Santa- Keith'Gina    Mattson/Deas  were not only funny but also tender. Their scenes with young Justin Gocke (Brandon ) were some of SB's best.

            Cruz/Eden  ... A sweeping romance with two strong characters 

 

EON   Sky/Raven    Gabet/Malloy had a way of making everything they were given work.  From comedy to drama to romance, they always rose to the occasion.

Thank you so much for posting old episodes of Y&R and B&B!

They didn't last long and their ending was pretty awful, but I adored the short-lived romance between Hal and Emily on As The World Turns. They made each other's lives a lot better for a little while. Hal was exactly what Emily needed and Emily was exactly what Hal needed at that specific time in each of their lives.

 

Thanks to YT, I've also been impressed by the decades-long saga of AMC's Brooke and Adam. It was almost never pretty, but the show sold the connection they maintained whether they were together or apart at any given time.

 

Sami/Lucas will always be close to my heart, as will both versions of Eric/Nicole and Hope/Aiden 1.0.

1. Y&R's Victor and Nikki. No matter what they've gone through in the 35 years since their first meeting, you know they'll find a way back to each other.

2. B&B's Ridge and Caroline (1987-1990). It was their story that drew me to B&B, and the main reason I ignored Ronn Moss's horrible acting during the first three years of B&B.

3. GL's Roger and Holly. Although they weren't together during the years I watched GL (1989-1992), there were always hints of something brewing between them. A poster here once described them as the anti-supercouple and I totally agree with that.

Days-Bo and Hope.  Good chemistry, characters tied to established characters everyone already liked, and beautiful actors.  They weren't the best actors on the show, but they both took over every scene they were in.

 

General Hospital- Stone and Robin.  The most heartbreaking love story, and a couple you really rooted for.  Plus it was perfectly told, with an ending, so nobody came along and ruined them later with shitty writing or recasts.

 

GL- Roger and Holly.  The word I would use would be simmering.  With tension, anger, concern, love, they were always near boiling over.

    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
    • Another great episode.  GH has been pretty good this year, loading up the chamber, because now there's many bullets to fire, and another one was fired today when Nina found out Michael is the father of Sasha's baby.  I hope this secret comes out at the hearing.  I've also liked the slow burn with Gio/Emma. There's just so many things to look forward to on this show now.  GH is finally back to being really good. 
    • I'm all for it. Get them Nina!

    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
