Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Buffy and Spike #6 in Romance Hall of Fame Sci-Fi TV Couples Category

Like so many who find themselves numbed by their day to day existence, Buffy Summers’ search for a way to feel alive again eventually led her into the arms of a “bad boy.” Although not feelings in their purest form, like those she experienced with first love Angel (who will make an appearance later on in the countdown) fans witnessed over the years as revulsion between two former enemies turned into respect and lust transformed into a surprisingly tender love which ultimately renewed both their souls.

Actually I think Buffy and Spike were the Most Romantic Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Couple. Spike had a connection and feeling towards Buffy that Angel could never have. There was friction and tenderness between them. Spike and Buffy should have been the ultimate couple at the end of the series. Angel was too angelic and Spike had character.– Johnny

I really enjoyed watching these two on screen. Spike is very mysterious and sexy, Buffy strong and sexy. They made the screen light up.– Cathy

Passionate!– Katharine

Because they belong together even though Buffy didn’t want to admit to it!– Marie

The wife of actor Freddie Prinze Jr., the actress will soon add the title of Mother to her long list of accomplishments.

James Marsters– His stint as Spike having served him well, both on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and a reprisal of the role on the show’s spin-off series Angel, the American actor would continue in the sci-fi vein with appearances in Smallville and Torchwood. A love of music is also in Marsters’ blood, as anyone who has seen the Buffy episode “Once More, With Feeling” can attest. Once a member fo the band Ghost of the Robot, the TV heartthrob now performs as a solo act.

David Boreanaz– A five-season future on his own spin-off series Angel followed actor David Boreanaz after his final bow on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Today the star can be seen fighting crime as the all too human Seeley Booth in the series Bones.
