* Ari and Temo in ''Series/ElCorazonNuncaSeEquivoca''

to:

* Ari The American soap ''Series/AsTheWorldTurns'' has quite a few "{{super couple}}s", with a clear indication that they are meant to be together. One such super couple is Luke and Temo Noah. Unlike their heterosexual counterparts, they have actually no other possible characters to hook up with, their story lines consisting instead of breaking up and making up every few months. In a soap, you can tell a couple is "truly official" after they make up for the third time. However, with the introduction of Dr. Reid Oliver, Luke has a viable second love interest, and is currently wanting Reid to fight for him. Reid did, and Luke and Reid became the official couple with Noah barely seen.
* John Sheridan and Ambassador Delenn of ''Series/BabylonFive'', who, as mentioned elsewhere, walked through fire for their love and lasted the entire run of the show. (Sheridan doesn't appear until season two, although a later-but-earlier TV movie indicates they met prior to the series.)
* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' had President Laura Roslin and Admiral William Adama, who,
in ''Series/ElCorazonNuncaSeEquivoca''contrast to the other couples on the show, took four years to finally acknowledge their feelings openly (they got off to a bit of a rocky start, what with the whole 'interferring in the military/coup d'etat' thing), although they first kissed in Season 2 when Roslin promoted Adama to Admiral.

** [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Calvin and Hayley]] have been together for a least a year prior to the start of their season.
* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' every so often follows through with it's [[ShipTease ship teasing]], one example being [[TeamMom Urara]] and [[SexyMentor Hikaru]] of Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger.
** Super Sentai has few actually, Ryu and Kaori from Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman, Asuka and Mahoro from Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger, Tatsuya and Yuuri from Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger, Nanami and Isshu from Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger, Satoru and Sakura from Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger is also implied in Gekiranger vs. Boukenger.

* Eventually, [[TheMcCoy Narumi Akiko]] and [[HotBlooded Terui Ryuu]] of ''Series/KamenRiderW''.

* Despite the writers' attempts to the contrary -- "PK Tech Girl", "I Do, I Think", and even "Eat Me", for example -- there was no doubt who the official couple on ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' were. John and Aeryn were awkwardly falling into tight spaces together or each other's arms in the ''first episode''.

John Crichton and Aeryn Sun were awkwardly falling into tight spaces together or each other's arms in the ''first episode''.
* ''Series/{{NUMB3RS}}'' has two: Charlie ''Series/{{ER}}'': While almost everyone in the main cast had temporary romantic relationships with each other, the following couples got a lot of focus and Amita became endgame for one, who have had tension good:
** Doug and Carol.
** Mark and Elizabeth, until Mark's death. She reveals to Benton in the series finale that she hasn't been serious with anyone else
since they [[TheLostLenore Mark]].
** Benton and Cleo.
** Kerry and Sandy, until Sandy's death. Kerry reveals in "Breach of Trust" that she hasn't been able to move on since [[TheLostLenore Sandy's]] death, and that moving to Florida with their son Henry [[HerHeartWillGoOn will help her move on]].
** Luka and Abby.
** Ray and Neela.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Carrying all the requisite drama
were introduced, Mal and Larry Inara, and Megan, which nobody saw coming.
** Three: Don
Simon and Robin
Kaylee. Zoe/Wash, being HappilyMarried, have [[BetaCouple considerably less drama]].
* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': Beck Barry Allen and Jade.Iris West in ''Series/TheFlash2014''.
* Niles and Daphne in ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' managed to be an official couple throughout eight whole years of UnrequitedLove, [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]], and WillTheyOrWontThey before even making a move, never mind getting together, ''and'' despite Niles being married to someone else for the better part of that period. They were relegated to BetaCouple afterwards.



