The 8 Most Toxic Television Couples

Although TV is intended to be an escape from the problems of the world, in the case of on-screen relationships, couples are often miserable together, just like in real life!

But in the end, he goes to hell to acquire a soul (because that’s how it works) and everything turns out fine between the two of them!
