Oh, this fun:
1970s: Bert, Roger, Jackie, Rita, Holly.
My fave couple during this period was Ed and Holly. It seemed to me very obvious they belonged together. They had genuinely fallen in love but the reveal about Christina's paternity wrecked their relationship. Fantastic star-crossed energy that got spoiled because Marland didn't want to write for Holly. I think they always should have been the end game.
1980s: Bert, Alan, Ross, Vanessa, Henry, Alexandra, Harley.
Fave couples:
Sorry, Billy fans, but for me, Ross and Vanessa also had a star-crossed energy that was never taken advantage of.
Alan and Hope: please remember I was very young at the time. My feelings about them as a couple are different now.
Rick and Mindy: the hill I will die on.
Alan Michael and Harley.
I would say Quint and Nola, but they were the type of couple who were done the minute they got married. But up until then, I enjoyed their romance.
I thought Henry and Bea were so sweet together. I wish they'd had the cojones to make them a real couple.
1990s: Bridget, Mo, Roger, AM, Annie.
I'm having a hard time coming up with favorite couples from this era. A really, really hard time. Which is probably a major reason I was a spotty viewer during this era.
I liked Phillip and Harley--Grant and Beth had terrific chemistry. But they didn't write for them very well, IMO.
2000s: Bill, Edmund (yeah, I liked him, shut up), Gus (THAT'S RIGHT, I LIKED HIM TOO).
Yes, I liked Gus and Harley. SHOOT ME. Also think the writing went against them.
YES, I liked Cassie and Edmund. I will admit I hated myself for it because Edmund was a sociopath, but the actors had fantastic chemistry, which was getting pretty rare on this show at this point.
I'll never get over what they did to Bill, putting him with [REDACTED]. At least they gave him a happy ending.
