Recommended Posts

  • Members

I don't know if these types of threads are usually done here; but with how dreadful the soaps have become I thought we could reminisce. Daytime has almost NO good couples right now, so I thought this might be fun! Which couples had you tuning in everyday? Which ones do you miss?

 

Here are my personal favorites:

 

5.Josh and Reva(GL)

4.Mason and Julia(SB)

3.Steve and Kayla(DOOL)

2.Luke and Laura(GH)

1.Jason(SBu) and Sam(GH)

 

Honorable mentions:

Jack and Carly(ATWT)

Tom and Margo(ATWT)

Greg and Jenny(AMC)

Tad and Dixie(AMC)

Bo and Nora(OLTL)

John and Marlena(DOOL)

Bo and Hope(DOOL)

Doug and Julie(DOOL)

Sonny and Brenda(GH)

Cass and Frankie(AW)

Ridge and Brooke(B&B)

80's & 90's Victor and Nicki(Y&R)

I haven't watched much daytime outside of Y&R, B&B and AW until recent years, so my list is probably a little generic, but anyway:

 

Ridge and Taylor (B&B, pre-2005)

Lauren and Michael (Y&R)

Cass and Frankie (AW)

Erica and Dimitri (AMC)

Bo and Hope (Days)

Dru and Neil (Y&R)

Sharon and Nick (Y&R)

What is generic about people discussing their likes? Current state of daytime leaves us with little positive things to discuss. Talking about favorite couples THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN not just read about is our prerogative. 

 

SFT...Cagney/ Suzi, Liza/ Kentucky, Liza /Travis

 

LOV... Jack/Stacey

            Alex/Egypt, Alex /Ava

              Shana/Dane

               Kate/Louie

 

AW    Cass and Cecile    comedic gold,  -- NF was way too talented to be let go

 

CAP   Kelly/Trey

TD   Nick/Althea

I'm more interested in the whys of people's favorites instead of seeing a list of favorites with no reasoning behind why they like whomever even if it is I like couple A because I found them hot, I liked couple B because I found them funny, and couple C would make me cry.  (I don't know if I'm explaining what I mean, but that's just my preference.)

Most of my favorite couples I enjoy because I get emotional feelings in a lot of different ways and not just liking them for heat.

haha I probably should have elaborated. My exposure to Daytime is not as extensive as I'd ideally like it to be, I'm not so sure as to how many we got out here in Australia besides Days, AW, Y&R and B&B. A lot of other gems are still a working progress. AMC's a new favourite though. Oh, the joys of YouTube.

    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.
    • If Leslie wanted to be super shady

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
    • That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.
    • In a 1997 SOD article, Ehlers mentions that she was asked to return several times, but was surprised she wasn't asked to return for her "mother's" funeral.  This was when she returned for the 60th Anniversary event. They were a really popular pairing for a few years ago.  As an older viewer, it seemed strange seeing Beth as the odd one out, but 1998 Beth was a totally different character.  She was written as a manipulative, vixen.
    • Unhappy camper!

    • It seems obvious based on the initial material that Korte was going to take another foolish run at Jason and Carly a la 2021 and hoped Mulcahey being back would make it work, as he wrote such famous material for Steve, Sarah, etc. I think a couple good dialogue scenes came out of them together very early on, but there was never any denying that Steve and Laura have never had and will never have any romantic chemistry, plus the audience doesn't want it. So they pivoted to her with that useless dayplayer (Brennan) and now here they all are, spinning their wheels doing nothing of value on the show. I do think PM had planned to do much more with Jason's sons and that rivalry/friction, but once he was gone so was Jake. I've rarely seen any of the core mob 3 feel so totally extraneous and directionless on the canvas. Not that I mind. Anything that makes Jason easier to get rid of works for me.
    • I just edited the 1998 SOD Awards & Laura Wright won Best New Character for Cassie on GL. Also Philip & Harley won something of some name for them as a couple & when they finished saying their effusive thanks at the mic, Grant picked Beth up & literally threw her over his shoulder & walked backstage that way. I mean, it's great that Beth Ehlers is a good sport, right?
