I can't seem to get 031 - 016 when I clicked on it , it takes me back to 045- 031? Is this happening to anybody else? Great list Steve! And I definitely agree with the choices for #1 and #2. Bo and Hope and Doug and Julie are deserving.

Wow, how cool was that? Most of those couples happened before I was born. It was great to put faces to the names I'd heard about. What a great project Steve, thanks for taking the time to do it.

I #222, that was a pleasant surprise!

Same thing is happening for me as well........

I corrected the link to 30-16. I had the same link on there for both. Not sure how I missed that.

Thanks for the compliment Kylie. I enjoyed doing it. I wish I could have found pictures for all of them. Hopefully someday I will. I did find in another book today a picture of Peter Taylor & Diana Maynard from GH so I will be scanning and putting that one into place.

I am glad so many are enjoying the pictures. I started to not do them.

Oh and when I put David & Erica into place I thought of you Kylie.

It is fixed now and I am sure you will definitely want to see it.

So great to see so many couples from the past. Much more representative of the WHOLE history of soaps than those SID lists. On the other hand, the three great ATWT couples (Steve and Betsy, Holden and Lily, Jack and Carly) rate much higher in my opinion.

[SteveFrame]

Oh many of them rank much higher when my opinion comes into it alone. If had just been my rankings they would have been very very different. I forget how many people participated in this now. I had it estimated at one time. It was well over 30 people who submitted couples and helped to rank them.

So it is just a system of all of our rankings and votes that put them where they are at.

I advertised on 5 boards plus via e-mail.

I am sure if more people had participated the results may have looked different or if less people had participated it would have looked different.

Overall I am impressed by the list and like you said I think it represents the full history of daytime TV better. Is it perfect? Hell no. But I don't know if there would ever be any list compiled that would please everyone.

My Zendall is 28

Yummy you used a pic from one of my favorite Zendall scenes too-awesome

Awww I love that Zach and Myrtle made it, but IMO they should be ALOT higher than they were.

You did a great job with the list, Steve. I agree with all of it and will say it's pretty accurate. My mom and grandma used to love Doug & Julie and Mac & Rachel. Reading this list brought back some great memories for me. Thanks
