Home wreckers have been around on TV for as long as drama series have.
They come in various different forms and they all have a common goal: they want to the attention of their victims all for themselves.
How do the stakes change when the family of their conquest is revealed? It doesn’t. it just makes them even more irresistible to the home wrecker.
Have a look through the gallery we have compiled of some of the most memorable home wreckers on TV.
Carrie – Homeland
Carrie was crazy, and not just for Brody! She was obsessed with him on so many levels and she even shared some raunchy scenes with him as she tried to prove he wasn’t who he claimed to be.
Rafael Solano – Jane The Virgin
Rafael sprung into action to secure the love of Jane The Virgin, his baby mama. Yes, Jane was artificially inseminated and was engaged to some other guy. I think it’s fair to say there was A LOT of back and forth.
Edie Britt – Desperate Housewives
Edie was the definition of Desperate Housewife. Every time a new guy moved into the neighborhood, Edie would embed her claws into him and pull him her way. Married? That doesn’t faze her. Just look at poor Susan Meyer who had her husband stolen from her.
Lydia Davis – Revenge
Lydia Davis was an opportunist. I don’t believe she had feelings for Conrad Grayson. She wanted to replace his wife Victoria Grayson and reign over the Hamptons and get into the Grayson Global gravy train.
Ben Crawford – Secrets & Lies
Ben had a wonderful family, but it never stopped him from having some steamy encounters with his neighbor, Jess. Let’s just say that as much as he would like his wife to believe, it happened more than once and it was HOT.
Joss – Mistresses
How would you feel if a sibling got down and dirty with your significant other? Yes, Joss went there and things got steamy, but Savi won’t be anywhere near when the show returns. Her home is most certainly wrecked.
Olivia Pope – Scandal
Olivia Pope had many sordid encounters with the president of the USA. Fitz also happened to be married, so that was yet another home wrecked. These two have such a tumultous relationship that I wouldn’t be surprised if they just quit.
Shane – The Walking Dead
Shane went the full way with BFF Rick’s wife, Lori. Even when Rick returned to the group, he still wanted to pursue Lori and let’s just say they had several HOT encounters while Rick was just a short distance away.
Meredith – Pretty Little Liars
Long before Aria got hot for teacher, Meredith did for Aria’s father, Byron. She veered onto the crazy side and set out to harm Aria after several failed attempts to get rid of her.
Quinn – UnREAL
Quinn has been relieving the stress of working on Everlasting with the creator, Chet, but he has a glamorous wife who loves him very much. Will Quinn quit him before it’s too late?
Mary – Reign
Mary can never seem to make her mind up, can she? She’s had several hot times with Frances, Bash and Conde, but will she ever stay true to the man she chooses? I think not.
Barbie – Under The Dome
Barbie killed Julia’s husband and didn’t waste any time in getting between the sheets with her. Well, it’s not as if her husband will be popping up any time soon I guess.
Meredith – Grey’s Anatomy
Remember when Addison showed up at the conclusion of Grey’s first season? That was the moment Meredith Grey was branded a home wrecker, through no fault of her own!
Noah & Alison – The Affair
These two pursued each other and knew they wanted to take each other away from their respective lives. Neither of them gets a pass here and they are both heart breakers.
Emma – Dallas
Emma wasn’t happy unless she was ruining lives and boy she was good at it. Poor Pamela felt the need to have a threesome, but she got the last laugh on both John Ross and Emma.
Bart Bass – Gossip Girl
Sure, Rufus may have taken Lily away from Bass at the beginning of the series, but the two of them shared a sordid past. Bart made sure to get Lily one last time when he rose from the dead, but then he died for real.
Nanny Carrie – One Tree Hill
Nanny Carrie wanted a kid, that’s all, but she made sure to ruin Haley and Nathan’s life in the process of her sick quest. She manipulated several situations and left their relationship in ruins. What is it with crazy Carrie’s?
