All: Unsung Couples


Recommended Posts

Couples who had potential but seem to have faded away or who had more story to tell.

Days' Bill & Laura comes to mind for me because more could have been done with them after both fought so hard and finally got together after much heartache, secrets, and lies only to remain divorce 30+ years later. Doug & Julie, Neil & Liz, Roman & Kate are also others come to mind.

No they almost did. They got close following Michael Cambias' death. Nothing came of it though but I was hoping they'd get romantic

OLTL: Max & Gabrielle 2.0 (or is it more like 4.0 or 5.0? Argentina, Convent reunion, NW Max reunion, 2001 reunion...let's say 5.0, lol)

In any case, 2003. All those months as friends, subtle hints that Max wanted Gabrielle again (I don't know if it was written that way or if JDP just played it that way, but it was there), hints they might have an affair and set off a Bo/Nora/Max/Gabrielle quad..and then nothing (oh, except for their son being killed off, of course). And with Max/Gabrielle NOT being reunited in the end (as opposed to Bo/Nora AND Cord/Tina), I'll never be able to fully get over that mad.gif .

AMC

Frankie/Madison (Their story should've continued with Madison having his baby!)

Caleb/Krystal (They literally just stopped. And it was disappointing.)

Adam/Krystal (It's a shame Krystal cheated on him with Tad and ended up having his baby instead of Adam's! Krystal & Adam were GREAT.)

Annie/Aidan (Things could've turned out so differently for Annie if she would've chose Aidan over Adam, I've always wondered just how different...though I still consistently loved her stories when she was a Chandler. LOL)

Griffin/Kendall (I really disliked them at first and then grew to love them & it's to bad Zach had to rise from the ocean and ruin the momentum they had going)

JR/Kendall (Before he almost killed her, though while watching the current 2007 eps that are airing on SOAPnet, I still think they could've had a chance. In this story where Josh is blackmailing Kendall to break up JR/Babe and get Babe back with Josh, I wish Kendall & JR could reconnect through it. These scenes they just had were SO good & they have so much chemistry even when mildly sparring with each other.)

OLTL

Natalie/Jared

Brad Vernon/Cassie --they were kind of flirty while working together helping David and Jenny during the Vienna storyline...I wished they had done more with that.

Gabrielle/Father Tony Vallone

GH

Ryan/Felicia - I always hated that they turned him into a psycho killer and stuck her with Mac. But right before that, they were sort of dating, even though she had amnesia. I thought Lindstrom and Wagner had great chemistry. Even when he played Kevin, I still wanted to see them get together.

AW

Gabe/Lorna

RH

Jack/Rose

Jill/Seneca - for a very brief time right at the beginning, while they were close friends, they seemed perfectly suited to each other....but RH insisted on Jill continually obsessing over Frank and Seneca's controlling personality going to extremes

Days: Emma and Alex. There are some glorious clips of them together. Unfortunately, it lasted only a few months and Alex would have his second dead wife (and nearly identical!) situation in three years.

No one will probably remember this, but I really enjoyed the brief building up of Philip (Kyle Brandt) and Cassie (Alexis Thorpe) on DAYS, before Higley came in and ruined it.

    • I don't remember that. What I recall is Alan living at Revabend, working as a farm hand and listening to Reva b!tch about money. Truly, I felt sorry for Pilon having to play that.

    • on ryan’s hope, when kate mulgrew (mary) became pregnant in real life it was written into the show. she gave the baby up for adoption, but mary had the baby (ryan) so, when she returned to the show she had to play a happy new mother. can’t even imagine. 
    • I have not found the time to listen to the whole thing myself, but I was tinkering with the Youtube AI helpbot thing (which in the app I found by swiping right on the Comments). The high level summary didn't point to it but it let me ask what she had said about Constance Ford and although its paraphrase was inaccurate it did point me to the mention about 52 minutes in. The only thing she said in relation to Ford that could be construed as negative was that when the interviewer asked what she had thought of her she started with "you devil!" and where she had gushed about how lovely she found practically everyone else, she just said that she hadn't really known Connie well and had never sat and talked with her. She also mentioned earlier that originally she had been very friendly with Jacqueline Courtney but they had later fallen out.
    • Gloria Monty started using tape editing but I doubt that was straight away. Maybe a few weeks/months in. Did Gloria hire new directors?-I would imagine so. She stated that she located the old tape machines used for the late night ABC Wide World of Mystery videotaped movies (some of which she directed). That meant that scenes could be shorter and chopped up, rather than one long scene playing start to end. Lamont was recast, probably with a more dynamic actor and the Mark/Katie story continued till mid 78. Marland brought on Dan Rooney, Susan Moore and Gary's brother Howard. Also Chris Robinson took over in May. So Marland pretty much followed his rules-not making any major cast changes and working/refining what was there. Laura killing David was really the first big story that boosted the ratings.
    • Her description was a bit off but it was 52 years ago so we can give her a pass.
    • Oh. Ok. I just looked at the article. Thanks. Perhaps they changed Jack's name to Stuart, added a daughter and had them all have different hair colors.
    • Thank you. That's what I thought because of the year but who was "Jack with the three blonde daughters"?
    • You can watch it here without an app: https://www.cwtv.com/shows/tv-we-love/dynasty/
    • There are so many beats that could be played with relationships and history b/w  characters. But cast/set restrictions (and loust writing) are destroying that. Really liked seeing Jack and Nikki catch up. Trouble is, in the current version of Y&R it had to continue the entire episode. Hearing Lily talk on the phone to Maddie-how much better if we had actually seen the kids during Cane's return. Would the original actors return for a short stint? Maybe not and perhaps they don't feel a recast would work. All of this could have been avoided by letting BF be a new character. For the amount of difference it's made , there was really no need to bring back Cane.
