We’re counting down our picks for the most scintillating forbidden loves that have ever graced our television. Our countdown includes True Blood, Scandal, Pushing Daisies, and more! If we missed any of YOUR favorite illicit affairs
And now, you want me to watch you just walk away. Piper and Leo were one of the longest-running couples on Charmed. And perhaps one of the couples plagued with the most heartache, leo entered the charmed ones lives. When he was assigned by heavenly beings called the elders to be the sisters. White lighter or guardian angel of sorts. White lighters and witches were forbidden from being involved romantically.
But the connection between Piper and Leo was just too strong to ignore. How do you feel about guys who make the second move, love them. That, forbidden aspect to their relationship plagued them continuously throughout the show, keeping them apart time and time again, but in the end, these two proved they belonged together. We changed the past to fix the future and save the present. That's all. Number 19. Brandon and CiE Foster, the fosters.
Sure, brandon and CiE are not actually related, but there are still a lot of roadblocks when it comes to dating his foster siblings. Don't. We can't. Yes, we can. You can still get adopted and I'll stay at my dad's. We can see each other there. Behind everybody's backs. The romantic feelings between Brandon and CIE seemed obvious to viewers. From the moment They met.
Brandon, acted on these feelings fairly early, but Callie was more hesitant to move forward, knowing that if she became involved with a foster sibling, she might be kicked out of the house, but you don't just ruin things for you. He ruined them for me too, cuz. We're a package deal. You know, they're not going to separate us.
The two ultimately ended up pressing down their feelings for each other to ensure that CIE could get adopted, but br shippers out there in the world still hold out. Hope that something might have been possible for these two. Beyond the series end, I'm ready. The call me, your ro. And we'll never need their rules to guide way. Number 18, victoria Grayson and David Clark.
Revenge, revenge was filled with plenty of twists and turns over its 4-year run, but nothing was quite as surprising as the relationship between Victoria Grayson and David Clark. I couldn't save her in the end. So, what does it matter? It matters to me. Victoria was part of the reason that David Clark was framed for the crashed flight 197. We had this information for most of the series run, but then romance threw a wrench in.
What we thought, we knew Turns out before the series, victoria and David engaged in an affair that resulted in the birth of Victoria's daughter, charlotte. So, you knew that she was my daughter, and you painted her as an enemy. She is my enemy, david. Victoria was forced by Conrad, to blame David. And she ends up deeply affected by her actions. Throughout the course of the show, we're not going to lie. Things don't end up.
Great for these two. And it was twisted while it lasted. This is about us. But how you can lie to me yet? Demand absolute honesty. Number 17. Lee, apollo Adama and Cara Starbuck Race, battle Star Galactica. Did you say you love me? Well, leah, dama loves me. Now, all I meant was no, seriously, very sweet. You love me.come on, who hasn't fallen into a complicated yet-loving relationship with their dead fiance's brother.
No, just car race then. Well, it might not be normal, but it's certainly made for compelling television. Good to see you too. Captain, remind me to send you to the BR. Later. The complexities between Carth race and leod. DAMa started way before the events of Battl Star, galactica. Any chance of a romance between the two seems impossible because of Cara's previous engagement to Lee's brother Zach, even more than that. The two are so completely different.
But sometimes those differences are the things that make them seem destined to be together. Besides, I never really could say no to anything, except me, especially you number 16, alicia, floric and Will Gardner, the good wife. Do you think it was a mistake? No, workplace, relationships are taboo, for a reason. But when your chemistry is as hot as Alicia, and Will's, maybe exceptions should be made throughout.
The good wife, will makes his attraction to Alicia quite plain, but she tends to push him away. Oh, my God. Listen to yourself. Well, you are not the injured party here. What, and you are, I am, yes, it probably doesn't help that. She is married and her husband is in prison. She's going through a lot. Okay. But, even with all those obstacles between them, the sheer passion between Alicia and will pushes their relationship forward.
Making out in elevators. Has never been this sexy. Goodby. Number 15. Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore, the Vampire diaries. You want me. Excuse me. I get to you. Find yourself drawn to me. You think about me, even when you don't want to think about me, I bet you even dreamed about me. It's a tale as old as time in so many of our favorite stories.
