8. The Doctor and Rose Tyler from Doctor Who
I could go on and on about this long running tv series. I could go on and on about this couple. Yes, they're a couple because when the head writer (Russell T. Davies at the time) gives their Doctor's companion an almost exact replica to smooch on then yeah. He intended them to be a couple. Oh, but I guess there are rules when it comes to giving the real Doctor everlasting happiness so this was the very best next thing...hmmmm.
Rose meets The Doctor when he's balding and has a seriously major chip on his shoulder (my Doctor, don't you just love Chris?!). A few episodes later they're acting like they can't survive without the other although never expressed very openly. Well, not yet. Soon, Rose changes in her robbing the cradle Doctor for the charming David Tennant.
For some the sparks really took flight after that so much so to the point that some fans have STILL never gotten over the fact these two are not on our screens anymore. Awww. He was our wounded, mad Timelord and she was our favorite shop girl with a heart. One heart for her and two for him but soon time began to run out for our star-crossed travelers.
The two were separated by two universes and failed "I love yous". It just couldn't end like that. It didn't of course. A few more appearances by Rose and playing marbles with the Earth then we truly, really had an ending for our cute couple. Two Doctors somehow came to be so The Doctor had a spare he could give to Rose and the first thing she does is kiss him (the spare). Our Dose or Roctor (terrible I know) became a reality! Well sorta. What did Russell T. Davies do to Doctor Who and it's fans?! Some of us have never recovered and the rest of Doctor Who seems bland and uninteresting after this. Don't hate on me peeps! Deep down inside you know it to be true!
7. Wolf and Virginia from The 10th Kingdom
I JUST LOVE THIS MINI-SERIES!!! Hmmm. What to say after that? lol! My family first saw this fairy-land inspired beauty when it first aired on NBC. Yes, we were one of the few who actually DID watch it when it originally aired! Sadly, very little of the viewing public watched and that is why we will never have a sequel. Well, not with the same original cast I'm sure. It has been 13 years! What we do have though is a treasure which I've seen many, many times over since that first viewing. I can unashamedly admit the reason for the repeat views is the relationship between Scott Cohen's Wolf (my fav character) and Virginia Lewis played by Kimberly Williams...before she was a Paisley.
Wolf is a man who is half wolf of course from a land which holds 9 kingdoms all based on the fairy-tales we all grew up on. Virginia Lewis is a young woman from New York who lives with her father in an apartment. Their worlds collide when a portal connecting these two places is formed in Central Park following a little mishap with an escaped from prison Evil Queen, a prince who has been turned into a dog, and orders given to Wolf to find this lost dog prince. What transpires is a grand adventure through the land of fairy-tales and magic to find a way back to Virginia's world. During this lovely and enchanting journey these two go from strangers to friends and finally to romantic partners. The process of this happening is quite funny but also tear jerking.
When you first meet Wolf it's easy to think: "What is wrong with this fellow?" He's totally obsessed with food, howls like there's no tomorrow, and scratches his face too much! lol! As the series progresses all his little antics make him so endearing though. Then there comes a scene where he's in a cage and is pleading with Virginia to stay with him. The look on his face and those puppy dog (wolf pup) eyes! I fell so hard and never recovered after that!
Virginia Lewis has some really hard truths to learn through the story. She's a spunky 20 something woman who thinks she has her life all planned out but underneath she's a hurt and frightened little girl still feeling the pain of when her mother left her when she was only seven years old. Through the crazy adventures and big revelations (there are some BIG moments of her) she becomes a braver person and learns she can move on from the pain. This girl has the power to make you cry and laugh along with her. One of my fav scenes is when she plays a shepherdess and sings We Will SHER You! :) Also, those beautiful and painful moments about her with The Evil Queen. So sad indeed.
