Caitlin Snow and Hunter Zolomon

Show: The Flash

Caitlin Snow is such an interesting character and yet it felt like The Flash spent a lot of its run trying to figure out what to do with her. You won’t find a more obvious example of that than the character’s appalling treatment in the final season, but a somewhat more subtle example came as early as the second season when she found herself in a rather sudden relationship with “Jay Garrick” (who actually turned out to be Hunter Zolomon, a.k.a. Zoom a.k.a. the big bad of the season).

The two definitely had chemistry but it never felt right pairing Caitlin off with another man so soon after the death of her beloved fiancée Ronnie. It also felt wrong that they gave her another tragic romance, as she spent the first season mourning Ronnie only to discover that he was alive before losing him again. So to give her a new love interest and have him turn out to be the villain of the season? Yeah, that never felt right.

The pair could have been one of the show’s strongest love stories if Caitlin wasn’t being underappreciated with tragic romances and Hunter wasn’t, well, a villain.

Verdict: WORST
