FLOVE your list.

For GH I would add Edward and Lila. And maybe even Tony/Bobbie simply because they were very popular, and because the BJ's heart storyline is arguably the most iconinc storyline in GH history.

[lovely_m]

For the Y&R list I'd also add Victor and Ashley.

For Passions Luis and Sheridan.

[Carolyn1980]

Numbers 1 and 2 for AMC have to be Jenny and Greg, and Cliff and Nina.

The others you mentioned don't even come close to the notoriety of those two.

[All My Shadows]

1. Holden and Lily

2. Jack and Carly

3. Tom and Margo

4. Bob and Kim

5. John and Lucinda maybe?

[Cheap21]

Duh! I completely forgot about Luis and Sheridan

For Y&R I'd add John and Jill for the drama their relationship generated for nearly twenty years. And what about Danny and Cricket? I'm asking more than suggesting.

[Mr. Vixen]

Took me a good 2 minutes to figure out what this meant.

[soapfan770]

LOL well I noticed GL missing so I'd go with:

1. Josh and Reva

2. Roger and Holly

3. Quint and Nola

4. Billy and Vanessa

5. Phillip and Beth

I would say the #1 AMC couple is Tad and Dixie. Their story spans across 3 decades. Bc of that many generations of fans have been exposed to them. Jenny and Greg and Cliff/Nina while should be on the list, I dont think would hold the top slot. They are a product of the 80s with many viewers after would have no clue as neither's story had any influence on the show after they were done. Tad and Dixie, while they ahvent been together in years, still have a presence within the show, one that hasnt been forgotten or ignored. They've helped define AMC since they first began in the late 80s and that lasted throughout the 90s and 00s. The same cant be said for Cliff/Nina and Jenny/Greg.

I thought of Cricket and Danny but I was hesitant to put them on bc honstly IM not too versed in Y&R history pre-90s. Im not sure how big they were when they were around

[Mr. Vixen]

+1 cheap. Totally agree.

[Cheap21]

Thanks. The only one I could consider bumping is Frisco/Felicia bc Luke/Laura are in there to represent 80s GH. Id go with Tony/Bobbie over Edward/Lila bc most of Ed/Lila's story was more about them interacting with their families and not so much themselves as a couple. Plus I got Alan/Monica to represent the Quartermaines and all their disfunctionality

[Soapsuds]

Luke & Reid Oliver

or is it

Luke & Reid Snyder

[Mr. Vixen]

I definitely wouldn't take out Frisco and Felicia. I think next to Luke/Laura they might be the most well known GH couple in history. If we're keeping it limited to 5, I would just consider Tony/Bobbie honorable mentions.

I agree somewhat about Edward and Lila. Most of the story was through their family, but the love between Edward/Lila was/is the kind of love everyone wants to have. They truly adored each other, and Edward still does. It's beautiful. And Lila, the polar opposite of Edward, represented the mellow part of the Q's, which made them iconic.

But I would agree that Alan and Monica are the definitive Quartermaine couple.
