Soap and Affairs and Marriages after Affairs


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I have a question I think only someone on this board can answer and be un-biased.

Affairs have been apart of soaps since as long as I can remember, I started watching soaps in the mid sixties. But I swear to hear some fans talk on the messege boards, a couple that marries after an affair is something new and they are the lowest of the low.

With only using current soap operas, how many soap couples have gone from affair to marriage?

Jackson & Erica (AMC) - she had an affair with him while married to Travis

Nash & Jessica (OLTL) - affair while she was married to Antonio

Luke & Laura (GH) - affair/rape while she was married to Scotty

Josh & Reva (GL) - affairs while she was married to Billy and H.B.

Bob & Kim (ATWT) - first had an affair while he was married to her sister, Jennifer

Tad & Krystal (AMC) - had an affair while she was married to Adam

I know there are others but I can't think of them right now.

GL's Blake and Ross - It wasn't a traditional affair (Holly and Ross were not officially dating or anything at the time), but it was still a huge blow when Holly found out the truth. Two years later, in 1994, Blake and Ross were married at the Courthouse.

I think it's pretty normal for an affair to lead to marriage. If the couple is popular, the audience will forgive the affair and want the couple to get together. Or the affair to marriage will lead to other drama on the show, no matter how unpopular the couple was with fans.

    • Angry Dante was hot; sorry, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't awesome seeing Dominic Zamprogna act his ass off in a way that was not crying.
    • Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.
    • Dante needs stick removed from his butt
    • When you bring up what I like to call "Shapiro's Folly" you think Dano's acting choices mattered? I ask because I don't think so. As far as I could tell almost universally the ABC fans hated the very idea of her being on all 4 shows! And, BTW, the headwriters also hated it, at least according to comments made by Passanante. But, it is not hard to imagine that they'd feel that way. And, I agreed. If she wanted success she should have planted "Rae" on one & given up her idea of branding, or whatever it was that she was after.  
    • Okay, well her reasons were that she had a mandate to reduce the size of the cast & she had another mandate to make the cast overall younger, so her reason for picking Donna to off was because she was too old.  So, is that what you understand? Or are you thinking of something else? Which if so, I would be delighted to hear about it!  She had arbitrarily picked 50 as the age people needed to be younger than.  And, that is why she got rid of both Bridget & Spencer Harrison.  And, getting rid of Bridget was another of her horrible ideas.  Why do you refer to her as the Face of the Show? Don't feel bad. I am a major Cass fan & I don't remember him with Donna either, LOL! Can we say forgettable? And, yes, Lila was the most last minute of last minutes!!!! 
    • This is AWESOME, thank you for taking the time to post this! My first thought: My memory is a lot better than I thought it was, LOL! The first episode I clearly remember watching had a scene of Ed confronting Holly about Christina's paternity. He lamented how wonderful things had been over Christmas, so looks like I started watching the show early 1976. The only thing puzzling me is where is Evie? I thought she was around BEFORE Rita got involved with Tim, but maybe that's one gap in my memory. It makes Rita look slightly better--in that case, she didn't seduce Tim knowing her sister had a crush on him.
    • Oh, well.  At least he can cry into his hoodie.
    • Sorry, just realized I'd somehow lost a whole paragraph in that last post.
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  They should have brought Billy back in the early '90s for more drama with Hart and Blake. Maybe Blake would have gotten involved with him to try to ruin him in Roger's eyes, but realize under his sweet nature, Billy was a player himself.
    • Checked. Taggert last date, Wed, 7-19-23, so a long dadgummed time ago.