* Sam and Diane in ''Series/{{Cheers}}'', though Diane left in the Season 5 finale. The original intention behind the characters, in fact, had involved a Katherine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy dynamic. After this, there was some teasing about Sam and Rebecca coming together, but it didn't really happen.
* ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' had some confusion over this as there was some hints towards a T'pol/Archer romance, but was actually opposed by the actors themselves as it was a senior officer/subordinate relationship and generally inappropriate. Although there was plenty of T'pol/Trip as well, set up from the pilot with their [[IntimateHealing intimate disinfecting]] and having SlapSlapKiss vibes for the first two seasons. It became more overt in the third season and while it never became official in the series it was stated they did spend some time actually together.
* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Neelix and Kes, then Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres, but never Janeway and Chakotay to fan disappointment. In fact, given that the need for everyone to start pairing up was lampshaded early in the series (as they thought they'd take 70+ years to get home) it's surprising how little romance there was on the ship. There were hints by the end of a Chakotay/Seven pairing, but she is single in ''Series/StarTrekPicard''.
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' was more character-driven than the other shows, being set on a space station so it explored romances more.
** Captain Sisko and Cassady Yates. In fact this was made possible because she was a freighter captain who frequented the station, meaning there was no chain of command to worry about. All other Trek captains had problems with never being able to stay around long.
** Chief O'Brien and his wife, Keiko. This relationship actually began in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and came to ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' when the actors moved shows.
** Jadzia Dax and Commander Worf ended up getting married.
** Ezri Dax and Dr Bashir ended up together by the end of the series.
** Kira and Odo ended up together, but were eventually [[StarCrossedLovers forced]] to go their separate ways due to the burden of duty towards their respective peoples.
** Garak and Tora Ziyal were paired together. At least until Ziyal [[StarCrossedLovers died]].
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' has Riker and Troi's on-and-off relationship. They eventually get married after the events of ''Film/StarTrekNemesis''. ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' reveals that they had two children together (although their firstborn died) and moved to a sparsely-populates planet after retiring from Starfleet.
* ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' has Michael and Ash [[spoiler:until Michael leaves for the future, leaving Ash behind]], as well as Paul and Hugh[[spoiler:, which hits a snag when Hugh is murdered then brought back to life, but seems to get back on track]].
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'':
** Has Official ''former'' Couples, specifically [=McGee=]/Abby and Gibbs/Jenny.
** Tony/Ziva has become this. It's the only couple actually discussed anymore.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Carrying all the requisite drama were Mal and Inara, and Simon and Kaylee. Zoe/Wash, being HappilyMarried, have [[BetaCouple considerably less drama]].
* ''Series/TheWestWing'' has Josh/Donna after seven seasons of WillTheyOrWontThey. There's also CJ and Danny, who are on-again, off-again throughout the series, but confirmed married and with a child in a flashforward at the beginning of the seventh season, President Bartlet and his wife Abbey, who are mostly HappilyMarried, and [[spoiler:President]] Matt Santos and his wife Helen. Zoey and Charlie were last seen together in season six, but their eventual fate is left ambiguous.
* The American soap ''Series/AsTheWorldTurns'' has quite a few "{{super couple}}s", with a clear indication that they are meant to be together. One such super couple is Luke and Noah. Unlike their heterosexual counterparts, they have actually no other possible characters to hook up with, their story lines consisting instead of breaking up and making up every few months. In a soap, you can tell a couple is "truly official" after they make up for the third time. However, with the introduction of Dr. Reid Oliver, Luke has a viable second love interest, and is currently wanting Reid to fight for him.

They've been dragging this out for three years." Even after they broke up in a five year TimeSkip, fans are just waiting for them to reunite. TheyDo.
* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
** While they can't be together until one of them quits the military, Jack and Sam are very much the "it" couple of the show. According to WordOfGod, they were originally not intended to be this; but when the powers that be realized the fandom had latched onto the brilliant onscreen chemistry between Richard Dean Anderson and Amanda Tapping, they decided to go with it.
** Depending on how you view deleted scenes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_evV0kDWa5E this scene]] from the "Series/StargateAtlantis" episode "Trio", basically makes Sam/Jack canon. The DVD intro to the scene has the PowersThatBe very explicitly state that Sam is referring to Jack and they are a couple. At least one writer has said that as far as he's concerned, Jack and Sam got together after "Threads" and have been together ever since.
** Daniel/Vala was this in the last couple seasons.
* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'':
** Much to the dislike of several fans, and the great pleasure of several others, Rodney and Keller.
** Sheppard/Weir was an example where the actors played their characters together like this, even if the writing didn't exactly follow it. Howeever like Jack and Sam, any relationship between them would be disapproved of by their superiors because of their shared command of Atlantis, the writers could have been setting up a similar unofficial romance without writing anything overt.
** ''Series/StargateUniverse'' has Scott/Chloe, much to the consternation of Eli/Chloe shippers.
* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' had President Laura Roslin and Admiral William Adama, who, in contrast to the other couples on the show, took four years to finally acknowledge their feelings openly (they got off to a bit of a rocky start, what with the whole 'interferring in the military/coup d'etat' thing), although they first kissed in Season 2 when Roslin promoted Adama to Admiral.

