7. Elena Should Have Died In Season 6

While a large portion of fans believe that the show hadn't been the same since Elena Dobrev exited in season 6, there was a small minority who had a different opinion. In fact, they had a different vision for the show altogether. Instead of placing her under a sleeping curse, some have suggested that maybe Elena should have died.

After she got involved with Damon, a few fans felt like she lost so much function and value on the show. They believe that the whole Stelena/Delena love triangle was dragged out as well as the goings-on with Damon. One user even said that her death would have "cut a lot of contrivedness of season 7 and 8."

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.
