Guilty Pleasure Soap Couples

  • Members

Ever had a soap couple that you knew was wrong in every way, but couldn't help but loving anyway because of the great chemistry?

For me, it was Jonathan and Tammy - GL's resident cousin-lovin' couple. I was all set to hate the very idea of half-cousins as a soap couple until those two sucked me in. (Needless to say, I left that show behind after they killed off poor Tammy)

Poor Sandy got thrown under the bus for Tammy and Jonathon not because of Jonathon but because of Tammy..he and Jonathon had a smoking sex vibe going on when Jonathon first came on the show..the only person the Sandy actor had any chemistry with was Jonathon. I remember when TP first came on the show and he was smoking hot in a trashy, "Uh, leave by morning and we will never mention this again" kind of way, he and Sandy had some antogonistic taunting scenes, (including Jon climbing on Sandman's bed and getting on top of him) that Sandy's eyes popped even more then they did before (and from the looks of it, I think other things were popping too.) A triangle with Tammy/Bi-Sexual Rent Boy Jon/Gay but in closeted love lorn Sandman would have been kind of hot. But then they took Jonathon from white hot street trash who looked like he would do anyone and anything, to a boring bad boy with a heart of gold who LURVED the dull and listless Tams cause she understood him yadayada. I wont even mention Lizzie and he and Jon went from a freak to some soap guy obsessed with his kid (didnt help that TP got a little uh, out of shape near the end and during his second run.)

Now THAT would've been hot 'n edgy! And yes, there was an uncanny chemistry between Jonathan and Sandy. You would've thought their secret past together was a sexual one. And yes, Jonathan did seem like the type of guy who would eff anyone, no matter what gender.

I will keep any trashy fanfic ideas to myself, reluctantly, but all the GL incest stuff reminds me again of how hot Richard and Edmund were (Jeffrey/Edmund, not as much).

More, more, please more! Haha... this trashy no-taste alternate Springpack universe is a lot more interesting than what they really served up the last 5 years!

Wait, so explain this Olivia/Blake vibrator scene? That was a REAL scene?

  • Members

The only thing that would have made that scene better is if Olivia had found the vibrator in the junk in Harley's trashed up "back yard."

With a note saying, "Don't open unless you're dating my niece."

Wow you really did hate Max/Luna...

Who didn't? Max & Luna were the WORST. Luna totally neutered Max. Thank GOD they brought Blair on for him!

And how nice that would have been on daytime to have a gay Henry and straight Mike have this nice, fun, goofy, flirty friendship. Nothing happens, just two friends, one who happened to be gay, and one who was outrageously hot who was okay with his friends unhidden admiration for him..

Henry to Mike as Mike is causally undressing in front of him while talking to him..."Uh Mike, there is something you should know..I'm gay.

Mike:"Uh yea, even Nancy Hughes figured that one out...so what?"

Henry, "Well then put your shirt back on , your nothing but a tease and there is only so much a man can take!"

It would have been amazing, sexy, and awesome.

Sigh. I miss Mark Collier so damn much. He's STILL one of my all-time fave hunk actors. Gorgeous AND Talented AND Single!

I wasn't a big fan of Max/Luna but I think JDP wasn't working in the rogue role by that time. Their first year or two of story worked. They just shouldn't have had them have kids.

I thought they were all basically the same dull characters, in different stories. Casting for women on GL in its last years wasn't too good.

No, they weren't, but out of the three that I'd mentioned, I'd have rather watched Tammy.

On a similar track as you RHKOL, I nominate OLTL's Max & Cord:

This was at the height of my Blair-hating days. Man, did I cheer Luna on when she laid her ass out!

Oh believe me, I would have kept the cousin-lovin' in and that whole triangle would have been one of the sickest one to hit daytime...to get all the goofy couple fans in an uproar, hell, I woulda thrown in Jefie O'Neil just to bring in the K-RAAZZY Brad Cole fans...remember the tats that both Sandy and Jon had that they shared with Jeffie O'Neil? Got to mean something right? So Tams is upset that her shrew of a mom is constantly screaming in her face about screwing her cousin (despite the fact that her mom was screwing the man who tried to kill both her sister and her nephew when he was a baby) so she devlopes some sad ass thing like anorexia or something, to showcase SG's remarkable command of "listless." Its all related to her screwed up first sexual encounter so she marries Sandman cause he doesnt want sex (cause he is you know gay.) But she just cant get the good trashy humpin she was getting out of big beefy Jonathon out of her mind...maybe her and Sandman actually do it, but she is not happy because you know, he is boring and his eyes pop oddly and it is very distracting.

So Jonathon seduces her and is banging her they think on the sly....but Sandman has a peephole which he has been watching them and getting off on it too (hell I would throw in his weird puppet just to round out this mess of weirdness...) Its revealed that Jon let Sandy blow him in boarding school if Sandy would write his papers, but Sandy is really, really, really in LURVE with Jon...one night after Jon has been drinking at that bad bar he owned (what the hell was the name of it anyway??) Sandy walks in and starts to argue with Jon about screwing his wife (but really upset cause he isnt screwing him) and they wrestle around a bit and it turns into "rastling," and Sandy shows Jon what he has been missing all that time...Jon "Maybe you should show Tammy how to do that," Anyway, security cameras film the whole thing and and the film somehow gets in the hands of an evil doer, someone like Dinah...who begins to blackmail both boys...

Well the whole mess of a storyline comes to an end when it is revealed that Sandy and Jon both worked for and had sex with Jeffery O'Neil (I would throw in a flashback of Jon calling Jeffie "daddy," just to go over the top with bad taste) and Sandman and Jon's drunken "hook up," is revealed at Reva's wedding reception to Jeffie (in a homage to both ATWT and the wretched Infinity plot line,) Dinah presents Reva and Jeffie with a HUGE flat screen TV...."But first, lets see what the picture looks like, lets roll this DVD right now to make sure,"

Reva is waddling more then usual as yes, miracle of miracles, her 50 something ass is preggers with Jeffie's demon spawn. Being Reva she needs to do something overly dramatic and stupid like run out in traffic (cue the Peapack videotaped "location shot,") in her Wallmart wedding dress crying,(again a homage to GL history) to get hit by Alex's limo...Alex looks up from her Wall Street Journal and says, "That was some big pothole" glancing up, "Who threw that bag of ugly clothes out in the middle of the street, driver, this is obviously the trashiest part of town, drive on before I see something worse!!!:" and the limo keeps moving...Back at the reception Rick remembers the night, back in boarding school when he gave Phillip did the same thing, and he eyes his best friend with renewed lust...

Hey, the show was going down anyway, might as well make it enteraining.

And yes, Marina, Ava and Michelle were boring, but dont forget Christina whats her name who had no point on the show. Wheeler just hired young girls she thought were cute and peppy!!

*subscribing to a full-season pass of your GL*

but all the GL incest stuff reminds me again of how hot Richard and Edmund were (Jeffrey/Edmund, not as much).

Is this worth me looking up old clips online just to see the unintentional hotness?

  • Members

I liked Luna and Max....ph34r.png

I loved them at least until all her post-death returns in the early 00s. I thought they were a good couple when she was alive

I admit, looking back that the post-death returns were a bit much. However, I was just happy to see a familiar face (especially since the canvas was infested with the Rappaports [minus my Lindsay, of course] at the time) from my early OLTL days.

There aren't a lot of clips, just episodes, so probably not. It is worth seeing DAM/Edmund's back end in slacks though.

I never saw the attraction to DAM. Diff'rent strokes, diff'rent folks. I prefer them pretty 'n plastic like Frank Grillo ;)
