Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm not talking about couples where an actor wanted to leave the show. I'm talking about a pairing where an actor was fired, or the show just for some reason decided to break the couple up and move them into separate stories. Some fans in the AMC thread were mentioning this with David and Erica, that they were split up because of Bianca's lesbian storyline, supposed to reunite, but the show never did. I guess another would be Erica and Jeremy, who seemed to be extremely popular, and then yanked apart and never hinted at getting back together again. Were there any which stood out for you, or really annoyed you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 There seemed to be a lot of love for Bobby and Nikki on Y&R as he was the first guy that was a viable option to Victor.But they went with Bobby and Brittany. Paul and Cassandra were built up as a major couple but as the story meandered along,Cassandra moved toward Victor and then Brad before being killed off.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 May not be hugely popular but Aidan and Kendall on AMC instantly come to mind. They had alot of momentum back in 2003, but then Ryan returns and they instantly end as she's put back with him. GH's Jason and Liz back in 2002 when they put him with Kung Fu Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nikki was never an option for Bobby (though she should've been) & he was with Brittany long before Nikki. Paul & Cassandra were together when she died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ghfan89 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I think Jeremy/Erica ended because AMC was going through a change in headwriters as well as producers around 1986/1987. Speaking of AMC, I would add Brooke/Edmund to the list, although it wasn't so much that they broke up as it was they didn't get back together or play up the triangle more with Maria after Edmund had married her. It would've been preferable to all the endless baby woe, anyway. Not a couple, but I think it was a mistake for GH to get rid of Decker -- I can't remember though if that was the actors choice or Gloria Monty's.

Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 She claimed that Michael Watson wanted to leave - she seemed a little defensive about that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9hLjAsxqIw&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Breaking up Brooke/Thorne was a huge case of lazy writing, and it seriously damaged Brooke's character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Now you know Donna wasnt messing with her son. Even B&B hasnt gone that route with the incest yet.... Im guessing you meant Justin. I wouldnt say those 2 were popular at all though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Brooke still hasn't recovered. Give Brad time. This IS the soap that had Ridge in love with his DaughterSisterLover Bridget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieM Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 AJ and Courtney had a pretty good fan base. But then Guza became HW and the solution was obvious: Once again belittle AJ and have the woman who loved him choose Jason the Great over his loser brother. Also, I think Ben and Valene from Knotts Landing is a good example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 It was over for AJ & Courtney once she started stripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 thats assuming both characters will even be around long enough. Marcus is nothing more than window dressing and Donna, well....she's useless with Brooke and Katie around as the lead Logan sisters speaking of which another abrupt end to a couple at that time was Jax and Skye so they could recreate his romance with Brenda. That one still pisses me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Brad isn't afraid of letting characters overstay their welcome. *cough*Nick&Jackie*cough* Or bringing back characters for relationships that don't make sense. *cough*Jake&Whip*cough* AND she got ROBIN'S Emmy!
