WLS 50 Greatest Soap Opera Couples of All-Time

[MissLlanviewPA]

Definitely agree about the victim to bitch part. That always seemed so weird to me. BC nominated for an SOD as Outstanding VILLAINESS? As Beth? WTF?

And yeah, Cord & Tina should have been higher for sure. Cheap's gonna be pissed! LOL.

Todd & Blair have a shot of being on there, too, I guess.

I wonder if Cord & Tina being so low means Max & Gabby won't be on there at all .

[DRW50]

I hope not. I think Max and Gabrielle deserve to be on there. I'd put them on there before Todd and Blair, who have never done much for me.

Phillip and Beth were popular for more than a year, every other pairing they have had has had to live in the shadow of either one, and they def were popyklar in the late 80's early 90's!

[DRW50]

I know they had some fans in the 89-91 run, but I don't know if Beth was accepted compared to Judi. Their time as a huge couple seemed to be a brief moment in the sun.

Steve and Betsy at number 27? Ridiculous! That's the couple that basically drove the show for two solid years almost exclusively. Well, there are basically four BIG couples over ATWT's history (Jeff/Penny, Steve/Betsy, Lily/Holden and Jack/Carly), so I guess they're dividing them up among the top 40. It's just a question of who was really ATWT's signature couple now, Lilden or CarJack.

More updates, they're up to #18 now.

It's nice to see some Search represented. Sherry Mathis was possibly the most beautiful woman ever on soaps.

As much as I loved Jack and Carly, Lily and Holden were ATWT's signature couple.

[MissLlanviewPA]

PJ's going to be happy .

[DRW50]

I wasn't a huge fan of either one, so I would have gone with Bob/Kim, but I know I'm in the minority.

[Soapsuds]

Sorry PJ but yeah I agree and Betsy and Steve should have been ahead of Jack and Carly.

[P.J.]

Hey, I love them, and would defend their placement on any all-time list.

But I understand and appreciate the arguments for Holden/Lily, Bob/Kim, Steve/Betsy or Penny/Jeff. (I'd personally balk at Tom/Margo, but that's neither here nor there...) But I certainly believe Carjack is a top five ATWT couple. Which ain't bad.

But it's kind of hard to be happy, when this is all in the past.

Max and Gabrielle might have been okay in 1988. Max and Megan (this is a joke, right????).

The real deal was Max and Luna. I began watching this in 1992 and was amazed at the chemistry between James DePaiva and Susan Batten. Luna's August, 1995 death brought out the best acting I have ever seen on a soap opera (yes, Krista Tesreau delivered) that I have ever seen. Max and Luna probably won't make the cut but I have all of their stuff on VHS (0h, hell no to watching it on YouTube) and I am amazed every time I watch it.

[MissLlanviewPA]

Oh, it's on now!

Sonny and Brenda in top 20?

Who's left?

Jesse/Angie

Steve/Alice

Mac/Rachel

John/Marlena

Bo/Hope

Doug/Julie

Robert/Holly

L&L

Josh/Reva

Cruz/Eden

Nikki/Victor

Maro/Tom, Quint/Nola, Frank/Jillisn?

[DRW50]

Ugh, Sonny and Brenda suck. If their last stint didn't show just how bad they were, nothing will.
