Others, meanwhile, are stuck with the opposite problem: They can't decide just who to love, given multiple options on the romantic table each week.
It's a problem that afflicts D.C.'s most dogged fixer. It's an issue that makes it challenging to exact revenge in the Hamptons. It's an obstacle that makes it difficult for Queen Mary to reign.
We speak, of course, about one of television's most common tropes: the love triangle.
One doppleganger. Two brothers. A never-ending back and forth between fans over who should be with whom. Yes, Damon has seemingly won, but come on: there are plenty of Stelena shippers out there.
Aiden may be dead, but that's not stopping The Powers That Be at Revenge from putting Emily Thorne into a love triangle between her first "love" Jack and his former cop partner Ben.
It's no secret that disabled vet Daniel Sousa has a crush on future S.H.I.E.L.D. co-founder Peggy Carter. But the SSR office's top agent, hunky war hero Jack Thompson.
Felicity sure has a thing for vigilantes, no matter how much she fears for their safety. Oliver and Felicity have danced around the idea of dating. Despite his professions of love, Oliver still doesn't believe he can be in a relationship, and he is getting into bed with Malcolm Merlyn, something Felicity does not approve of. Meanwhile, there's Ray who showers Felicity with gifts like a nice dress and a huge office. He is still getting over the death of Anna, but he doesn't carry the darkness that Oliver does thanks to five years on the island (and other places).
Regina thought she'd finally put her Evil Queen days behind her and found her happy ending with Robin Hood. Even Tinkerbell once told her it was her destiny, that was until Emma brought Marian, Robin's wife and mother of his child, back from the dead. It appears that Regina’s happy ending will have to wait.
This one gets more messed up by the minute. Mary Jane has never let go of David and vice versa. Anna is knocked up by David, but still has a guy she's hanging onto in Australia. Mary Jane + David = Hot. Our vote? They're in it to win it.
The day Will and Sonny got married it all seemed so right. In front of family and friends they made a commitment to one another but then Paul came to town. Sonny's former lover still carried a torch for him so the last thing we expected was for him to end up in bed with Will! Can Sonny and Will's marriage survive or will Paul and Sonny get a second chance?
