Best and worse fictional couples?

[FuckingHell123]

Best:

Friends Monica and Richard. I know it's controversial because he knew her as a child but I LOVE him. Stable, wise, funny and non dramatic. He was so much better for her than man baby Chandler.

Notting Hill Anna and Will. Such a lovely, happy ending.

Titanic Jack and Rose. He brought out her fun side and she fulfilled him... there was room on that floating door though! Should have tried harder.

Worst:

ER Doug and Carol. She takes an overdose because of him treating her like shit, they still keep up the on again off again bollocks. She ends up raising two kids alone then randomly turns up in Seattle and they live happily ever after? Nah. A more believable version would be turning up in Seattle to find him shagging someone else.

OFAH Rodney and Cassandra. She turned him into a snob who looked down on his own family, he was funnier when he was young and dippy. Also an ambitious bank manager with wealthy parents marrying someone who flogs knocked off tat from a suitcase? I doubt it.

Grease Danny and Sandy. The whole thing. Change your appearance and personality to suit someone else... then you'll get your man 👍🤔

This this this

You saved me typing that very argument 😁

Another vote for Allison and Joe from Medium. They were just so normal, the only couple who regularly fill the dishwasher and change the bedding.

Best- June and John Dory (FearTWD), Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter (TFA)

Worst- Steve and Sharon (whichever Marvel movie that happened in)

Many of mine have been mentioned, particularly David and Patrick from Schitts creek. Less keen on Alexis and Ted.

I’ll add Joel and Sheila from Santa Clarita Diet as best, also from Brooklyn 99 Holt and Kevin.

Wasn't keen on any of Joey’s relationships in Friends, especially Rachel (why?!) and Charlie. Also can’t stand Joker/Harley Quinn, it gets glamorised and it’s dysfunctional.

It is true that Danny tried to change for Sandy, but you’re left with this really sour taste in your mouth, because Sandy is lovely just as she is, and she does completely change for him.

Just because he tried to change first, doesn’t make her awful transformation any better.

I disagree. She and David were both quirky together, Mike would want her to be normal after the honeymoon phase.

But he didn't. He changed for her too.

Best:
Joyce and Hopper from Stranger Things
Charlie and Duffy from Casualty
Amy and Sheldon from TBBT
Riker and Troi in Picard
Laszlo and Nadja from WWDITS
Sol and Robert from Grace and Frankie

Worst:
Bernadette and Howard in TBBT

Best - Johnny and Moira Rose (Schitts Creek) and Howard and Hilda (Ever Decreasing Circles)
Worst - Tom and Barbara Good (The Good Life) and Raymond and Deborah (Everybody Loves Raymond)

Joyce and Hopper from Stranger Things

Noooo. Bob forever!

The idea of her working in France without one word a French was absolutely laughable. It would've made much more sense if she was coming to London.

Ally McBeal and Larry Paul (Robert Downey Junior) - great chemistry.

Joey and Pacey, of course "I remember everything."

Lorelei and Luke - when she sang "I will always love you" at karaoke ❤

Katie and Hubble in The Way we Were.

@AssumingDirectControl ahhhhhh Bob was excellent wasn’t he? But Hopper…………..❤️

Worst;
Leonard and Penny in BBT, I never saw any chemistry, she treated him like a pet.
Rory and Logan - she was weak and he was arrogant. In the reboot he was engaged (I think) and she was still seeing him. Rory as an adult really disappointed me.

Best;
Adam and Karen in Cold Feet - I didn't expect to like them together but I did.

Best -
Robin and Barney - How I met your mother (much better suited than Ted)
Sheldon & Amy - BBT
All the couples in Schitts Creek except Alexis and Ted / the other guy who got written out of it whose name I can't recall
I don't even actually think Rachel & Joey were the worse couple - at least he seemed to like her and not want to control her (I know controversial :)

Wo

Best: Roy and Hayley - Coronation Street

What a treat to find Jean Paget and Joe Harmon here. Ah, lovely book.

Best : Chuck and Sarah in Chuck. I'm still not over that ending.

Worst: Agree with so many already posted, but adding an honourable mention for Emma and Mr Knightly because I always find the paternalism just a bit too ick, despite my continuing love for Jane Austen in general

The Rachel and Joey thing was ridiculous, she just wouldn't have gone there! Worst storyline of the entire (brilliant) show.

How did I forget about Morticia and Gomez? They're so in love with each other.

Worst: just about every Charles Dickens hero and the dreadful, insipid Mary Sues they get married off to in the end. You can tell Dickens had a big problem with women even by the standards of the time. Great Expectations is the big exception, all the better for resisting the lure of the happy ending.

Can’t think of a best coupling at the moment, but I’d love to read a retelling of Mansfield Park with Julia Bertram’s elopement as its main focus. I think she’d be a very interesting character to explore.

Best Jean and Lionel from As Time Goes By.

Best and worst depending on which series you were watching:
Maddie and David from Moonlighting.

Am I the only one who liked Bella & Edward?! She was obsessed with him & dumped her friends for him, true, but he was obsessed with her too! He'd never wanted a humans blood more & even managed to snog her (& more!) 'coz that's how much he loved her!
