Logan/Veronica/Duncan [Veronica Mars]

Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars, Duncan and Lilly Kane were the best of friends, the fab four. Logan and Lilly had a dramatic on/off relationship, while Veronica and Duncan were the golden couple. At least until one day Duncan broke up with Veronica without a word and a few weeks later Lilly was murdered. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, everything escalated in the remaining teens’ lives and went to hell. Fast forward a year later and Veronica is now an outcast and it’s Logan and his posse that

thrive on making her life a living hell every day. The only difference is now Veronica gives as good as she gets. While Duncan is pretty much an unfeeling robot thanks to the anti-depressants his mother has him taking. Veronica still doesn’t know why Duncan broke up with her either.

Yet somewhere along the way after the headlight smashing with a crowbar, the bong planting in lockers, the insults and mockery, the ice between Logan and Veronica began to melt. They weren’t yet friends but they weren’t as harsh to each other as they used to be. Then Logan’s mother drove her car off a bridge and Logan turned to Veronica and wanted her to look into it for him – but to be clear as a job not a favour. Unfortunately for Logan, the answer wasn’t what he was looking for but it was Veronica, not his supposed best friend that was there to console him.

By then Logan and Veronica had somewhat of an understanding, and when Veronica was semi-kidnapped by an undercover FBI officer, Logan came to her rescue. She thanked him with a seemingly innocent kiss, which then turned into something more leaving the two teens confused. The memory of Lilly – Logan’s ex girlfriend and Veronica’s best friend – was the white elephant in the room. Not to mention, both weren’t sure how Duncan – Logan’s best friend and Veronica’s ex – was going to react. So as you do when you’re two hot blooded teens and hormones are raging, Logan and Veronica began sneaking around and testing where this thing between the two of them was going.

When you sneak around, you’re going to get caught – simple fact of life. And so Logan and Veronica’s relationship was displayed out in the open at Logan’s belated surprise birthday party. But after everything that had happened between these two over the past year, trust doesn’t come easy and misunderstandings happen. And when misunderstandings happen and you’re Veronica Mars, your first instinct is to run rather than confront. Amongst all this misunderstandings, it was then revealed that Logan’s father Hollywood actor Aaron Echolls was the one who murdered Lilly, because they were having an affair and Lilly threatened to reveal all.

With the misunderstandings behind them, Logan and Veronica tried again, just in time for the Summer. But then Logan was accused of murder and started behaving recklessly and so Veronica, not knowing how to deal with Logan anymore, broke up with him. It wasn’t soon after that she and Duncan got back together. So while Veronica and Duncan were trying to go back to their glory days, Logan continued to act out. He and Veronica also went back to their insults and snarking – although not as biting as they once were, but still hurtful nonetheless.

Logan’s life continued to be a circus as a result of his impending murder charges, and so he swallowed his pride and asked Veronica for her help. Never able to completely cut Logan out of her life, Veronica agreed. At the same she was helping Logan, it was then revealed that Duncan’s comatose ex-girlfriend Meg, was pregnant and Duncan had been hiding this from Veronica. When Meg suddenly died after giving birth to a baby girl, Duncan went on the run with his new daughter in order to protect her, but not before declaring his love for Veronica. Still in Neptune, eventually Veronica managed to clear Logan’s name and the murder charges were dropped. Logan and Veronica became friendlier in the process and at the school dance, it was evident that Logan and Veronica’s love story was far from over. With a few flirtations along the way, a drunken Logan poured his heart out to Veronica at the replacement prom he hosted. In typical Veronica fashion, she got nervous and ran off just as Logan was about to kiss her. But gathering her courage,

she returned to him the next morning confessing that although she wasn’t ready to jump back into a relationship with him, she still wanted him in her life. But alas, Veronica’s heart was broken when she realised Logan was too hungover to remember the night before and also had company. Oh ain’t epic love grand?

But it was at the post graduation party that Logan got his chance with Veronica again after he saved her on the rooftop of the Neptune Grande from a gun-weielding friend. He was there for when she thought her beloved father had been killed and the pair were soon back together and were able to enjoy a happy summer together that they never got the first time around. Season three saw Logan and Veronica continue their relationship into college, and seemed to be going well at first. But Veronica’s inability to completely trust Logan and let him all the way in saw him break up with her. Both were miserable during the Winter break and so Veronica gathered up her courage and knocked on Logan’s door and the two got back together once again.

They say that ignorance is bliss and this couldn’t have been more true in the case of Logan and Veronica. While they were apart, Logan drunkenly slept with Madison Sinclair, a former classmate who Veronica despised. Veronica found out and tearfully told Logan that this was something she could never get over and so they split up. After moping around in his hotel suite for awhile, Logan got his act back together and soon found happiness with Parker Lee, a friend of Veronica’s. Although she broke up with him and told him she was fine with it, Veronica couldn’t help but feel hurt and eventually started dating best friend Wallace’s roommate Piz, who had a crush on Veronica. But at the end of the day, no one can hold a candle to the epic relationship that is Logan and Veronica .Try as they might, they don’t work with anyone else, let alone in a normal relationship.