** Also Ellie and Captain Awesome.
** Besides them, Morgan and Anna in the first two seasons as well. Afterwards, Morgan and Alex.
* Ned and Chuck in ''Series/PushingDaisies'', much to the annoyance of Ned/Olive shippers.
* Viktor and Sierra in ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'' fell in LoveAtFirstSight, and keep doing it with every new personality they're given, and when they don't have personalities.
* Richard Castle and Detective Kate Beckett from ''Series/{{Castle}}''.
* Robin Hood and Lady Marian in ''Series/RobinHood''. So obvious that it hardly warrants mentioning, except that the FanPreferredCouple of Guy/Marian had some fans [[DieForOurShip vilifying Robin]], listing the reasons why Guy was a better match for Marian, and clinging to the hope that they would somehow end up together. Ultimately Guy [[spoiler:murdered Marian]], effectively ending ''both'' ships, and yet there were still some that complained that it was Robin and not Guy who got the TogetherInDeath scene with Marian at the end of the show.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
** Lily and Marshall have already been together 9 years when the series begins, and [[FlashForward flashforwards]] show them still being HappilyMarried in the year 2029. However, once they got married they mostly became the BetaCouple.
** The series finale reveals that Ted and Robin are the official couple, despite TheNarrator having denied it since the beginning.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Neelix and Kes, then Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres, but never Janeway and Chakotay to fan disappointment. In fact, given that the need for everyone to start pairing up was lampshaded early in the series (as they thought they'd take 70+ years to get home) it's surprising how little romance there was on the ship. There were hints by the end of a Chakotay/Seven pairing, but she is single in ''Series/StarTrekPicard''.
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' was more character-driven than the other shows, being set on a space station so it explored romances more.
** Captain Sisko and Cassady Yates. In fact this was made possible because she was a freighter captain who frequented the station, meaning there was no chain of command to worry about. All other Trek captains had problems with never being able to stay around long.
** Chief O'Brien and his wife, Keiko. This relationship actually began in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and came to ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' when the actors moved shows.
** Jadzia Dax and Commander Worf ended up getting married.
** Ezri Dax and Dr Bashir ended up together by the end of the series.
** Kira and Odo ended up together, but were eventually [[StarCrossedLovers forced]] to go their separate ways due to the burden of duty towards their respective peoples.
** Garak and Tora Ziyal were paired together. At least until Ziyal [[StarCrossedLovers died]].
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' has Riker and Troi's on-and-off relationship. They eventually get married after the events of ''Film/StarTrekNemesis''. ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' reveals that they had two children together (although their firstborn died) and moved to a sparsely-populates planet after retiring from Starfleet.
* ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' has Michael and Ash [[spoiler:until Michael leaves for the future, leaving Ash behind]], as well as Paul and Hugh[[spoiler:, which hits a snag when Hugh is murdered then brought back to life, but seems to get back on track]].
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'':
** Has Official ''former'' Couples, specifically [=McGee=]/Abby and Gibbs/Jenny.
** Tony/Ziva has become this. It's the only couple actually discussed anymore.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Carrying all the requisite drama were Mal and Inara, and Simon and Kaylee. Zoe/Wash, being HappilyMarried, have [[BetaCouple considerably less drama]].
* ''Series/TheWestWing'' has Josh/Donna after seven seasons of WillTheyOrWontThey. There's also CJ and Danny, who are on-again, off-again throughout the series, but confirmed married and with a child in a flashforward at the beginning of the seventh season, President Bartlet and his wife Abbey, who are mostly HappilyMarried, and [[spoiler:President]] Matt Santos and his wife Helen. Zoey and Charlie were last seen together in season six, but their eventual fate is left ambiguous.
* The American soap ''Series/AsTheWorldTurns'' has quite a few "{{super couple}}s", with a clear indication that they are meant to be together. One such super couple is Luke and Noah. Unlike their heterosexual counterparts, they have actually no other possible characters to hook up with, their story lines consisting instead of breaking up and making up every few months. In a soap, you can tell a couple is "truly official" after they make up for the third time. However, with the introduction of Dr. Reid Oliver, Luke has a viable second love interest, and is currently wanting Reid to fight for him. Reid did, and Luke and Reid became the official couple with Noah barely seen.
* Susan and Mike on ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' were set up this way from day one; in fact when they finally got married in the third season finale, there was a LampshadeHanging from Susan's daughter Julie: upon the usual "reasons they shouldn't wed" question she replies "Are you kidding? They've been dragging this out for three years." Even after they broke up in a five year TimeSkip, fans are just waiting for them to reunite. TheyDo.
* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
** While they can't be together until one of them quits the military, Jack and Sam are very much the "it" couple of the show. According to WordOfGod, they were originally not intended to be this; but when the powers that be realized the fandom had latched onto the brilliant onscreen chemistry between Richard Dean Anderson and Amanda Tapping, they decided to go with it.
** Depending on how you view deleted scenes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_evV0kDWa5E this scene]] from the "Series/StargateAtlantis" episode "Trio", basically makes Sam/Jack canon. The DVD intro to the scene has the PowersThatBe very explicitly state that Sam is referring to Jack and they are a couple. At least one writer has said that as far as he's concerned, Jack and Sam got together after "Threads" and have been together ever since.
** Daniel/Vala was this in the last couple seasons.
* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'':
** Much to the dislike of several fans, and the great pleasure of several others, Rodney and Keller.
** Sheppard/Weir was an example where the actors played their characters together like this, even if the writing didn't exactly follow it. Howeever like Jack and Sam, any relationship between them would be disapproved of by their superiors because of their shared command of Atlantis, the writers could have been setting up a similar unofficial romance without writing anything overt.
** ''Series/StargateUniverse'' has Scott/Chloe, much to the consternation of Eli/Chloe shippers.
* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' had President Laura Roslin and Admiral William Adama, who, in contrast to the other couples on the show, took four years to finally acknowledge their feelings openly (they got off to a bit of a rocky start, what with the whole 'interferring in the military/coup d'etat' thing), although they first kissed in Season 2 when Roslin promoted Adama to Admiral.

