Some tropes in Hollywood have been used so many times that you kind of grow bored with them. Other tropes still get used all the time but somehow find a way to reinvent themselves over time and stay fresh. The classic “good girl bad boy” couple trope is probably the best idea of this example. Let’s take a look at some modern and less modern examples that show that this old idea is nowhere near dead yet.
Blair Waldorf & Chuck Bass – Gossip Girl (2007 – 2012)
One can’t simply write an article without including our favorite upper eastsiders. Blair Waldorf, our forever Queen Bee fell madly In love with Chuck Bass, every girls dream during the nouhties and inbetweenies, because who can resist a well-dressed man with a very good taste in buying gifts for his girlfriend and who will do everything to see her happy. Okay, he had his faults: blackmailing, scheming and trading his beloved girlfriend for a hotel among some of them, but boy, did we love those B and C takedowns.
Elena Gilbert & Damon Salvatore – Vampire Diaries (2009 – 2017)
Elena was the definition of a good girl: do well in school, protect the people you love and don’t do anything crazy. Although she started the show dating Stefan Salvatore, she ultimately fell hard for his brother, Damon: your classic bad boy character. Dark hair, the leather jacket, piercing eyes, a sexy voice and really nice dance moves, because nobody puts Damon in a corner. Damon originally came to Mystic Falls to wreak havoc and watch the world burn, but turned around when hanging out with Elena.
