5 Underrated Duos in The Vampire Diaries That Deserved More Screen Time

In addition to the main love triangle, The Vampire Diaries featured many compelling characters who managed to earn the love of fans. Whether these characters were short-lived or lasted for the entire run of the show, their personalities were well developed and opened up in interactions and relationships with other characters — especially with the main trio of Stefan and Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert.

The iconic protagonists also revealed their unexpected sides while interacting with recurring and supporting characters, making the show all the more exciting to watch and leaving fans wanting more.

Here are five duos from The Vampire Diaries whose chemistry was unparalleled despite the limited screen time they shared, according to fans on Reddit.

Stefan & Lexi

The warm, sibling-like relationship between Stefan and Lexi, who had known each other for over a century, touched many viewers, and that's why they were so taken aback by Lexi's untimely death at Damon's hands. Many still wonder how Stefan could forgive his brother after what he did.

Stefan & Klaus

Klaus and Stefan have come a long way from best friends in the 1920s during Stefan's Ripper mode, to mortal enemies, to forced allies. The two shared an intense on-screen chemistry, and many fans wanted to see them reunite after Klaus left The Vampire Diaries as a recurring character.

Damon & Enzo

After going through a lot of traumatic situations together, Damon and Enzo seemed to have a lot of potential to develop their tumultuous friendship. Fans are still disappointed that they parted ways early on, and we didn't get to see more of this unhinged duo.

Elena & Elijah

The mutual respect and admiration between Elijah and Elena helped these characters bring out the best in each other. After seeing the electric kiss they had when Elena was posing as Katherine, many viewers felt that it would be interesting to see where their relationship could take the characters if their arcs continued to intersect.

Elena & Caroline

Even though the two ladies are the main characters of the show and share a fair amount of screen time, fans feel that their friendship is underrated and deserves more. It is widely believed that Elena and Caroline didn't like each other, but there are many heartwarming moments that prove otherwise — from rooming together to calling each other out on their screw-ups, which is what only true friends do.
