* This happened somewhat to Yue Ayase in the ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' anime. While it was just barely alluded to in the [[Field Trip]] arc (which is where they likely drew it from), the love triangle plot come into play much later in the manga.
* ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' anime adaptation has promoted Faldio to love interest in order to introduce a ''[[Love Triangle]]''. Not only totally unnecessary considering the existing romantic subplot, but it's become a rather large [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]. For instance, a rather epic battle in the game against an enormous overpowered tank was completely avoided in the anime to allow Alicia and Faldio time to flirt.

* [[Adaptation Decay|The film version]] of ''[[Queen of the Damned]]'' made the main subplot a romance between the two main characters who, in the book, do not speak.
** One of the many things altered from the book is the identity of Jesse's maker. In the book, it's her "Aunt" Maharet (a distant ancestor-turned-vampire). In the movie, it's Lestat. This was obviously meant to reinforce the bond between the characters, which was never there in the book.

* Averted in the film ''[[Shooter]]'' which is based on the Stephen Hunter novel ''Point of Impact''. In the book Bob Lee Swagger becomes romantically involved with the widow of his old war buddy. In the movie the two become friends and allies, but they do not fall in love with each other.
* The 2009 film of ''[[Land of the Lost (film)|Land of the Lost]]'' has a truly bizarre version of this. Rick Marshall has a romantic relationship with Holly, who was his prepubescent daughter in the original TV show. The movie makes them unrelated and ages her up, obviously, but one wonders why they even bothered to call her "Holly" at that point.
* In the 2009 film version of ''[[The Picture of Dorian Gray]]'', Basil and Dorian finally get together. This is completely justified by all the deliberate [[Ho Yay]] in the original book, as [[Values Dissonance|at the time,]] [[Oscar Wilde]] could do no more than insert [[Homoerotic Subtext]] to let the reader know what was really going on.
