Non-Canon Couples Week: Day #5: Victoria Vega and Beck Oliver

I never understood why on the Victorious TV series, Victoria "Tori" Vega and Beck Oliver were never a couple. They had an undeniable chemistry that sparked the moment they met when Tori accidentally spilled coffee on Beck in acting class on her first day of school at Hollywood Arts High School. That should have been the start of something between them.

Unfortunately, Beck was in a very dysfunctional and weirdly codependent relationship with mean girl Jade West. But that didn't stop fans (myself included) from hoping that Tori and Beck would eventually end up together at some point. Their loving friendship always seemed to unintentionally exude a fair a amount of attraction between them. They nearly kissed twice in the 3rd season episode "Tori Goes Platinum" which again should have started something between them. Despite, Beck and Jade no longer together, nothing happened between Tori and Beck and that's mainly because Tori didn't want to hurt Jade since they were friends.

Jade and Beck do eventually get back together to break up yet again which continues a cycle for this couple. In the long run, I don't see Jade and Beck staying together once they graduate from high school, their relationship was way too dysfunctional for it to continue. I think Tori and Beck would have been so cute together which is why they are still one of my favorite non-canon couples.
