We asked, you responded, and after more than 1.2 million individual votes, you've selected The Vampire Diaries Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Caroline (Candice Accola) as HollywoodLife.coms hottest TV couple of 2013. This is especially impressive when you consider that "Klaroline" isn't even technically a couple " each half of the ship is currently on a different show " but it only goes to show the tenacity of the fandom, and its desire to see the star-crossed lovers reunite.
Klaus & Caroline Win '2013s Hottest TV Couple' Poll
I'll admit, I haven't always been completely sold on the idea of Klaus and Caroline as an official "couple," but I'm slowly warming up to the idea. Originally, I couldn't get past all of the horrible things Klaus did " killing Tyler's (Michael Trevino) mother in cold blood, for example " but then I got to thinking: Hasn't Damon (Ian Somerhalder) done horrible things to the people in Elena's (Nina Dobrev) life, and don't we all continue to root for their happiness?
It's all a matter of how far you're willing to go to forgive a character's wrongdoings and give them a second chance. You could raise the whole "abusive relationship" argument, but let's be real: Klaus and Caroline live in a world in which vampires exist. The rules are different, and rationality is often null and void.
And those hoping for a Caroline-Klaus reunion might actually be in luck! Given the recent report that Klaus will be returning to The Vampire Diaries before the end of the fifth season, it's safe to assume he'll come face-to-face with his fellow winner this May. I know he's got a lot going on in New Orleans, but do you really think he'd pass up a chance to see Caroline?!
