Let’s be honest, most of us get way more emotional about fictional characters than we do people we know in real life. We obsess over them! Therefore, I have compiled a list of television show characters that everyone wishes would be together in real life.
1. Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo from Grey’s AnatomyNo one belongs together more than Dr. McDreamy and one half of the dark and twisty sisters. Meredith and Derek’s love is so strong that a simple post it note is all it took to make their marriage official to them. Sadly, the two are not married in real life, but they will always be a couple in our hearts.
2. James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Lenz from One Tree Hill
Everyone watched as Nayley fell in love, got married (in high school I might add), and had their precious children Jamie and Lydia. They both care about each other so much that each is willing to give up their dream to see the other go after theirs. With Nathan being a professional basketball player and Hayley being a rockstar, the two are unstoppable. The only thing that would make their love story better is if the two were a couple off screen.
3. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer from Friends
I don’t care who you are, if you have ever watched even an episode of Friends, then you probably pulled for Rachel and Ross to be together. I mean, come on! She got off the plane for him. Their relationship was not love at first sight, but it was beautiful. The least these two actors can do for their fan base is to get together in real life. Let’s just hope that these love birds are just “on a break” from one another. Fingers crossed.
4. Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl
Chuck and Blair go together like diamonds and bow ties. This power couple started out loathing one another. The witty banter between them was adorable! Eventually, though, they figured out that the reason they butt heads so much is because they are so alike. Both of these diabolical characters stole our hearts when they finally admitted their love for each other and got married in season six! In real life, Leighton and Ed are best friends, so who knows, they could still end up together!
5. Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries
We waited what seems like FOREVER for Elena to realize that she was in love with the darker brother, Damon. Don’t get me wrong, everybody loves Stefan, we just don’t want him to be with her. Delena might be dysfunctional and wrong in so many ways, but the passion between these two characters can not be found anywhere else. Although the couple did date in real life for about two years, they have recently parted ways. Hopefully for our sake, they will find their way back to each other again.
