Members mikelyons Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Soaps get a lot of crap, but one of the things they've always excelled in is portraying great friendships on their canvases. What're some of your favorite soap opera friendships? AMC: Erica & Opal; Mona & Myrtle; Ruth & Mona ATWT: Nancy & Katie (please don't shoot me) OLTL: Karen & Viki PASSIONS: Tabitha & Timmy Y&R: Dru & Sharon; Nina & Cricket; Ashley & Olivia (I'll ignore the Brad affair); Nikki & Katherine; Neil & Ryan; Colleen & Lily Edited May 21, 2020 by mikelyons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Cass, Felicia and Wallingford from AW own this thread. Others that I liked Passions: Theresa/Whitney and Tabitha/Timmy DAYS: Hope/Jennifer and Will/Chad/Sonny GH: Robert/Anna and Cam/Trina/Joss/Dev And although the writing could have been better, I did kind of like Thomas and Vinny on B&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 GL: Kat and Bridget (one of the reasons I was never fully on board with a David/Bridget pairing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 That was always complex to me - while Kat were Bridget were friends, you always got the sense that Bridget's friendship with David was a lot deeper and they were soulmates on some level.

Members soapfan770 Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 ATWT: Lisa & Barbara, Carly & Molly, and even though I really came to hate Katie, early Henry & Katie were superb. B&B: Sally & Lauren, Sally & Darla, Stephanie & Taylor GL: Vanessa & Maureen AW: Cass & Felicia, Rachel & Felicia Y&R: Katherine & Nikki, Rex & Jill, Nina & Christine, Ashley & Olivia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) ^ Cass & Felicia is my all time fave friendship! Edited May 21, 2020 by ChitHappens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vizion Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Katherine and Nikki drove me nuts. Maybe if Katherine wasn't always so pro-Victor I would have found them easier to tolerate but the way she shoved Nikki towards Victor and encouraged her to forgive him of any and everything was exhausting.

Members mango Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 GH: Emily and Liz So much history. Although the moments were short-lived, it such was nice seeing them as professionals, having a giggle at the nurse's station in between patients. Y&R: Sharon and Dru, Nina and Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 It’s funny: her friendship with Nina was Cricket’s saving grace on Y&R for YEARS. She was insufferable in nearly every other context, but LLB and TC were great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 David, Kat and Bridget has echoes of Bob, Kim and Lisa to me, although they're not exactly the same since Bob and Lisa were once married and had a son together. Similar in a sense that even though you got the sense that Lisa sometimes looked at Bob as the "one that got away" in a sort of "what if" type of contemplation, you knew that Lisa loved Kim and respected Bob and Kim's relationship. Other friendships that I loved were: Margo and Jessica/ATWT--I'm choosing to ignore that ridiculous Doc story Dru and Sharon/Y&R--Somehow it worked and I enjoyed it. Tom and Craig/ATWT--80s Tom(s) and Craig were like brothers, their bond was so tight. Betsy and Sierra/ATWT Jack and Leanna Love/Y&R (80s)-- The playboy and the misandrist, what a combination but both Lester and Crampton had such easy chemistry that you believed them as co-conspirators who actually got along famously. Colleen and Lily/Y&R-- They were sweet and the friendship should've continued. Another reason why it was so wrong to kill off Colleen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Some of my favorites, that were not related to each other- GH- Brenda & Lois Frisco and Anna Sean and Felicia Liz and Emily GH really thrived for the 1980’s and early 90’s on friendships. On that show the friendships were the families, because they had moved away from core families. DAYS- Marlena and Bo Billie/Jennifer/Kristen (early Reilly) AMC- Myrtle and Erica GL- Vanessa and Maureen (discovered through YouTube, they are now one of my all time favorites).
