“Their chemistry was incredible and they would’ve made a really cute couple. I love their friendship, and I’m not mad or bitter about it not developing into something more, but I would’ve loved if it had blossomed into a romantic relationship.”

“It never happened and I’m still mad.”

“They were completely inseparable during the entirety of the show, there’s a prophecy from a dragon that calls them ‘two sides of the same coin,’ and in the end, Arthur asks Merlin to hold him before dying in his arms.”

“After Derek died, I was kind of expecting Meredith and Alex to end up together (even though I do love Jo). They’d been through so much together and both had difficult childhoods, but they somehow managed to find a balance and trust one another.”

—sofiano

“Their chemistry was off the charts and the respect they had for each other was palpable. They even had relationship-like issues that they worked through during the show. The real crime on that show is them not ending up together.”

—sksouthwick

“They’re always looking out for each other. Plus, their personalities mesh so well together. They were friends since childhood and seeing that friendship turn into a romance would have been fantastic.”

“The chemistry there is too much to ignore and they were each other’s person. It’s so sweet!”

—lindseydettloff

“Imagine the enemies-to-friends-to-lovers character arc that could’ve been! Also, they have SO MUCH romantic tension in their scenes together. Plus, they share a son. A fairytale match? It would have been if the show was willing to be bold.”

“Paris is cooler, smarter, and more driven than all of Rory’s trash boyfriends put together.”

“Even though Chris was super positive and extroverted and Ben was more practical and introverted, they still worked so well together. Their opposite personalities balanced each other out so well and it was so cute to see how much they genuinely cared about each other.”

—egwenger

“I personally believe that they both deserved better romantic partners and their friendship was so sweet. I believe it could’ve translated into an amazing romantic relationship.”

—bookcrazy1234

“Literally the most romantically coded couple I’ve seen in a while.”
