Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I guess you couldn't call it abrupt, but I thought it was a mistake to split John/Lucinda and not reunite them. It took almost 20 years for them to get back together, in the show's last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Amen. Liz Hubbard had more chemistry with Bryggman than any other male actor on ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I guess you could say any possible Max/Gabrielle reunion was halted once JDP was fired in 2003? I'm splitting hairs here, I know. I guess Bo/Gabrielle fit here, given Fiona was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 GH - Carly & Lorenzo Y&R - Bobby & Nikki B&B - Brooke & Thorne, Bill & Steffy (so far). In the case of GH and Y&R, the popular CarLo and Bobby & Nikki pairings were axed as a result of internal power plays. Maurice Benard told a fan event at the the time that he went to "the boys" (Guza and Pratt) to get Carly back with Sonny because he didn't appreciate the pairing's popularity. Meanwhile, John Enos has hinted that Eric Braeden gave an ultimatum to Bells and Jack Smith over the Bobby & Nikki romance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 AW: Jake & Judi Evan's Paulina. All i can figure is that Jensen Buchanan wanted Jake back in Vicky's orbit -- and whatever JB wanted in those days, JB got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 DAYS: -Phillip & Belle: MM's Belle and JKJ's Phillip. Belle had divorced KB's Phillip and got back together with Shawn. Then Phillip & Belle had their steamy affair. They had loads of chemistry, but it seemed like Corday didn't want to damage his Shelle pairing, so he reunited Shawn & Belle and sent them packing. -Nick & Chelsea: One of the few good pairings by Hogan. Nick and Chelsea were great together. Then Nick got obsessed with Willow and then Melanie. It didn't help either when Nick slept with Chelsea's mom Billie. Then Chelsea fell for Jett Carver and Max. -Austin & Greta: I thought they were great together. I wish the show would have kept Greta around. -Brandon & Lexie: Smoking hot. Very soapy storyline with Lexie having sex with her stepson (Although, she didn't know he was Abe's son) then Lexie turning up pregnant. I wish they would have continued on with the pairing, but the show seemed like they wanted to redeem Lexie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Ooh yes, they should've continued with a Brandon/Lexie/Abe angle and brought out the revelation that they're father & son much earlier. Austin & Greta, Austin & Nicole, both couplings hinted at but never went far enough because he was still with Samantha Gene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 which I never got bc Sami was just so awful and I found nothing rootable about her with Austin. They should have kept him with Greta. They had the makings of being a very good couple and the best thing for him post-Carrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Bobby & Nikki were never together. However Braeden IS responsible for pretty much ending their friendship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 What's worse is last year Victor was telling off Nikki and mentioned Bobby along with David Chow and Deacon as bad men she's been involved with. Which was something further than the truth. Was Braeden in contact negotiations at the time, because I remember for a long time there in 2004 he was blabbing to the press he wasn't getting any airtime and Victor went off in search of Victoria for some time. Such a messy year for Y&R I don't remember quite well. Fox and Theresa on Passions, for some reason in spite of the heavy chemistry(Korman and Hartley ending up getting married in real life) the show never fully went through on it. Instead of actually doing something different JER went for Theresa/Ethan/Gwen round 12 which I thought was a mistake for any progress the show could make, and I knew the show was dead. Ed and Holly on GL in 2002/2003 after dropping Maureen Garnett to recurring inexplicably. I don't know how popular Mike and Jennifer got on ATWT but their split was extremely abrupt and they never shared anything else after that. Mike wasn't even around for Jen's funeral. Dusty and Bonnie on ATWT, I'm still trying figure that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 Days: Hope & Patrick (I liked them) Roman & Kate John & Isabella Jack & Sami (though not a couple they were good together) Lucas & Cassie (ruined by making them siblings) Deborah Adair's Kate & Tony (idk if they were going to go that route but they had chemistry) Deborah Adair's Kate & Jack - same as above. Don Craig & Maggie (Higley could have created a Victor/Maggie/Don story.) EJ & Arianna - it was something there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 Lucas and Cassie def. had potential, especially with Kate and Cassie's rivalry. But stupidly they gave Kate two more kids who are NEVER mentioned nowadays, and she and Roman literally have no relationship. Josh Taylor is so lucky he's one of Cordays bff's.

Members skiman12082004 Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 I am going back to some of the dearly departed soaps I loved but from Santa Barbara I would have to say Ric & Kelly were seperated way too quickly and they were popular. The writers decided to put Kelly with Robert. I also feel Fox from Passions got a raw deal with both Theresa and Whitney. And finally I think Port Charles broke up Jamal & Allison too quickly in favor of Allison and Rafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