* Viktor and Sierra in ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'' fell in LoveAtFirstSight, and keep doing it with every new personality they're given, and when they don't have personalities.
* Richard Castle and Detective Kate Beckett from ''Series/{{Castle}}''.
* Robin Hood and Lady Marian in ''Series/RobinHood''. So obvious that it hardly warrants mentioning, except that the FanPreferredCouple of Guy/Marian had some fans [[DieForOurShip vilifying Robin]], listing the reasons why Guy was a better match for Marian, and clinging to the hope that they would somehow end up together. Ultimately Guy [[spoiler:murdered Marian]], effectively ending ''both'' ships, and yet there were still some that complained that it was Robin and not Guy who got the TogetherInDeath scene with Marian at the end of the show.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
** Lily and Marshall have already been together 9 years when the series begins, and [[FlashForward flashforwards]] show them still being HappilyMarried in the year 2029. However, once they got married they mostly became the BetaCouple.
** The series finale reveals that Ted and Robin are the official couple, despite TheNarrator having denied it since the beginning.
began.



* ''Series/TheXFiles'': Mulder & Scully. As to when they got together, the series is never clear and it is a constant debate among fans. However, most seem to place it somewhere during Season 7. Funnily enough, Chris Carter insisted that Mulder and Scully were never supposed to be anything but platonic work partners. [[RelationshipWritingFumble The writing, however, suggests otherwise.]]

Eventually, Nick and seven it was Buffy Adalind become this trope, and Spike.

* ''Series/{{Psych}}'' sets up Shawn/Juliet over and over and over again...and then, at the end of season three, has Juliet confess that she is, in fact, in love with Shawn, while he was on a date with another girl. Since then, it seems to come up occasionally, but it's hard to tell if they've both moved past it or are just waiting for the right moment ''again''. In Season 5, they're officially together.

Unusually for this trope, at the start of the series they were already HappilyMarried with three children -- and Daphne miraculously, have ''stayed'' so despite the rather ridiculous amount of stress their marriage is put under over the course of the show. They've been cited as the healthiest example of marriage on television.

Unusually for this trope, at the start of the series they were already HappilyMarried with three children -- and miraculously, have ''stayed'' so despite the rather ridiculous amount of stress their marriage is put under over the course of the show.

Nick and Adalind even have a child together, despite the baby being a result of a BedTrick by Adalind (she made herself look like Juliette).
