10 Most Romantic The Vampire Diaries Episodes, Ranked
For a show that revolves around drama and romance, The Vampire Diaries has certainly kept its viewers on their toes, with the writers creating new romantic storylines and changing the dynamic between the vampire lovebirds on a weekly basis.
And while most fans prefer to rank the show's romantic moments by storyline, we decided to pick 10 of the most heartwarming episodes of the long-running supernatural series instead.
As you may have noticed, most of the episodes in question revolve around one particular romance – that of Elena and Damon, of course! Yes, we are guilty of choosing Elena and Damon pairing over Elena's brief but beloved romance with Stefan, but so is most of the show's fandom.
It's no secret that the chemistry between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder was the reason The Vampire Diaries became a massive hit in the first place, as two young actors managed to channel their real feelings for each other into believable performances.
Of course, a ton of episodes centered around their undying love for each other seem a bit cheesy in retrospect, but the ones on this list still hold up today and serve as perfect examples of why people went crazy for the show for 8 long years!
