History StalkerWithACrush / LiveActionTV

* In a ''Series/LawAndOrder'' episode, one of these kills a woman's husband in what nearly everyone thinks is an accident, and then marries her. They even have a child together. [[spoiler: But the late husband's mother wasn't fooled.]]

** It's heavily implied that Lestat de Lioncourt had stalked Louis de Pointe du Lac after being [[LoveAtFirstSight mesmerized by the latter's beauty]], and he basically admits to doing so ("I've been watching you for some time now, Louis"). It's not a coincidence that Lestat had arranged to be in Lily's company, as he's aware that she acts as TheBeard for Louis. Lestat kissing her, running his hands along the seams of her dress, and outbidding Louis for her time were done deliberately to provoke him. Lestat also must have heard Tom Anderson inviting Louis to a private poker game because Lestat managed to get a seat there, which provided a second opportunity for him to socialize with Louis. After Louis ghosts Lestat after TheirFirstTime, Lestat initially hopes that Lily can be a ReplacementGoldfish for Louis, [[SubvertedTrope but she is unable to fill in the void Louis left behind to Lestat's satisfaction]], so Lestat seeks out Louis directly. At Paul's funeral, Lestat warns Louis that [[{{Understatement}} he doesn't take kindly to being avoided]], and when [[SeekingSanctuary the latter tries to find refuge at the church because he wants to be free from the Devil's voice inside his head]] (which is actually Lestat's repeated telepathic attempts to summon Louis to him), Lestat pursues Louis and confronts him in person. Lestat clearly doesn't respect Louis' wish to be left alone and won't take no for an answer. In the 2022 scenes of [[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder the series premiere]], Louis describes himself as the prey while Lestat was the predator who was hunting him, a sentiment that any victim of stalking can relate to. With the revelation in [[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E3IsMyVeryNatureThatOfADevil the third episode]] that Lestat had covertly followed Louis and Jonah Macon to the bayou and proved himself to be a [[ThePeepingTom peeping tom]], it confirms just how warped Lestat's infatuation with Louis is.
** In "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E5AVileHungerForYourHammeringHeart A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart]]", Bruce had trailed Claudia for some time before he introduces himself to her. After she rejects his advances, he breaks her leg, and an ImpliedRape ensues.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone2019'': Mark in "[[ Try Try]]", who has a crush on Claudia, is shown to be one. He's been trying to win her over for a long time using his time loops, and she's suitably creeped out upon learning this. Worse, after she rejects this Mark becomes violent.

* In ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "Milagro", Mulder's loner neighbor turns out to have a scary infatuation with Scully. He moved next door to Mulder in an attempt to get closer to her, he knows everything about her...even the novel he's writing is about her falling in love with him. Of course, in addition to being a stalker, the book he's writing has a villain who lives outside the book and tries to kill Scully.

** [[DepravedHomosexual Dave]] [[ArmouredClosetGay Karofsky]], anyone? He's way worse than any of the others. He's Kurt's homophobic bully and the crush comes out when Karofsky [[ForcefulKiss forcibly kisses]] a very terrified Kurt. Add to that the physical assault, constant insults and [[UpToEleven eventual death threat]]... it doesn't exactly go well.

* Sealed with a kiss: Tong Xue, a young interior designer with a hidden secret life is the mistress of Mo Shao Qian, a successful businessman who blackmailed her into being his woman to save her family. Unbeknownst to her, he did it because he blames her parents for his father's death but he struggles with his torture because he's in-love with her.
She always feared him, wishing and planning for the day, when she escapes away from his claws. However the moment he finally released her, it was too late for her to run free.

** After years of FoeYay, the Master's first on-screen female incarnation has abandoned all pretense, outright calling the Doctor her boyfriend, sexually assaulting him when they first meet, and "jokingly" threatening to shoot him out of jealousy.

** There's Tritter [[FoeYay towards House]] as well. Ever since their first meeting, where House anally inserted a thermometer into Tritter and just walked away and left him there ([[KickTheDog because Tritter tripped his cane out from under him, making him slam into the door]]), Tritter becomes [[FoeYay completely obsessed with House]]. He pretty much spends all his time [[StalkerWithACrush stalking House]], questioning all of House's friends trying to find things on him, and searching his house. He also actively sought out arresting House, and did a body search on him, which consisted of him groping House and lifting up his shirt (which exposed House's abdomen).

* Roy the bakery delivery boy on ''Series/TheFactsOfLife'' pursues Jo Polniaczek in several episodes, hitting on her repeatedly, even after she tells him repeatedly that she's not interested. While this is played for comedy, Roy's behavior would rightfully be considered stalking and sexual harassment today. He would be on the receiving end of a restraining order and would probably be banned from the school campus.

* [[ButtMonkey Freddie]] in ''Series/ICarly''. He and Carly are really good friends, and the stalker side of things is pretty much limited to him waiting for her to come home after school by looking through his peephole (they live in opposite apartments), but it weirds some people out. Pretty much limited to PlayedForLaughs.
** Freddie's stalker-ish behavior drops off pretty quick. If you watched the rest of the series, then watched the pilot, you wouldn't recognize Freddie as the same character. Of course, post-pilot, Freddie is hanging out with his crush most of the time with her consent, so it would be a little difficult to stalk her at that point.

* Happens between a boss and an employee in ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' where the employee became madly infatuated with his boss who did not return his affections. He repeatedly sent her emails and left gifts at her house. When she gently tried to tell him she wasn't interested and fired him as a result, he returned to the office with a gun [[spoiler: so he could propose to her, believing he had a better chance with her, CompletelyMissingThePoint of said firing.]]

** Her father, Harvey, was known to show the same behavior. Harvey had a one night stand with Charlie and Alan's mother and began to stalk her in the exact same manner that Rose stalked Charlie.
