The WB/CW was famous for its iconic teen dramas, but if you look closely, there’s a pattern: every "soulmate" couple was torn apart by a charismatic bad boy. Whether it was Dawson and Joey, Buffy and Angel, or Elena and Stefan, each love story was disrupted by an irresistible rebel—Pacey, Spike, and Damon.
Dawson’s Creek: Dawson vs. Pacey
Dawson Leery and Joey Potter were set up as the ultimate childhood-sweetheart romance. But as Dawson clung to his idealized love, Pacey Witter—the snarky underachiever—swooped in, offering Joey something real and unpredictable. By the end, Joey chose passion over fate, proving that the best love stories aren’t always the ones you plan.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Angel vs. Spike
Buffy and Angel were a tragic, star-crossed love story. But then came Spike—sarcastic, dangerous, and, surprisingly, capable of deep love. Over time, Buffy’s connection with Spike became more raw and complex than her idealized romance with Angel, proving that love isn't just about destiny—it’s about choice.
The Vampire Diaries: Stefan vs. Damon
Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore were the definition of fated soulmates. But Damon, the reckless, morally gray brother, brought out a different side of her. Their love burned brighter, wilder, and eventually became the show’s defining romance, proving that the "right" person might not be the predictable one.
The WB and its successor, The CW, taught us one thing: soulmates may exist, but bad boys rewrite the rules.
