Worst TV Romantic Relationships

The majority of people commenting on this list need to know the meaning of 'opinion.'

And yes, that's my opinion.

In terms of the 'five shows' comments: TWENTY ONE SHOWS ON THIS LIST, PEOPLE.

General Reasons: The main reasons for most of these couples is poor execution by the showrunners. Either because many of the couples add nothing to the show plot, are just filler relationships which OBVIOUSLY won't last or negatively impact character development (e.g. the idea of Dexter and Deb - SO MESSED UP).

Another thing I classify as poor execution is romances which are draggggggggggged on. And it's more annoying the older the characters are. This is the case of Mark and Lexie for me. Maybe it's because I was never invested in their relationship, but like I said, I found the back and forth between them as a viewer tedious. If you would look at My Best TV Relationships, most of them have a form of stability. Hardly any on that list feature drawn out love triangles because I don't really like them.

But saying this and having Chuck and Blair on the 'best' list while Annie and Liam on the 'worst' list may make this contradictory, but the difference between them is Chuck and Blair was ALWAYS apparent even when with other people. And that wasn't the case with Annie and Liam. Plus, they committed to each other for good at the start of S6 (if it wasn't for that, they may have been in my worst. This is same case with Lucas & Peyton in One Tree Hill). But 90210's show execution was awful in general. Gossip Girl's wasn't as bad IMO, but I do think the whole promise to God storyline in season 5 was completely stupid.

Obviously I am prone to bias in my opinions. So, some of these may be because I preferred another relationship a character was in or it may just be that I don't like a character. Normally with bias it's both combined.

Connor & Cordelia (Angel) also need to be on here but couldn't find a picture.
