When couples are put together by TPTB, it is with the hope that they will be liked by the audience. A lot of the time, that works. However, there are times when it fails horribly. No matter what they do, those couples are just hated. Sometimes, the course is stayed, like with Nate and Amaya on Legends of Tomorrow. Other times, losses are cut, like with Oliver and Laurel on Arrow.

A prime example is almost any couple on Supernatural. Special mention goes to Sam and Amelia, whose relationship was so hated that it was mostly shown in flashbacks. Mid-season, Amelia was written out completely. Note that neither Sam or Dean has had a real love interest since.
