What’s with Teen Wolf’s Romantic Storylines: They’re Coming Out of Nowhere! Spoilers Galore
Scott (Tyler Posey) and Malia (Shelley Henning).
Ah, remember the simple times when Scott (Tyler Posey) was crushing on the new girl Allison (Crystal Reed), who was “bff”ed by the popular yet incredibly smart Lydia (Holland Roden), and Scott’ bestie Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) was hopelessly in love with Lydia?
Good times.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Teen Wolf. I’ve seen all the episodes. Even though some seasons and episodes provide superior to others, and the humor from the first seasons got overshadowed by the darkness and villains in the later years, it remained must-watch TV for me.
I’ll be sad to say goodbye to the show as when it airs its final episode this summer.
But no show is perfect, and things can get a bit weird after the show has been running for a long time. Just like it was weird to watch Caroline hook up with the killer of her ex-boyfriend’ mother/killer of best friend’s aunt and countless others in The Vampire Diaries, or that Joey and Rachel’s attraction toward each other came literally out of nowhere in seasons 8,9, and 10 in Friends, Teen Wolf has welcomed itself into WTF category with its couplings and decouplings.
Malia and Stiles had a sweet romance, which later got a bit more fiery and then what happened? I honestly don’t remember why they broke up. I don’t recall when they called it quits, or if they even showed that on screen.
Many of the hook-ups and couplings can be explained logically one way or the other. I’m quite fond of the thing going on between Melissa (Melissa Ponzio ) and Argent (JR Bourne).
But the one that got me to write this piece is the latest development between Scott and Malia. They are sooooo into each other. Have you seen the looks? Or the kiss?

Not that they don’t look cute together, they do.
But…
Since when are these two attracted to each other? From the beginning of season 6B…
When there are so many couplings in friends group, especially when best friends hook up with each other’s exes, I’m annoyed. And slightly amused at the same time. Were they bored?
I get that they didn’t exactly have the time to look around for dating people since their world is often going to hell, but come on!
After confirming that I wasn’t the only feeling like this, I decided to vent on my entertainment blog.
