Oh, yes I agree, shows can make it after the couples get together BUT it take some talented writers who have thought it through to pull it off. Richard and Kahlan, in Legend of the Seeker, for example, seemed to work post-relationship (though they could never actually have sex which means the tension was still there).
I recognized the guy who played Sam and knew he couldn't stay on the cast forever but...I wanted to give him a better send off either way. Storming off seemed out of character for the sensitive doctor who was finally willing to take a chance with Jess.
