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.

    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
    • @Efulton thank you. I don't know how I missed it or didn't recall it.  I'll blame amnesia . Anyway @Errol Could the newer thread be merged to the existing? Thanks in advance.