A vampire and a human fall in love, but can't be together because one of them literally consumes part of the other for sustenance. But the vampire diaries didn't stop there. They threw a love triangle with a brother into the mix. He didn't tell me. He had a brother. Well, st sent one to brag at the beginning of the vampire diary. IIes. Elena begins dating the vampire, stepan, salvatore.
Then his brother, damon shows up hellbent on taking revenge on his brother and doing some truly horrific things to Elena. The two start off as foes. But eventually that animosity turns into a tentative friendship. And later. Love you've been a terrible person. You've made all the wrong choices. And of all the choices that I've made, this will prove to be the worst one, but I am not, sorry, that I'm in love with you.
Number 14, carrie, mat and Nicholas Brody, homeland. If you're working for the CIA, it's probably a given that you shouldn't become romantically involved with someone who's under investigation for terrorism. But on Homeland, carrie, mat was never one for playing, by the rules, I know. Pissed off all my college boyfriends too. All of them, both of them in season 1, she takes an investigation into her own hands looking into a possible P turned terrorist named Brody.
Outside of CIA protocol, she eventually strikes up a romantic relationship with him. And, when he finds out about her initial intentions, he's unhappy to say the least, it was my job. It is my job. So, you're still spying. I'm working. I'm always working. The back and forth between Carrie and. Brody forms the meat of much of the first few seasons of the show.
We know this relationship isn't a great idea, but listen, you could cut that tension with a knife. I do, feel used and played and li to. I also feel good. Number 13. Leslie, nope. And Ben Wyatt. Parks and recreation. We tried hanging out together. We tried working together, and it just bums me out. No, no, no. We're just working out the kinks. You don't need to decrease your time with me.
In fact, you need to increase your time with me. You need to spend more time with me. That make sense. I think it, the Pon, indiana Parks and Recreation Department, might not be as intense a workplace as some, but it C certainly can breed illicit romances of its own. I don't want anyone to think that you got where you are today by sleeping with your boss, but I really like sleeping with my boss.
Yeah, ben Wyatt doesn't show up on parks and recreation until the end of season 2, but it's hard to imagine the show. Without his and Leslie's incessant flirting, they are explicitly forbidden from dating each other. And Leslie's bid for city leadership doesn't necessarily leave a lot of time for romance, despite the setbacks they face. However, it's clear from the get, they've always got each other's backs. How would you imagine We do this?
I don't know, but I know how I feel, and I want to be with you, but I'm done steamrolling people. This is how I feel. How do you feel? Number 12, meredith Gray and Derek Shepard, gray's anatomy picture this. You have a one-night stand before your first day at your new job. You show up to your new job and realize that your one-night stand, he's your boss, dr. Shephard, we should pretend it never happened.
What never happened? You sleeping with me last night, or you throwing me out this morning because both are fond memories. I like to hold on later. You're maybe starting to get used to the idea of dating at the workplace. Then your boyfriend / boss's est-stranged wife shows up. This is the kind of thing that Meredith Gray is dealing with on Gray's anatomy. He's a brain surgeon. How can he be so brainless? Hello, seriously, seriously.
All those early hurdles for Meredith and Derk Shepherd's forbidden romance. They quickly become one of the show,'s most beloved couples. Meredith's pick-me speech is still one of the most iconic moments in television history. Pick me, choose me. Love me. Number 11, flea bag and the priest. Flea bag dating a man of the cloth.
Well, that's probably about as forbidden as you can get, but rules never stopped flea bag before, and she's not about to, let them stop her. Now, tell me your sins if you want. Why would I tell? Because it will make you feel better. And because I want to know the second season of Phoebe Waller, bridge's amazing show, flea bag was somehow better than its first.
A lot of that had to do with the introduction of Andrew Scott's affectionately nicknamed Hot Priest. He's beeny asy? What is that? What that thing that you're doing? It's like you disappear. What are you not telling me the relationship between fle and the priest starts friendly enough. They're eventually pushed over that line, however, leaving the audience, wondering how things would turn out. The answer with one of the most heartbreakingly profound endings of any show ever.
