Beth/Rio is the pairing of Beth Boland and Rio from the NBC series Good Girls.

Canon

Fandom

By the end of the first season Beth/Rio was unquestionably the juggernaut pairing in this fandom.

In season 2, Brio became a canon pairing but they were not in a romantic or committed relationship, with Beth choosing her family over Rio. Many fans were unhappy with this. A small minority of Brio fans were accused of abusing the actor's wife on Twitter, following her appearance in a Good Girls episode, as an unnamed possible love interest for Rio.[1]

Common Tropes & Storylines

  • Post Season 1: Many continuation fics, focused on Brio's relationship as the two went back into business. Other fics imagined the two going their separate ways, only to meet in the future.
  • Many fics focus on Beth and Rio interacting more because of their children. This may involve their children attending the same school.
  • Alternative first meetings
  • Missing scenes
