack understood Elizabeth perfectly and suited her in many ways. The girl was passionate about pirates and adventures, strove to be free and did not give anyone satisfaction. That was the freedom Jack could give the heroine. The temperamental pirate could have reciprocated her a lot more than Will.

Let’s look at how Rachel and Ross’ relationship developed. In high school, Ross had a crush on Rachel, and many years later, she suddenly reciprocates his feelings. We are not told how and why the feelings arose between them, but we are shown how toxic their relationship is. The two fought constantly, did not accept and did not respect each other.

Some viewers believed that Joey would make a better boyfriend for Rachel. Their relationship developed out of years of friendship, and Joey fell in love with a real girl, not some high school fantasy about her. Furthermore, he accepted her for who she was. Rachel and Joey had many common interests and spent time together easily and naturally, and their relationship could be called healthy.