I love you. It'll pass. Number 10. Alison Bailey and Noah Solway, the affair. You found me? No, I was. I was just out on a walk. Extramarital affairs certainly count as forbidden. When Noah Solway meets Allison Bailey at the diner where she works as a waitress. He's a happily married man, or at least mostly happy. Well, welcome to the end of the world.
Allison herself is trying to get her life back together after the death of her son, while cheating isn't cool. They like others on this list are captivated by desire. You're married too. That's right surprise. With the story told from the shifting, often differing perspectives of these two leads, it is a provocative look into the minds of people who know deep down, they should not be together. Let's dance.
There's no music There is music.come on, come on.come on. Number nine. Cole Turner and Phoebe. Hell, charmed. Phoebe. What's going on? I'm embracing my new destiny. The first, but not last, supernaturally starcrossed lovers. Cole. And Phoebe got off to a rocky start, as half-demon, soldier, belthazor Cole was sent after the Charmed sisters by the triad. Are you sure about this? You're giving up your life. My life is with you and our baby.
However, his human side emerged when he fell in love with Phoebe. And it began to be his dominant trait. Sadly, things couldn't stay rosy for long. We've been through so much together, haven't we? Her love's so strong. Nothing can destroy it, not even this. When he became possessed by the source of all evil. Phoebe temporarily joined him as an evildoer.
However, she would eventually break things off in a big way with the help of her sisters. I meant to be together. I don't think so. Number eight, zah Jarra and Nadia Jasim lost this dynamic and gamechanging series from the early 2000s, pushed the boundaries of long-form storytelling in many ways, with engaging characters carrying the addictive if at times convoluted plot. Nadia, her name is Nadia.
One such character is S, JRA, one of the Oceanic six S and n Nadia Abed. Jasim first meet as children and schoolyard friends. As an adult, saH joins the Iraqi Republican guard. While Nadia is a freedom fighter against Saddam Hussein's regime. If you prove you're willing to cooperate, I think I can get them to free you when she's captured. It's's job to interrogate her.
Instead, he falls in love with her all over again and helps her to escape, come with me. I can't this US. They would kill my family. Number seven. Ned, and Charlotte, chuck Charles, pushing daisies, or he need to be happy. You. Ned's got a very particular talent with the touch of a finger. He can bring the deceased back to life. Charlotte, aka Chuck was the girl next door.
And Ned's childhood crush, sadly, in adulthood, she's murdered, so, ned takes it upon himself to resurrect his onetime sweetheart. There is a catch. However, another touch puts anyone. Ned has resuscitated back down for good. Despite being in love, they can never touch, not a kiss. Good night. Not a little hand holding at sunset. Are you watching me sleep? No, sort of. But mainly it was just waiting for you to wake up.
And in the process of waiting for you to wake up, I was, yes, I was watching you sleep. They come up with creative ways to be in contact. Smooch through a body bag. Anyone, but they are still playing a dangerous game of. Keep away. Can you give DbY another hug? Oh, yeah. Of course, I will. Do. You want a hug.come on, tighter, give his belly. A rubber rubber number six. Tom Branson and Cibil Crawley Downtown.
Aby, it won't be long now. So will you wait! I'd wait forever. This is the classic tale of two lovers from opposite sides of the tracks. Syil is the youngest daughter of a well-established aristocratic house. She might have progressive views, but her future path seems set for her until she meets Tom Branson. The new chauffeur.
It seems rather unlikely a revolutionary chauffer maybe, but I'm a socialist, not a revolutionary, and I won't always be a chauffeur. An Irishman, and outspoken socialist. He is in many ways against everything. The Crawley family represents in society. Sometimes a heart sacrifice must be made for a future. That's worth having. That's all I'm saying that's up to you.
However, despite their different backgrounds, they have similar political minds, and it isn't long before their romance blossoms, in spite of her family's initial disapproval for now. God knows It's enough that I can kiss you when they're discovered. They do everything they can to stay together. Finally achieving their happy ending. If not for long, don't leave me. Please wake up. Love, please don't me. Number five, olivia Pope and Fitzgerald Fitz, grant scandal.
I think the love allows for forgiveness. Don't you? With a name like scandal. You know, this show is going to be filled with salacious secrets. Olivia Pope helped Fitz, grant, make it to the White House, but their professional relationship crosses lines and leads to a scandalous affair. You almost died. Yes. Don't do it again. Okay, but once the stump speeches and the election are over, who's still jumping into bed is another thing. Kiss me. Olivia.
