Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 AMC Edmund and Maria Bianca and Maggie DAYS Steve and Kayla GH Sonny and Brenda Jason and Sam Patrick and Robin 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. 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.

Members Khan Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'll just say any couple after 1993 and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 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. Ditto! I liked Danny and Cricket less than all the rest but still...

Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 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.

Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 What do you think changed when JFP took over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scherra Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 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.

Members Money Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 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.

Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 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).

Members JaneAusten Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
