* ''Series/CSINewYork'' conversely goes the [[IfICantHaveYou "possessive"]] route:
** Ella [=McBride=] was portrayed as one of these for Mac Taylor. She followed him to the grocery store, gave him fake evidence so she could "help" with the case. She even slit her wrists in an attempt for him to pay attention to her. She also wrote on a card on her wall that was decorated with a picture of a crime scene "I will make him love me." Nothing has come of it so far, except that Mac visited her in a group home and she said something about an eyeball dropping into coffee which happened to Stella earlier in the episode while she was with Mac.

In one of the classic scenes from the show, she tells Barnabas (in a very kind, gentle, loving way), that she loves him so much that she would kill anyone to possess him.

In iStill Psycho, she returns and is willing to repeat the same events from iPsycho, this time with her parents helping her.

* Iris Crowe from ''Series/{{Carnivale}}''; okay, so maybe it doesn't take ''that'' much GenreSavvy to figure out that her ''brother'' isn't going to be Mr. Nice Minister forever, but surely she's just a sweet, devoted church lady? Okay, maybe [[BrotherSisterIncest a little too devoted]], but... still pretty harmless, yeah? I mean, right up until she's [[spoiler: burning down ''a church full of orphans'' to throw suspicion on the city councilors who wanted to shut down her brother's ministry]].

** Supposed to be Buffy's sweet-do-good boyfriend, Riley went crazy on more than one occasion. He picked a fight with Angel and attacked a harmless chipped Spike by throwing him out in the sunlight or stabbing him with a plastic wood stake when he thought they threatened his relationship with Buffy. He also "cheated" on Buffy by letting a bunch of vampires suck on him to "even the score" after letting Dracula bit her.

When he finally tried to leave her for a girl his own age she called her parents saying he was a rapist, then intentionally misdiagnosed him with schizophrenia so she could keep him drugged up in her house.
