Ten Best Teenage Breakups on Scripted TV

Teenage heartbreak has entertained us since Shakespeare introduced Romeo and Juliet. Below are the best teenage breakups on scripted television:

Zack and Kelly

Saved by the Bell
Kelly dumped Zack during Bayside's Shakespearean-themed school dance after she found another Romeo. Close to tears, Zack whipped out his oversized cell phone and called Screech.

Brenda and Dylan

90210
While Brenda was munching on some French guy's Baguette in Paris, Dylan and his sideburns were getting busy with Kelly in Beverly Hills. Mutual cheating = two seasons of finger pointing.

Ryan and Marissa

The OC
This relationship hit the rocks when Marissa fell in love with a broke surfer named Johnny. Despite Ryan's devilish good looks and incessant sideways glances, he was unable to reclaim his lover.

DJ and Steve

Full House
This relationship ended when Steve went to college to pursue a higher education/easy sorority chicks. Luckily, DJ had the Jesse and the Rippers box set to quell her emotions.




Laura and Stefan

Family Matters
This star-crossed romance came to a dramatic end when Stefan Urkelle returned to his transformation chamber and turned back into Steve. Little did Laura know, Steve and Stefan had something in common - - Jaleel White.

Shawn and Angela

Boy Meets World
This interracial relationship came to an abrupt end when Angela's family moved out of town. Shawn spent the rest of the season crying in Cory's treehouse.


Vinnie and Blossom

Blossom
This relationship was pure, until Blossom found out Vinnie wasn't a virgin. She quickly moved on, and found a guy that reminded her of her brother Joey. WHOA!


Dawson and Joey

Dawson's Creek
These small-town lovers fell apart when Pacey admitted his love for Joey. Infuriated, Dawson expressed his emotions by making an artistic film full of metaphors that no one understood.

Angela and Jordan Cantalano

My So Called Life
Despite Angela's obsession with Jordan, she ended the relationship once the blue-eyed hunk cheated on her. He must have been preparing for those 30 Seconds to Mars groupies.

Kevin and Winnie

Wonder Years
All was swell until puberty hit the young couple. Kevin coped with the break up by riding his bike with Paul. Winnie coped by nailing the football team.

you and i totally need to have a blog interview about this list.

Lullaby:

What about Buffy and Angel? yeahhh... maybe he was about 244 years old, but she was 17 ;-)

You forgot Screech from Saved By the Bell and his blow up doll girlfriend he danced with...

HB:

You also forgot about Becca and Tyler AND Becca and Jesse from "Life Goes On". Of course, if the guy dies of AIDS, does it still count as a break-up?

Hi all!

Looks good! Very useful, good stuff. Good resources here. Thanks much!

G'night
