** The Solara brothers are young gangsters who are described as very handsome. Especially Marcello in the TV show.
** Nino is more a {{Jerkass}} than evil, but he fits. Despite being the most hated character, there are fans who find his actor in the TV show handsome and charismatic, which makes his TheCasanova traits quite believable.

** Enzo and Lila. Enzo is the nicest guy in the story, and the only one of Lila's suitors who truly loves and respects her. Even if their couple is in the background in the TV series (especially compared to Elena/Nino, Lila/Nino, Elena/Pietro, etc.), they probably have the biggest amount of shipping videos. It helps that they manage to have a healthy relationship for a long time. [[spoiler:Sadly, they don't end up together, due to a tragedy that happens to their daughter, causing their life to fall apart.]]
** Elena and Lila, due to their heavy PseudoRomanticFriendship combined with FriendlyRivalry. Many fanfictions like to pair them together.

** Lila, due to being a BaseBreakingCharacter. When Pietro (Elena's new husband) meets some of her old friends and neighbors at dinner, he tells Elena that the Solaras are clearly bad people but, in his opinion, Lila is the most evil of them all. ''Many'' fans agree with Pietro's statement about Lila. The Solara's worst crimes? Murder, rape, gang violence, extortion, and terrorizing an entire city. Lila's worst crimes? Being mean, unpleasant, and a bad friend.

** Elena's husband Pietro. While everyone agrees he's a better person than Nino, he can be seen in two different ways, depending on the interpretation. To some, he's a well-meaning NiceGuy who was simply unable to understand his wife, to others he's a jerk who only wanted Elena as the pretty TrophyWife and never cared about her in the first place.

* LesYay: Elena and Lila's PseudoRomanticFriendship. In her narration, Elena seems to have an odd infatuation with Lila, gushing over Lila's talents and physical appearance. When Lila is trying on her wedding dress, she's excited because she has the "privilege" of seeing Lila's body even before Lila's future husband.
