"SuperCouples" You found Boring

Ew, you reminded me of another "Super Couple" I found boring.

DAYS

John & Isabella- she was a boring dog and the WORST coupling John ever had. How their love ever became iconic I'll never know. John had FAR more chemistry & potential with Marlena, Diana, and Kristen. Hell, I even liked him better with SUSAN than Izzy-B.

Don't forget Ashley & Cole, ESPECIALLY with Shari Sh!ttuck in the part. Though I don't think I'd consider them a supercouple! :lol:

The ONLY character Cole truly had chemistry with was Nikki, though the Victoria/Cole plotline showcased some EXCELLENT storytelling by Bill Bell.

CKLily and anyone. (Y&R) That girl has no chemistry at all. Not even with herself.

John and Evangeline (OLTL)

John and Marlena (Days)

Jack and Carly (ATWT) *ducks*

Jason and Sam (GH)

Sonny and Brenda (GH)

There are alot of couples that I never saw chemistry between, but I can't think of any others I would consider 'super'couples.

One thing I've realized in all of this is how many people list super-couples for Y&R. Yes Victor and Nikki are a super couple and probably Nick and Sharon, Neil and Dru, and Danny and Christine are too but for the most part I've thought of Y&R having supercouples. Ryan and Nina, Cole and Victoria, Paul and Christine etc. they were all merely simple couples to me in the grand scheme of things. Then again Y&R used their ensemble better.

I'm surprised I hadn't even posted here yet. For starters I guess I'll go with:

AW:

-Michael and Donna

-Joe and Paulina

-Dean and Jenna

ATWT:

-Holden and Lily after 2000 or so

-Mike and Katie

-Brad and Katie

-Hal and Barbara

-Noah and Luke

B&B:

-Rick and Amber

-Nick and Brooke

Beach:

-Cole and Caitlin

Days:

-Mike and Carrie

-Roman and Kate

-Austin and Sami

-Shawn and Belle for about 3/4 the time.

GL:

-Danny and Michelle

-Shane and Marina

-Frank and Eleni

-Alan-Michael and Lucy

Y&R:

-Cane and Lily

-Billy and Victoria

-Raul and Brittney

-Nick and Phyllis

-Danny and Christine

You BEST be duckin! The only man who failed the chemistry test with Maura was Jon Hensley, yet he still had more chemistry with her than Martha Byrne IMO

I agree on most, but I DO think the show and many fans considered Paul & Christine a supercouple at the time. They were pretty big in their heydey, location shoots and such, not to mention the Isabella storyline and its climax.

I concur that Ryan & Nina weren't a supercouple, but BOTH of the triangles they were involved in- Victoria/Ryan/Nina and Nina/Ryan/Tricia- were HUGE and storylines that lasted 2 or more years.

Oddly enough, Ryan had more chemistry with Jess Walton's Jill than ANY of his other leading ladies, yet the show foolishly never went there. It's one thing I HATED about Y&R always- they'd chem test people and never go there. It was ALWAYS couplings I wanted to see too- Ryan/Jill, Brad/Sharon, Brad/BE Ashley (I'm talking during and after her marriage to Vic- not her earlier years- wasn't watching Y&R yet).

Y&R had plenty of supercouples.

The difference with Y&R characters (unlike Days) are they're usually part of more than one supercouple.

Amen.

At its best Y&R had characters who moved beyond any couple and who always had those ties, sort of like an ache, but also had an identity of their own. A prime example of this would be Ryan/Victoria for most of the 90's (I disliked Ryan, more and more over time, but I thought the show did a good job of handling their relationship).

Now, characters sit there and die when they aren't in a relationship (Nick) and suffocate when they are in a relationship (Nick).

All of them.

Honestly, super couples are what i hate the most about soaps. I always find once they become a super couple they lose what made them as characters interesting and become one. Never more prominent than with John and Marlena becoming Jarlena and never being able to be individual characters again.

Not true...Mark Collier and Jon Lindstrom didn't either...the former has the interest of a pastry bag, and the latter *shivers* couldn't even get monkeys to throw poop at him.

I would also include John Lopreino, but then that was an awkward and bizarre storyline and recast and a big example of why I was not fond of FMB's era.

Ick...Loprieno...now there's a completely bad recast. Not that the original Brad had any either---but it really wasn't played with him in the role.

    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
