TV couples with zero chemistry

176 replies

Wasntmeanttobelikethis · 06/10/2023 20:30

watching Emmerdale and wondering why they put Jai and Laurel together as a couple; zero chemistry. Thinking of other TV couples with no spark or connection:
Eastenders: Denise and Jack
Corrie: Dev and Billy’s mum
Dev’s son and new older girlfriend

Any couples that leave you cold?

Im not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the outnumbered couple are actually together in real life...

Really? Wish someone had told me.

Rude!

I was saying she and Spike belonged together and had chemistry unlike her and Angel. Spike was the one who understood Buffy. appreciated her for exactly who she was.

Jack and Nikki in Silent Witless/ Shitness although that might be because Emilia Fix has forgotten how to act.

DH and I also call it Silent Shitness!

Michael and Sarah in prison break, just terrible together.

Yes I Initially thought you meant real live couples and was going to say Rochelle Humes (sp?) and her husband!

Penny and Leonard in Big BangTheory

Omg yes- awful couple.

Uthred and Aethelfled in The Last Kingdom

Amazed you think this. I thought they were fabulous together! Lucky girl 😍

Sheraprincessofflower · 06/10/2023 23:26

Otis and Marve in Sex Education. Great actors, great characters but I get zero chemistry from them and find them utterly unbelievable as a couple.

Monica and Chandler in Friends - the pairing gives me the absolute ick.

SundayCherry · 06/10/2023 23:54

Tommy and Grace in Peaky Blinders, I don’t think it helps that Cillian Murphy is an incredibly actor and Annabelle Wallis is a bit wooden!

I know the outnumbered couple are a couple in real life 😂 still think on screen they had zero about them!

I thought they were a great match!

ImMrsNesbitt · 06/10/2023 23:58

Dicaprio and Winslet in Titanic - there, said it.

The outnumbered parents!

But they got together in real life!

Agree with Daisy and Billy in Daisy and The Six, I don't feel like the actress has any real chemistry with anyone in that series.
Actually agree with Otis and Maeve in Sex Ed as well - it took so long for then to get together they'd almost spent too much time apart on screen?
Carrie and Aidan in SATC. I just don't see it?!?

Carrie and anyone, I can't stand her 😂.

Homer28 · 07/10/2023 10:57

Did anyone else watch revenge?
Emily and Jack had no chemistry even though the writers wanted them to be end game.
I thought it was made all the more obvious due to her chemistry with both Aidan and Daniel.

They were together irl for a couple of years during filming!

BridgetJonesAsFuck · 07/10/2023 11:21

Rodney and Cassandra in Only Fools. As IF she'd have gone there!

Servalan · 07/10/2023 14:48

Aziraphale and Crowley in Good Omens - wonderful friendship chemistry. Zero sexual chemistry. The whole realising too late that they're in love schtick from the last series gave me the rage because it just seemed so out of nowhere and tacked on.

John Torode and Lisa Faulkner. First time I saw that cooking show they do I was convinced somebody was going to be sacked for pairing those two wooden cooks who clearly hated each other and had zero chemistry…. Only to be told by DH that they were married!

This made me laugh because if you follow them on Instagram they are all over each other and how much they love each other

TiredOldLady · 07/10/2023 15:05

Daphne and donnie in Frasier

Lucy and Lee (Mack) in Not Going Out and all couples like that. 'Oh Lee, what are you like?!' [audience roars with laughter]

Yeah I know what you mean. There is a kind chemistry but it’s totally platonic. You just can’t imagine them ever having sex.

Penny and Leonard in Big BangTheory

Disagree but agree - they dated in real life.
