The love interest – basically it does what it says on the box, because
the love interest’s sole purpose is to be romantically connected to one of the
main characters of whatever television show, movie, book or comic you’re
looking at. Occasionally he or more likely she actually develops into something
more but most of the time this character is simply a series of stereotypes with
a pretty face. As a romantic
subplot is expected in most stories this trope is fairly prevalent but
sometimes it would be nice if they ignored the love story completely rather
than included these shallow characters.
