12 TV Couples That Made So Much Sense, But Didn’t End Up Together (5 of 7)

8. Phoebe and Cole—Charmed

Phoebe and Cole had the ultimate love-hate relationship. Cole’s battle between good and evil matched the ups and downs in their rollercoaster romance, but their love always felt intense and real. Even when Cole attempted to change, external factors continued to pull him and Phoebe apart. Sadly, they couldn’t make it work in the end, but their bond left a lasting impact.

9. Hayley and Elijah—The Originals

Their slow-burn romance was nothing short of epic. Their relationship was characterized by tension, sacrifice, and loyalty, and Elijah’s unwavering devotion to Hayley made it seem inevitable that they would become a couple, despite their constant postponements. Yet when they finally did come together, it was merely fleeting. Circumstance, duty, and timing always kept their relationship from becoming serious. Their ending was unfortunate, but their chemistry remains one of the most memorable in the series.
