Death of the author? More death of the producer!
Modern television has given us many amazing queer characters and even more beautiful couples (Ian and Mickey from ‘Shameless’, Ray and Kevin from ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’, Arizona and Calli in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, and Sarawat and Tine from ‘2gether The Series’) throughout the years.
However, sometimes, there are characters and even pairings that we all know swing that way but are never acknowledged by the showrunners.
So, with indignation and devotion, join BLTai in rounding up our Top 5 TV pairings that should’ve been canon!
Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale (‘Teen Wolf’)
Who doesn’t know the ever-famous ‘Sterek’ ship that terrorized every teenager during the early 2010s? The pair are known for their electric chemistry seen in their charged banter, flirting, and saving each other as well as their questionable proximity throughout the series.
Just a bit disappointing that they never became a thing. Hello? Derek is an Alpha (wink)… the perfect opportunity was there!
Yoon Jong Woo and Seo Moon Jo (‘Strangers From Hell’)
Ever wonder how a cannibal psychopathic killer and an ordinary naive boy can have the most palpable tension and chemistry? Look no further! Although these two never kissed (boo), it is still worth watching Lee Dong Wook (Moon Jo) try to devour (both metaphorically and literally) Im Si Wan (Jong Woo). You’re welcome.
