1. Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert It took several seasons for this relationship to blossom, but it was well worth the wait. At first it was hard for some fans to get on board with their relationship because we were led to believe Stefan and Elena were soul mates and promoted as the main couple on the show. It felt like a betrayal when she went from one brother to the next, but once we saw these two together after such a long build up — our minds changed. The Vampire Diaries went from being all about Elena and Stefan, to the Elena and Damon show. Their chemistry was undeniable (probably because for a period of time, these two were dating off camera) and it was clear he needed her much more than Stefan needed her. She made the notoriously evil Damon a better man and their romance quickly became one of the reasons the show was so successful.