You know, you want to Washington, DC is a hot bed of secrets in political one-upmanship. And despite all the work to get Grant into the Oval office, an extra-marital affair could mean the undoing of everything they built. Number four, dianara, dia Diaz, and John Bennett. Orange is the new Black, you shouldn't really be out here. It's okay. I wanted to see you. Every relationship has its own power.
Dynamic as two partners, figure each other out, which is why in situations where the balance is already unnaturally tipped, romantic relations are not typically recommended. That being said, this is a forbidden romance list. And Danet is an undeniably cute couple. John Bennett is or was a correctional officer at Lichfield Penitentiary. Dia Diaz is an inmate. Look at the dog. This is so great. You can already see the problem here.
However, despite the taboo nature of their romance, they communicate through notes and quickie, hookups. Dia becomes pregnant with Jon's child. A fact that could get Jon in serious trouble. We will probably never be rich, and we most likely live in a place that's not that big, but we'll work hard, and we'll love each other. And we'll find so much happiness that we won't even know what to do with it.
The strain it all puts them through is just as real as the love is. Will you marry me? Number three, ezra Fitz and Arya Montgomery. Pretty little liars like to know more about you. Yeah, I'd like to know more about you too ever gone out and met someone, really cute at a bar, someone you connected to, and with whom you shared interests, as well as had a physical attraction to on you.
Did that person turn out to be your high school teacher? Well, this is the situation that Ezra Fitz and Arya Montgomery, find themselves in. Holy crap, arya tries to do, what she feels is the right thing asking to be transferred out of the cute young profs class, because she doesn't think she could help herself, and doesn't want to put him in an awkward position. I'd like to transfer out of your class.
But the stars align a different way. And she stays. Professor. Student relationships are highly taboo, but we're sure, glad we got Ezread. Despite it. Number two, bill Compton and Sukki Stack House. True, blood. You're our first vampire. Am I that obvious? I knew the minute you came in. What's the only thing more complicated than friends, becoming lovers.
When one of them is a vampire, of course, even in a world where vampires have come out into the open, the situation is fraught with peril. And so many ups and downs, we don't even know where to begin. What are you? I told you. I'm a waitress. Sukki Stack House is a half fairy, half human, with the ability to read people's thoughts. Bill Compton is a 150-plus-year-old vampire. You'd think their supernatural status would be enough.
But in the end, theirs is a love story marred by tragedy, betrayal, redemption, and heartache. I always thought as different as we are somehow, we could still be together.

Re on your phone, make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications. Number one, buffy Summers and Ang-Buffy the vampire Slayer. I love you. I try not to, but I can't stop me too. Buffy doesn't just slay some serious vampire butt, but she looks good doing it. The teenage slayer is stumped. Therefore, when she encounters Angel, a vampire who is not like the rest, he actually seems to have a soul.
You're the mystery guy that appears out of nowhere. I'm not saying, I'm not happy about it tonight. But if you are hanging around, I'd like to know why. Maybe I like you cautious indifference turns to attraction. However, as it becomes apparent, they're on the same side, at least for a time when they consummate their love and his soul is suddenly lost, things get real bad. Real fast. I love you. I love you. Close your eyes.
It's been 20 years, and we're still not over the tragedy that was becoming. And Q, the Sarah MLin if we missed any of your favorite illicit affairs, let us know in the comments below.

Lilt348 Ezria is disgusting and so are you for adding them to this list
Most people see by now that Ezra statutory assaulted Aria
(and his creepy a knew how old she was when they met because he was spying on her and the other liars because he wanted to finish his book on ali another kid he dated)
It's sad that some people still think that this ship is okay, it's gross and that's the reason Ezra is the most hated character in the show now.
Aria deserved so much better

kamsismith Daisy and Billy from Daisy Jones and the Six. While not a full-blown series per se, it still counts. Billy and Daisy have a lot in common from growing up in broken homes to being very ambitious. They can't be together because of Billy’s wife, Camilla. You do want to root for them, but at the same time, Daisy has to work on herself for a relationship to work.
