Zach and Kendall

Loved them from the start and still have a spot in my heart for them, even though these days I'm really loving Kendall more without him.

Sonny & Carly

I loved this pairing and would welcome it with open arms again if we had one of the true Carly's back. The artificial, "Wright" one we have now...just no.

Gary/Valene - they had some chemistry but not enough to generate good story

Oh, wow. This was a genuine shocker. They were absolutely wonderful together and even better apart--their love and longing for each other was amazing.

:o:o:o

Ditto!

I liked Danny and Cricket less than all the rest but still...

I thought that it was more like a crutch, and the show often seemed to sacrifice Val's character so Gary could save her (Jill, Danny Woleska). Ted Shackleford and Joan van Ark were great together but the characters, not so much.

I think Val belonged with Ben and Gary belonged with Abby.

GL: Phillip/Beth, Richard/Cassie

GH: Sonny/Carly, Stefan/Katherine, Ned/Alexis

In the 'had chemistry but found them boring/could not care anyway' category:

SB: Eden/Cruz (at least not since JFP became EP)

GH: Sonny/Brenda, Jax/Brenda

I'm allergic to 'supercouples' in general (the whole 'supercouples'/'shipper' obsessions on daytime/primetime are my least favorite part of fandom experience) but I find them more bearable, even appealing, when they're integral parts of the show. It felt that way with Eden & Cruz when the Dobsons were in charge, but when JFP took over, it was apparent they were her whole and sole obsession and I resented the hell out of it.

It was an eye-opener (literally changed how I viewed soaps) when I switched from SB to GL in the early 1990s and realized you didn't need to depend on (super)couples to enjoy the hell out of a show.

The entitlement from supercouple fanbases (and i use that term loosely) ruined the genre. From the moment fans thought they could hold their respective shows hostage with campaigns to get their favorites together, and get catered to, ruined the true concept from eighties and early nineties REAL super couples.

  • Member

scherre I hope you can post in the SB thread some, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I was never a big supercouple fan. Looking back I think it may be what you mention - GL wasn't a supercouple show, not at its best anyway, and neither was ATWT. I ended up disliking most of their supercouples (Lily/Holden, Josh/Reva).

  • Member

I guess I don't get the definition of a super couple because most of these I guess never struck me as such. Here goes

Days

Jack and Jennifer

(even though I loved their chemistry, they got played out)

Y&R

Sharon and Nick

GL

Gus and Harley

AMC

Tad and Dixie

Rylee

Zendall

GH

Sonny and Carly (did like Sarah and Mo) but the couple grew tediious

Lucky and Liz

Jason and anyone

And agreed. Couple fan bases have played a part in ruining shows.