It took Logan defending Veronica’s honour yet again for their respective partners to realise this, and even themselves. After all, can you really compete with spanning years, ruined lives and bloodshed? Yeah, I didn’t think so!

Tim/Lyla/Jason [Friday Night Lights]

In the small town of Dillion, Texas, Jason Street was the star football player who had it all, with his beautiful cheerleader girlfriend Lyla Garrity by his side. On the other hand, his best friend Tim Riggins was all about living it easy and was content with playing football, drinking every other day, and being surrounded by beautiful girls – something that Lyla disapproved of. But it took one football game to change this little bubble. In one moment Street was down on the ground and became paralysed, unable to walk let alone play football ever again. Angry at the world, he pushed his devoted girlfriend away, while his best friend was too scared to visit him in hospital.

Chuck/Blair/Nate [Gossip Girl]

Nathaniel ‘Nate’ Archibald and Blair Cornelia Waldorf were the golden couple, destined to be a model society couple and marry. But appearances aren’t always what they seem. Sure Blair was head over heels in love with Nate, but he was too busy lusting after her best friend Serena Van Der Woodsen to appreciate her love for him. Then on the sidelines was Nate’s best friend, the devious and perverted Chuck Bass, who enjoyed watching the drama unfold and waiting for it to explode. Despite their differences – Blair was prim and proper, Chuck was lecherous and skeezy –

the two had a mutual respect for one another and actually managed to get along well together in spite of Chuck’s constant inappropriate innuendos. Blair and Chuck were even known for concocting schemes together. Perhaps we should have taken this somewhat friendliness as a sign, yet when these two got together, it was a major omg surprise!

Fed up with Nate lusting over Serena and not really caring about her, Blair dumped him and then went to Chuck as friend and an escape from her relationship dramas. Little did she know, that her relationship dramas were going to get a bit more complicated. Caught up in the moment and liberated at being able to be free to be herself, Blair and Chuck kissed and them some. The following morning, Blair was horrified at what she had done – after all this was Chuck Bass, the Upper East Side’s local lothario and ultimate womanizer, but while the lady doth protest too much, she kept coming back to him. Meanwhile Chuck was feeling a fluttering in his stomach – who would have thought Blair Waldorf of all people would give him butterflies and that he would fall for her?

It was never meant to be any heavy thing between Chuck and Blair – hence the sneaking around, but then Nate realised that he missed Blair and wanted her back and who was Blair to resist her Prince Charming, leaving poor Chuck Bass out in the cold. But no one messes with Chuck Bass and gets away with it! Blair blowing him off when she thought she was pregnant was the last straw for Chuck, and so in revenge he tipped off Gossip Girl that Nate wasn’t the only guy Princess Blair had been with. He may have left himself out of it, but Chuck’s plan backfired when Nate discovered that it was his very own best friend that was the other guy, and cut ties with both Chuck and Blair.

Now that everyone knew the truth, Blair was dethroned as Queen and even Chuck cruelly rejected her. But hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Blair schemed her way back to the top eventually. By the end of season one, she was back in the game and she and Chuck even got past their issues and reunited. But not for long, when the seemingly reformed womanizer got cold feet and broke Blair’s heart. Going into season two, Blair refused to let Chuck Bass break her heart again and found herself a new man, ignoring Chuck’s attempts to win her back.

Blair’s new relationship was never meant to last and soon it was back to Chuck and Blair playing their cat and mouse game, until a tender moment between the two made them question whether what they have was real and whether they were ready for it. In a rare vulnerable moment, they decided that the timing wasn’t right and that they had some growing up to do first. It seemed like maybe the timing was right at the school Winter Formal, but then came the news that Chuck’s father had been in an accident and thus it was never meant to be. Angry and confused, Chuck pushed everyone in his life away and started acting out, even after Blair confessed her love for him and told him that she would stand by him.

Even when you’re in love, there’s only so much that you can take and so after one too many incidents hurt her, Blair accepted defeat. It was this defeat that made Chuck realise just what exactly he had done, but it was too late – the damage had been done. From here on in, things seemed to get worse for Blair, and losing her lifelong dream of attending Yale University, saw that it was Blair’s turn to act out. In the end it was Nate, that got through to her and made her see the light, and it wasn’t before too long that

she and Nate decided to give their relationship another go. It was sweet while it lasted but it just wasn’t meant to be. By then, Blair realised that it was now Chuck not Nate who truly had her heart. Chuck tried to push Blair away to protect her, but soon realised that he was doing more harm than good and so in the season two finale he wooed Blair back. In my mind, this is where the Gossip Girl story ends because season three jumped the shark and totally discredited the former glory of this show.
