So many of these lists exist on the great wide web, but I always notice similar trends. They always include the same couples; Haley and Nathan Scott, and Cory and Topanga are ultimate #relationshipsgoals, and Chuck and Blair are the eighth wonder of the world. That's great and all, but what about the others? There are so many cool and well-crafted TV couples that make hearts swell and envy run rampant. So, I created my own list. I traveled deep into the dark abyss that is television land to uncover my totally perfect, completely amazing teenage TV couples list.
1. Tate Langdon and Violet Harmon ("American Horror Story").
Pretty and emotionally unstable girl meets handsome and emotionally unstable dead boy. What could go wrong? I love this couple so much I ship the actors together in real life.
2. Sebastian Kydd and Carrie Bradshaw ("The Carrie Diaries").
The hair, the clothes, the Austin Butler-ness, how can anyone not be Team Kydd+Bradshaw? Their heart wrenching ending ripped me to pieces and the cancellation of show means no closure ever.
3. Harvey Kinkle and Sabrina Spellman ("Sabrina the Teenage Witch").
The classic best friend-turned-boyfriend story is always gold. Toss in the '90s outfits, crazy aunts, and witchcraft and you've got TV magic (pun intended). It didn't hurt that the series ended with them riding off on a motorcycle together #classic.
4. Declan Coyne and Holly J. Sinclair ("Degrassi: The Next Generation").
Out of every crazy Degrassi couple these two will forever be my favorite. His eyebrows matched perfectly with her hair. It was a match made in TV heaven to me.
5. Steve Hale and D.J. Tanner ("Full House").
Forget Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky, D.J. and Steve were the ones who truly ruled the San Francisco area. Their scene on Eagle Mountain is forever engraved in my mind as a turning point in my childhood.
6. Mason Greyback and Alex Russo ("Wizards of Waverly Place").
Baby Selena Gomez falling for a British werewolf equals happiness. Same guy getting permanently turned into a wolf and walking into the woods leaving Alex all alone equals sadness. That's too much emotion for a kid watching Disney Channel. No worries though, he came back and all was well in the Waverly Sub Shop.
7. Ricky Underwood and Amy Juergens ("Secret Life of the American Teenager").
My love for Shailene Woodley began with this show. Ricky was the world's biggest jerk with closets full of skeletons. Amy was the girl-next-door (literally at times). When they finally got together and lived above the meat shop all was right in my world, until they realized they didn't want that anymore (insert heart thrown on table and ripped to shreds by meat grinder downstairs).
8. Beck Oliver and Jade West ("Victorious").
Both are unnaturally beautiful and talented for high school students, but so much fun to watch interact. I wished to be them. Both of them. At the same time.
9. Riley Wallace and Annie Wilson ("90210").
Out of every oddly matched couple on the show, this pairing actually spoke to my soul. They were mature and grounded and way too perfect, so naturally something terrible happens. I still hold resentment toward television in general for what happened to Riley.
10. Jake Behari and Addie Singer ("Unfabulous").
My sixth grade self was completely unaware with how mature their relationship was. Hanging out in Addie's bedroom, hosting couples game nights, and going to Chinatown to hunt Jake down; all a little too fabulous for only being 13.
11. Jess Mariano and Rory Gilmore ("Gilmore Girls").
Bad boy meets good girl is always a fan favorite. Forget Dean and Logan, everyone knows that Jess is Rory's true love, AND they dated in real life while working on the show (heart eyes for days).
