Major families you disliked

[NothinButAttitude]

Yaass! Those were my stories too. And don't forget about Joan Collins coming in playing Alexandra and the infamous Ex-Wives Club episode! That had to one of the best episodes on GL in the show's last few years. I didn't care too much for Reva's time travel story but it didn't bother me as much as it bothered many. It was OK. Not great but OK.

I detested the treatment of the Carver family and the Grant family on Days. I think the one family I detested was the Walker-Mendez on Days..., oh and the ever growing Jonas family!

[NothinButAttitude]

They didn't bother me personally but I know a lot of people hated the Carlino clan on Another World. Especially hardcore Jake and Paulina fans. I didn't hate Joe but I didn't care for him. He was a chauvinistic pig though. Sofia was alright too, but I just hated how she was the modern day soap "Mary Sue"--naive, clueless, righteous, and saccharine. Plus, I was team Maggie, so that didn't help. I did grow to like Sofia though when she was paired with Matthew. She annoyed me opposite Nick.

At least Nick and Sofia didn't end up together...though that might have changed if Dahlia Salem hadn't left the show.

[NothinButAttitude]

Do you think they would've ended together had Dahlia Salem stayed? Because I didn't.

I think towards the end of the show, they moved Sofia out of Nick's orbit altogether. Plus, wasn't Remy (Paulina's daughter) on the show by then and vying for Nick's attention?

[amybrickwallace]

Yeah, Remy was the one who Nick was with when AW ended. I don't know if Sofia would have stayed with Nick had Dahlia Salem stayed on, but I didn't like them together. I think they brought out the worst in each other. I know that when Sofia was involved with Matt, it was Jeff Phillips' Matt initially. Did she still have any interaction with the character when Matt Crane came back, or was she already off the canvas by then?

[NothinButAttitude]

I think she did interact with Matt Crane's Matt if I am not mistaken. I might need to look it up, but I think Sofia was being written off when Matt Crane reprised his role, so they might've interacted at the end of her arc/exit. Because I think after Sofia left is when they tossed Matthew into Lila's orbit. Correct me if I am wrong....

ETA: Never mind. Sofia left in Nov '98. Matt Crane came back the following month towards the X-Mas episode.

[amybrickwallace]

OK, thanks for clearing that up - though I could've sworn that she interacted with Matt Crane's Matt Cory before leaving the series. I do know that Lila was involved with three Matt Corys - Brian Krause, Jeff Phillips and Matt Crane.

One Life to Live - The Santi clan in 2004; The Ford brothers from 2009 to 2012.

As the World Turns - Can I just say 1996 and leave it at that?

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Guys. The thing about Scott being adopted and didn't count was a joke. I was just basically saying that ass hole ran in the Chandler family bloodline and Scott didn't get that because he was adopted. It wasn't that I didn't think that Scott mattered.

[cassadine1991]

Oh, I see.

[slick jones]

The Eckerts, the Fords, and the Mayers on ATWT. I couldn't stand wishy washy Noah, Winston Ameera or Cheri

[Mitch]

Oh God, Jordi and his pec implants..made Carmen look like a boy!

I didn't like the Santos but there was germ of a good idea in them, as the Spauldings as the main provokers in SF was getting old, and they had assilmilated so much with other SF families. An family of "outsiders," especially ethnic ones were a good idea, but as is usual with Rauch'e GL, it was too over the top and unbelievable. I also would get a laugh out of Carmen's countless attempts on Michele's life and since Carmen was so non-scary, all Michele would do is pout and stamp her foot. The Winslows sucked more then Prince Eddie at Inferno's (or as Carmen would say, EN-FUUR-no") Glory Hole.

But the family that I hated the most then those fly by nights was the annoying Coopers. Harley and Frank were Nola and Tony all over again, but when Justin Deas came on the show to eat it whole...but later when Wheeler came on and they became the new Bauers..gagggh, I HATED that family!

[katie_9918]

The Coopers were awesome right up to the minute that damn Buzz showed up. And Frank and Harley remained awesome for a little while after that. I liked Lucy, but she was no Harley. Hell, post 1993 Harley was no Harley.

I HATED the Santoses, every last one of them except for Father Ray. I'll never forgive them for making me hate Michelle Bauer (something Rebecca Budig somehow never quite managed).

The sister act of Reva and Cassie really grated on my nerves, those self-righteous shrews.

The Domecq on Loving

Gosh I really disliked both of them. I didnt mind Rio as much because he was ok with Rocky, Trucker's sister, but his generic sister made Teresa Lopez-fitzgerald seem like a prize
