8 TV Show Headcanons That Fix Terrible Storylines

Shows need to take risks to stay relevant and keep the curveballs coming, but this can sometimes result in truly horrible storylines that make no sense for the characters in question — and yet there is a way to make it all right. Headcanons essentially exist to fill the plot holes or provide satisfying alternatives to the botched story arcs. For instance, Modern Family broke up Haley and Andy, only to bring Haley and her dim-witted high school boyfriend Dylan back together. However, it is largely accepted that Haley realized her mistake, divorced Dylan, and won Andy back somewhere down the line off-screen.
