Soaps & Inappropriate Chemistry


Recommended Posts

  • Members

On some occasions, you will find two people on a soap who seem to have a large amount of romantic and/or sexual chemistry, but for whatever reason, it is deemed inappropriate, usually due to the characters being related, but also due to other circumstances such as a rape that occurred, or two actors of the same gender playing characters who are clearly straight. What are some you can think of?

Here are a few:

OLTL:

Tomas & Tea--They were supposed to be siblings, but TK & FL's interaction onscreen didn't always show that.

Todd & Marty--Inappropriate chemistry from the gang rape on between RH & SH, according to many viewers.

Victor & Marty--Similar reasons as above for TSJ & SH.

Schuyler & Starr--SC & KA sparked despite the fact that he played her teacher.

Tomas & Starr--Some saw something between TK & KA.

Max & Cord--There was one scene between them where JDP & JL had their faces close together--there was something there.

Blair & Tea--Forget Todd & Victor. With KDP & FL's chemistry, THESE two should have hooked up!

Mitch & Natalie--RB & MA had something there, but of course, it would have been all kinds of wrong given the circumstances.

GH:

Stefan & Alexis--Everything I've heard about SN & NLG together onscreen together tells me that it didn't look like they were related.

Now your turn!

Back during its original run, I was flipping channels and landed on 90210 and it was weeks later that I realized that couple talking on the bed were actually twins.

It also took me a second to realize that Steffy and Thomas were brother and sister on B&B. I wouldn't attribute that to sexual chemistry as much as I would to a lack of sibling chemistry.

There are better clips than that, I was just too lazy to look in more detail. They had very strong chemistry, especially when they were brawling. The only time Bradley Cole came alive.

For more "Kinks" you should watch Bianca's 2003 baby shower.

ATWT

Holden and Ellie (Renee Props) dated in real life.

More recently, Holden and Meg (Marie Wilson) had chemistry.

Y&R

Real life siblings, Heather and David Tom, once played Victoria and Billy. If either would return to their role, it would be awkward since Victoria and Billy are in a romance.

AMC, JR and Ethan. Scott and Young sizzled onscreen together which shouldnt have happened considering both characters were straight

Days, Will and EJ. Again Scott has chemistry with his male co-star. At least one of the characters is gay this time. I wish Days would play with this one

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
