All Soaps: Acting soulmates


Recommended Posts

  • Members

There's a thread like this on another board, and I know how SON love their thread's like this, so I figured I'd bring it here.

Who do you think have been acting soulmates on your soaps? Doesn't have to be couples, lovers, or even friends. It's all about chemistry, how the actors sold the storyline despite or inspite of the writing. How the characters were their best because of their interactions with the other person. Who do you think did it best?

I'll give my list later. LOL I'm afraid if I give it now, I'm going to scare people off.

And please, can we not turn this into a thread about one show over another. That's all I ask. This is about acting soulmates on all sopas. :)

Quite frankly, no couple on GL has had SO much chemistry as Maureen Garrett and Michael Zaslow (Holly and Roger). Their entire tortured and complex relationship simply would not have rung true with anyone else in the role. A distant runner up would be Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman (Reva and Josh).

Definitely. They really do have great chemistry. They always made their relationship as sisters so believable.

Oh, absolutely. They were so wonderful together.

My list:

AMC:

Michael E. Knight and Cady McClain. (I'm not T&D fan, but these two had it in spades. They were unfrigging'belivable together)

Marcy Walker and David Canary (Adam and Liza brought it, no matter what they were doing)

Vincent Irizarry and Susan Lucci (ever seen the D&E basement scenes? If you have, you're lucky and I rest my case. If not, you must. They brought out something in each other and their characters that no one has since, and IMO no one will again.)

Rebecca Budig and Alicia Minshew. (Kenlee, nothing more needs to be said)

MEK and DC

JR and Jamie (as little boys and most recently with JY and JB playing them)

Alexa Havins and Jacob Young (Love them, hate them, they got it)

Cam Mathison and Esta T. (God, I miss them)

I'll do OLTL and GH later. :)

ATWT;

Michael Park & Maura West - I don't like CarJack but they seem so natural together.

GL:

Tom Pelphrey & Stephanie Gatschet - I think they're acting styles were so complimentary. Pelphrey does tend to overact and Gatschet's subtle style brought out the "heart" in Jonathan's character.

Justin Deas & Ron Raines - Buzz & Alan are easily the best enemies/friends pairing on this show.

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK. 
    • For some reason I thought Sly had already passed. A true legend.
