Couples That SHOULD Have Been Supercouples

Jake and Judi Evans' Paulina on AW (sorry, juniorz1, Cali Timmins bored me to tears). Jake and Paulina were the best AW couple since Sally and Catlin, but TPTB preferred Jake and Vicky, for some reason.

YES! I loved this couple.

Lexie/Nathan

Nathan as in Nathan Horton (Mark Hapka) or some other Nathan? I always thought Renee Jones could have steamed it up in another coupling beside Abe and Lexie, possibly with Shawn Christian's Daniel, but I never remember sparks from any shared scenes between Lexie and Nathan.

I like HBS...I just don't think she has chemistry with her male costars. There was something definitely anti-chemistry about her pairing with Scott Holmes. And I loved the Hal/Margo friendship so much, it would have been ruined by anything "romantic".

I don't think Hal/Margo ever would have worked as a long-term couple but there was something with Hillary and Ben in the roles that blurred the line. There is a beautiful scene towards the end of her run where Craig asks her if she can understand what it's like to love two people at the same time. Margo doesn't say that much, but she clearly does, and has for some years.

With Ellen and Ben it was always much more clearly friendship.

I wish we could have seen more of Maura with Shawn Christian's Mike. At the time I thought they had strong chemistry, heat, but I also loathed Rosanna. If Rosanna had not been around I'm not sure how I would have felt.

I also really, really, really, really, really wish Andrew and Megan could have been a couple on OLTL.

On Days, any combination of Brandon and Lexie or Brandon and Sami. He was HOT with both women. I thought there was serious potential in Days going the supercouple route with either one.

Ditto on Austin and Greta. They had the makings of a classic love story. She played such a great and genuine heroine and he was the white knight type. The show should have never ended them. I kinda felt the same way about Greta with Eric

I also think EJ and Nicole have potential. Not so much bc of the writing bc of the hot sizzling chemistry between Ari and James Scott

The first one isn't "supercouple", but...

I haven't seen them in a long time but when I first started watching ATWT, I was hooked on Linc and Lily (Heather's Lily). That I still remember them all these years later makes me wish the show had tried with them, instead of putting her back with Holden (no chemistry!).

I also think, if Paolo Seganti had stayed, Lily and Damian could have been a huge, complex, long-running couple on ATWT. IMO Martha had more chemistry with Paolo from 93-95 than she had with Jon from 85-08.

And finally, I know how popular Craig and Sierra were, and I like them too, but Scott Bryce and Liz Hubbard were pure fire and I would have killed to have seen them paired together, officially. Remember that scene where they almost had sex in the stables?

Deacon and Macy :wub: It sucks that Bobbie Eakes left within a year of her return bc those two had powercouple potential. They were unexpected yet soooo good together. I loved them taking on Brooke and Amber as they were a force to be reckoned with. Such wasted potential

Heather and Adam from Y&R. So much potential, they were ultra hot. But then they ruined that, and later recast both characters.

Sigh...I loved them.

JR/Annie,

Yep, although judging from that other thread I'm just gonna call them a supercouple anyway since the term seems to be applicable to just about anyone.

I always thought Bridget and Deacon (B&B) could've been a lot more.

JT and Brittany (Y&R)

I loved Brooke and James. I think that relationship ending for more Brooke/Ridge was when I really gave up on B&B.

Oh GOD no! I hated Brooke & James- SO BORING! He had much more chemistry with Hunter Tylo IMO. My FAVORITE part of the James/Brooke story was that Ridge was FINALLY the one to pursue Brooke and at that point, Moss/Lang were still smokin hot! That steam room scene where Ridge seduces her was FIRE! Plus that led to Ridge & Brooke's 1st wedding on the beach, one of the most beautiful and underrated soap weddings of all-time. Too bad it wasn't legal.

On Days, any combination of Brandon and Lexie or Brandon and Sami. He was HOT with both women. I thought there was serious potential in Days going the supercouple route with either one.

Hell to the yes! Matt Cedeno had FIRE chemistry with both actresses, especially Renee Jones! Remember all of Jones's moaning in their love scene? I LOVE that Lexie moans like crazy with whomever she cheats on Abe with- whether it be in fantasy or reality. She moaned with Jonah, Brandon, and Tek.

But for the long-term, Brandon/Sami has SO MUCH potential. IMO, he was her best pairing of all time and was the most suitable match for Sweeney.

ATWT

Jade/Will (I wanted a colossal Gwen/Will/Jade/Aaron/Alison/Dallas thing)

YES! I LOVED Jade with Will and was hoping the show would do a full fledged Gwen/Will/Jade triangle. Gwen was wearing thin by that time, as the producers had pimped the hell out of her.

Mike/Jennifer

Eww, hell to the No. I HATED them together, though then again, I'm one of the biggest Matie fans EVER. But I preferred Jenn with Dusty regardless...

Can you blame her? Just like at Abe. No offense to him but he looks like he'd be boring in bed. Those men touched Lexie in ways she ain't ever been touched before!

Total agreement. Gwen got too boring too fast. She was always on the dull side from the very beginning, but once they were married, all the life was drained out of her. Jade should have exploited this instead of just relying on blackmail and fake pregnancy. As much as I loved them in the beginning, Will and Gwen turned out to be boring as all hell. Even their return engagement last year was nothing to get too excited for.

Tekxie was HOT. Lexie is too good because I would dumped Abe's ass long ago. Melaswen would have been the end of the marriage.
