We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which TV couples felt super forced. Here are some of their responses.
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
1.
Rachel and Joey from Friends:

NBC
“It was so random and felt like the writers just ran out of ideas. They were great as friends.”
2.
Izzie and George from Grey’s Anatomy:

ABC
“They made absolutely no sense. Nothing came out of the relationship except their ruined friendship.”
3.
Zack and Lane from Gilmore Girls:
The WB
“The actors had no chemistry at all, and everything about them seemed forced. The show did Lane dirty.”
4.
Robin and Ted from How I Met Your Mother:
CBS
“They were romantically incompatible, yet they were forced together time and time again over nine seasons. There was a very good reason people hated the finale.”
5.
Otis and Ola from Sex Education:
Netflix
“I didn’t really get the vibe that they liked each other. It felt like there was very little chemistry.”
6.
Fez and Jackie from That ’70s Show:
Fox
“They had no chemistry. Jackie wasn’t interested in Fez romantically for the entire series, then just suddenly changed her mind in the end. She and Hyde should have ended up together instead.”
7.
Maggie and Jackson from Grey’s Anatomy:
ABC
“They had absolutely no chemistry. Everything about them felt so forced and wrong. Somehow, the whole messy stepsiblings storyline wasn’t even the most uncomfortable and problematic thing about their relationship.”
8.
Daenerys and Jon from Game of Thrones:
HBO
“I know they got together for thematic reasons, but the actors had absolutely no onscreen chemistry. I also found it laughably unbelievable that Jon would fall for a power-hungry tyrant who enjoyed watching people burn alive, especially since he risked his own life to prevent Mance from meeting that fate.”
9.
Silver and Liam from 90210:
The CW
“Their relationship literally came out of nowhere. They had zero chemistry with each other.”
10.
Rachel and Ross from Friends:
NBC
“I know they were supposed to be ‘meant to be,’ but their relationship never seemed natural to me. They had the best chemistry as friends.”
11.
Tristan and Miles from Degrassi: Next Class:
Netflix
“I feel like everyone overlooked how toxic their relationship was. Once Tristan was in a coma, the show suddenly acted as if the two had always been really close, even though they’d never shown it before. It was super forced.”
12.
Mercedes and Sam from Glee:
Fox
“I did love the idea of them and wanted to see them end up together, but the way they first got together felt forced.”
13.
Spencer and Caleb from Pretty Little Liars:
Freeform
“Spencer got mad at Hanna for not being honest about still having feelings for Caleb, but Spencer never should have dated Caleb in the first place.”
14.
Bellamy and Echo from The 100:
The CW
“I wasn’t even a Bellarke shipper, but I was pretty pissed when Bellamy and Echo were suddenly magically together and ‘devoted to each other’ because of six years in space. Realistically, Bellamy would not have forgiven Echo for almost murdering his sister twice.”
16.
Spinner and Emma from Degrassi: The Next Generation:
CTV
“They tried to wrap up the characters’ storylines by randomly having them get married. It just made no sense to me.”
17.
Dan and Blair from Gossip Girl:
The CW
“I know some people love Dan and Blair’s relationship, but I hate them together. They were complete opposites and hated each other, then they went to the same college and suddenly had feelings for each other? Not buying it!”
18.
Scott and Malia from Teen Wolf:
MTV
“Their relationship made no sense. They worked better as friends — seeing them as a couple felt so forced. It’s been years and I’m still not over it.”
19.
Dylan and Haley from Modern Family:
ABC
“Don’t get me wrong, they’re cute, but it felt so wrong for them to end up together after they had both changed so much. It felt forced and cliché for the writers to have Haley’s high school boyfriend be her ‘soulmate’ all along.”
20.
Anna and Seth from The O.C.:
Fox
“I loved both characters, but I hated Seth and Anna together. I know they broke up because Seth loved Summer, but the two of them being together in the first place seemed like such a silly ploy.”
21.
Veronica and Piz from Veronica Mars:
Warner Bros. / Everett Collection
“Their relationship felt like it was only manufactured as a way to keep the drama between Logan and Veronica going. Veronica never showed any interest in Piz until it was convenient to the plot.”
22.
Stefan and Caroline from The Vampire Diaries:
The CW
“It was as if the characters only got together because they were the only two single people left on the show.”
23.
Joey and Dawson from Dawson’s Creek:
Warner Bros. / Everett Collection
“They always seemed like brother and sister. After we saw the chemistry between Joey and Pacey, Dawson and Joey just felt forced.”
24.
Lola and Saad from Degrassi: Next Class:
Netflix
“It felt like they were trying to re-create the dynamic from Miles and Lola’s relationship, but it was really just Lola supporting Saad, not going both ways. Their romance just seems a little forced now, since we don’t really know what a real relationship between them would have been like in the long run. They were cute as friends, but the last thing Saad needed at the time was a romance.”

25.
Donna and Randy from That ’70s Show:
Fox
“Their relationship was awful, and Randy’s character was a terrible addition to the show.”
26.
Xander and Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
The WB
“The only time they had chemistry was when they were vampires.”
27.
And finally, Ann and Tom from Parks and Recreation:
NBC
“Do I really need to explain?”
Reminder that I, Kelly Martinez, do not necessarily endorse these submissions! I personally like Dan and Blair together.
