WIred for Sound was a cool hangout-- I still remember when the B-52's performed there.
80s.
Quint and Nola-- among my earliest GL memories.
Beth and Lujack-- Lujack was like "The Fonz" with his coolness.
Jesse and Simon-- /jk
Harley/Josh did have chemistry together. I don't know where they would've gone with the pairing if RN didn't leave in 1991.
90s
Lucy and Alan-Michael. Lucy seemed like a consolation prize to A-M for not getting Harley lol, but they were a good pair together.
Phillip and Harley. At the time I was rooting for Phillip/Beth because of history but Pharley had a sense of fun that Phillip/Beth never really had.
Ross and Blake. Despite Blake's flaws, the couples baffling longevity became a cornerstone to the show much like Ed/Maureen in the past. Blake would be unfaithful but after Tori, Ross had no agency to shame Blake. Their relationship was more even-level after that.
00s
Harley and Gus. Gus was basically a replacement for A-M, like Lucy replaced Harley. Gus was like a blend of A-M and Nick McHenry. he was Alan's bio son like A-M, but like Nick he tried to maintain a "blue-collar" lifestyle the best he could.
Lizzie and Bill. This was the silver lining to Bill/Michelle being torpedoed by ConJob in 2003. The B/M pairing was never going to reach its legacy potential as long as that sap NSA was in the role of Michelle.
Hot takes: I enjoyed Cassie/Edmund and Tammy/Jonathan. I liked Tammy/Jonathan because the two actors did have chemistry together and that it was kinda taboo and naughty. The plot was similar to Ross/Blake, where Blake seduced Ross to get at her mom, Holly. Jonathan thought he'd seduce his cousin to stick it to his mom.
