10. The Ghosts Were Overrated

The Vampire Diaries was a show that was full of tragedy. Throughout its eight seasons, all of the main characters had been killed at least once. Their exits were not always permanent as the viewers would either see them revived shortly after or they would become ghosts.

While some were thrilled that they got the chance to see some of their favorite characters return as specters, one Reddit user disagreed, believing the characters shouldn't be revived. "For a show that has 'loss and recovery' as their motto," they stated, "they sure didn't grasp that the true impact of a loss is in its permanency."

The Vampire Diaries: 25 Couples Ranked (And How Long They Lasted)

The Vampire Diaries is brimming with romance. While the love triangle between Stefan, Elena, and Damon made up the core of the show, Stefan/Elena and Damon/Elena were far from the only couples to attract fan love. In fact, throughout the show's eight seasons, each character had their fair share of relationships. This resulted in dozens of couples, all of whom had their own shippers.

Yet, each of the relationships on The Vampire Diaries wasn’t equally successful. And while the characters committed wholeheartedly to those couplings, the length of time they stayed together was highly variable. Plus, the consequences of some relationships reverberated years later, even if the couples themselves only lasted weeks. Meanwhile, other relationships were quickly forgotten as each participant moved on to greener pastures.

No matter how epic or broken their previous relationships were, the characters of The Vampire Diaries were always eager to try again – sometimes even with the same person. As a result, the quality of different couples’ romances could vary greatly. So, while some characters' relationships showed us just how great romance could be, others provided a cautionary tale in what not to do when coupling up. In this list we’re exploring the different couples from The Vampire Diaries and putting them in order from worst to best.
