Missed Couple Opportunities

  • Member

Seen this on the Another World Today facebook page decided to bring it here. Its on two characters who have that chemistry but the writers never go there with them. On the site Frankie & Ryan and Donna & Grant are mentioned, what couples missed their chance at love?

Ethan and Kristina together. I know they have flirted a few times but unfortunately no sparks have come out of that, However the BIG waste is the fact that Michael and Kristina could ever be a couple. Ignore the fact that they are "related" but i have always felt something more between them then brother and sister, unfortunately Guza and his mob obsessed nonsense is butchering that fact.

Micheal isn't Sonny son. So, if Micheal decides to be a Q just to get with Kristina.

You think they had couple chemistry. I felt as if they would have been great friends like Cass and Felicia, Marlena & Eugene, Phyllis & Michael, etc.

I agree. Jack & Sami's brief friendship was wonderful for both characters. I loved it. But i did not see any romance, and it really worked with the story too, the fact that they were faking romantic and nobody was buying it

I loved Sami & Tony.

Some that come to mind:

Passions: Gwen Hotchkiss and Hank Bennett, BIG WASTE THERE, considering that both the actors who played Hank (Dalton James, and Ryan McParklin), both had awsome chemistry with the actresses who played Gwen (Liza Huber and Natalie Zea) when he would flirt with her. That would have saved Gwen big time from the Ethan and Theresa Saga, but unfortunately JERk loved that triangle and turning Gwen into a psycho :(

I totally agree with that! Why they never pursued that, I'll never know. I remember reading once that Jerk never saw the actor's performing because he was afraid it would influence how he wrote the show since he had it plotted out long-term. If that is true, it's no wonder he was so hell-bent on keeping the Ethan/Theresa/Gwen triangle going because there were periods where Gwen and Theresa could have moved off into other relationships thus the show evolves. Novel concept LOL

I also liked Miguel/Whitney... they had a good chemistry in the early months of the show as friends.. but again the show stuck him with boring Charity/Kay triangle.. thus twarting any potential Kay would have had.

Ha, i had almost forgotten about Miguel/Whitney. They did have great chemistry when they had their scenes together during the shows first month, but yes unfortunately he got out of her orbit when he started getting more serious with Charity.

Another dissapointment with Whitney, was the fact that they never bought that Frank Lomax back from the shows first couple months, when Chad went gay for Vincent. They def had a lot of potential as a couple, but he left and Chad came to Harmony etc...

Sunset Beach's Meg and Casey. The show toyed with them but they were merely a diversion as the show as set on her and Ben and he with Sarah. Too bad bc I thought these two had potential and much preferred her with Casey over Ben

Adam & Nikki (Y&R). Before Adam became The Thing That Ate Genoa City, I envisioned him as a nice, well-adjusted kid from a good home who came to Genoa City (yes, after Hope's death), then slowly fell in love with the woman many consider to be his dad's greatest love. Imagine the drama between Victor and Adam, w/ Nikki caught in the middle. I'm just saying.

Maggie & Doug during the island storyline. I also remember the writers toying at Julie and Shawn during that time.

yes to the first one, no to the second.

i would have been down for maggie & tony on the island.

Austin & Greta on Days were a GREAT couple (although the Garden of Eden stuff stunk to high heaven). I really liked the actress (whose name escapes me). Physically, she could pass for Tea's sister on OLTL.

GH: AmnesiaNikolas & Catherine Bishop.

Sam & Lucky (as played by Greg Vaughan).

Lorenzo & Alexis (they always had a frisson of something between them).

TB's Carly & Zander.

B&B: Thorne & Taylor (back when Winsor Harmon first started).

Whip & Bridget.

Bill & Steffy (god help me, though I love Bill & Katie, too).

Felicia & Owen (they seemed to be hinting at a flirtation when he first arrived on the show).

Y&R: Ashley & CE's Adam.

VB's Heather & CE's Adam.

Sharon & Brad (MAJOR wasted opportunity!).

HT's Victoria & Michael.

Nikki & Bobby Marsino.

Jill & Ji Min.

Santa Barbara: Kelly & Jeffrey.

Eden & Robert (though I loved Cruz & Eden).

Oh no I didn't want Shawn and Julie I just remember them toying with it. Julie didn't want him herself.

Tony (the real Tony) would have been great with Maggie or any other woman on the show I think.
