When Writers Destroyed Perfect Couples, And Fans Never Forgave Them (5 of 6)

Stiles & Lydia — Teen Wolf

From a one-sided crush to best friends to an endgame kiss, this couple was on the right track. Then Season 6 keeps them apart, and the follow-up movie casually announces they broke up offscreen. Hello? Writers? Imagine spending years cooking a perfect dish, only to serve this charred mess. We didn’t need fireworks, just a few scenes that let the relationship develop.

Nick & Jess — New Girl

Nick and Jess had the best oddball chemistry the TV has seen. Then a rushed final season came along. The season 6 elevator kiss was a perfect series ending, to be frank. It was earnest, imperfect, and a bit goofy—exactly like them. More episodes aren’t always more story; sometimes they’re just extra packaging. They still get married at least, but it felt dry and contractual in nature.
