  (#13) Hugh And Olivia, 'The Haunting Of Hill House' 

  It’s never clear if Hugh, the patriarch of the Crain family, is actually still in a relationship with his wife, Olivia, after the ghosts of Hill House infest her brain and lead her to try to poison her children before taking her own life. It’s shown multiple times, however, that Hugh has a running dialogue with the ghost of his former wife, or at the very least, with the memory of her. 

  The relationship is oblique for a few episodes until it’s obvious the ghosts of Hill House have the ability to reach out to the Crain family to draw them back to the home that nearly took their lives. Throughout the first season of the series, Olivia helps Hugh pick out his wardrobe and even accompanies him to their daughter’s wedding, although no one can see her except Hugh. 

  This couple proves that love can go beyond the grave, but for two people to be with one another, they need to at least be on the same astral plane. In the end, Hugh takes his life in Hill House to be with his wife for eternity. It would be sweet if it weren’t so sad.

  (#11) Henry And Paige, 'Charmed'

  After dating a fellow witch and an FBI agent, Paige Matthews of Charmed sets her romantic sights on a mortal. But not just any mortal: she falls for a parole officer. After Paige comes out of hiding in Season 8, she leans into her status as a Whitelighter and starts training charges in the battle against good and evil. Thanks to a scrape with the law, one of her trainees gets stuck reporting to Henry Mitchell. 

  Although the two don’t initially get along, a special magic brews between them, and in the final season, they fall into a deep, entangled love, even after Henry finds out Paige is a witch. Rather than shy away from a woman with power, Henry finds himself helping her in the fight between good and evil. Things work out for these two, leading them to have three magical kids.

  (#15) Emery And Roman, 'Star-Crossed' 

  For some reason, TV aliens and humans just can’t be together. Even if they're perfect for each other, there’s always something - their parents, the government, an interdimensional rift - keeping them apart. In Star-Crossed, Emery and Roman meet at the age of 6 when Roman crash-lands on Earth and hides behind Emery’s house. They become fast friends, but when the government finds out what's happening, they separate the young Atrian and human. 

  A decade later, the government decides to integrate the Atrians and humans by sticking some hunky teenage aliens into an Earth school. Roman and Emery are reunited, rekindling an old relationship. 

  Throughout this short-lived series, Emery finds herself torn between Roman, the teen boy from the stars, and her regular ol' Earth friends. Everyone from the government to various groups of Atrians tries to keep Emery and Roman apart, but this forbidden love is one that must be acted upon.

  (#17) Vicki And Henry, 'Blood Ties'

  It’s not easy to be a private investigator who’s in love with the 470-year-old illegitimate vampiric son of Henry VIII, and even harder when you’re losing your eyesight. That’s exactly what Vicki Nelson is dealing with in Blood Ties. As a private eye taking on all manner of supernatural cases, Vicki is thrust into the literal underworld of the city, and Henry is the only one who can help her parse the strange nature of the new world. 

  Over the course of the show’s two seasons, Vicki has to deal with her growing feelings for Henry and the dying embers of a relationship with her former, mortal boyfriend, Mike. Even though it’s clear to the audience Vicki and Henry belong together (he’s worldly, interesting, and pays for meals), Vicki still carries an emotional tie to Mike. 

  Unfortunately, the series only lasted two seasons, so Vicki and Henry didn't have many episodes to work out their Moonlighting vibes.

  (#16) Clive And Dale, 'iZombie' 

  Couples have to learn to compromise, whether it’s over what to watch on TV or what to have for dinner. That's true whether you’re a vegan who’s dating a meat-eater, or in Clive Babineaux’s case, a human who’s dating a zombie. 

  In the world of iZombie, the living dead are just like their old selves. They go to work and have active lives - but they also eat brains. So, maybe they’re not exactly like their old selves, but they manage. Clive is a homicide cop who spends most of the series keeping his nose to the grindstone in the hopes of becoming captain, but when he meets FBI agent Dale Bozzio, he’s head over heels. 

  The audience roots for a lot of couples on iZombie, but they need Clive and Dale’s on-again, off-again relationship because these two hard-working cops deserve one another. Even when Dale calls things off because she thinks Clive doesn't want to be with a zombie, they find a way to get back together.

  (#7) Xander And Anya, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' 

  Xander and Anya might be doomed from the moment they meet in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He's a wayward high school student moonlighting as the Scooby Gang’s Harpo, and she's an immortal vengeance demon trying to scorn all men. But over the course of Seasons 3 and 4, they fall in love while he's trying to save the world and she's not exactly trying to destroy it, but not not trying to destroy it. 

  During the fourth season of Buffy, it's clear these two are a cute item. Anya sleeps with Xander to get him out of her system, which only intensifies her feelings for him. Their relationship becomes a huge part of the show, and it becomes one of the best things about Season 5. 

  Unfortunately, Anya’s demonic past comes back to haunt her when one of her old victims shows up on the eve of her wedding in the guise of an elderly Xander to convince the real Xander to call off the wedding. Their breakup sends her back into the service of D’Hoffryn (the head of the vengeance demons) and the two are splitsville. 

  After regaining her vengeance powers, then losing them again, Anya and Xander manage to find peace with one another, and in Season 7, it looks as if they might get together. But Anya sacrifices herself during the series finale in a battle.
