Any pairing that involves Y&R's Victoria (Amelia Heinle). The soap press acts like 'fans' are all over Victoria's romantic entanglements (particularly if it involves her and Billy) and I'm like "which fans? Who says this?"

GH: Michael and Joss.

The show constantly presents them as leads that are always in the right, but they’re both just awful people.

Its not even like they’re written as grey characters or anti heroes either. They’re just awful 

And, I guess Robert Scott Wilson and his characters over at Days could be considered overrated as well.

I have to agree with RSW at DAYS.  I have accepted and enjoyed  plenty of attractive over talent guys on soaps over the years.  Prime examples being Austin on DAYS and Nicholas on Y&R.  But he is just way too forced for me, even though I do find him hot.  But that’s it.

I mean, I get it. He’s hot. Really hot.

But, just like with Michael and Joss, to write the awful characters that he plays as always in the right, and as the hero romantic lead when he doesn’t have the acting capabilities to play a romantic lead, it’s just gets tiresome and ridiculous after a while.

Thankfully, they’ve finally decided to write Alex as he should be written.

Sonny and Brenda (don't kill me @carolineg) but I just hate everything Sonny does. Maurice was off the charts hot back in the day but his acting isn't remotely impressive to me, Vanessa had charisma and spunk that made him okay to tolerate. And they had one of those annoying soap romances that suck all the air out of a room. Brenda always seemed on the brink when it came to him, actually most of the women he's paired with act like that. It's just annoying.

Nick and Sharon have no appeal to me. I don't think either actor is very good (everyone overpraises Sharon Case, I'm sorry), they're both so bland and generic.

I don't get the appeal of most couples on Days. They're all so saccharine when they're in love and their obstacles are always external.

I agree with this! I never understood the appeal of "Villy" at all!!! I thought they were wasting Billy Miller with Amelia's Victoria and her anemic performance. I never forget that time when Billy dragged an unkept looking Victoria through a bar to prove to her, he wasn't cheating.

Not until episodes of Loving popped up in the last few years, I would never know that Amelia was once so energetic and engaging as an actress. 

CIN on DAYS: I think Victoria Konefal is beautiful and an engaging presence, but I would've recast Ciara when she left the show. And I think RSW is a handsome guy but the characters he plays, and the way plays them make me ask myself why did they bring him back? 

That couple went through a decade worth of story in only three and a half years. Both characters needed purpose separately away from each other.

I knew it was only a matter of time before Brenda or Brenda/Sonny came up and I won't murder you because you did compliment Vanessa lol.  I obviously cannot agree, but the toxicity of their relationship doesn't hold up that well I suppose and in 2010-2011 they were overrated at least as far as what was shown onscreen.  There was a lot of hype, but very little actual development to their relationship.  Brenda should have moved past Sonny decades before, but I still hope they end up together when all is said and done.

I agree about Days couples especially John/Marlena and Steve/Kayla.  They are too perfect and wonderful and while I suppose at their age it makes sense, a lot of the reasons John/Marlena and Steve/Kayla were interesting were their internal conflicts and issues.  Orpheus/deadly diseases/kidnapping/etc every year doesn't make them exciting.

Truthfully Sonny on GH rules this topic.  At times, even at their most insufferable, I still found Jason and Cary watchable.  I have ff scenes with Maurice for almost a decade.  And each time I stopped watching the show for a handful of years since 2002 it was because of him.  I think he even had character defining scenes during Vanessa’s last year long return, but I skipped a lot of that because I was just so sick of Sonny.  Even Vanessa could not hold me !

AMC from 1990-94 had a lot of great stuff happening, talented performers, and some wonderful moments/episodes but I have no interest in revisiting it, especially all of the Wildwind stuff that took over the show. Only compared to post-1996 AMC does it feel like a golden era. 1995 was awesome, though. Everything afterwards can kick rocks.

Sonny/Maurice Bernard, they're the same right? Even when I first started watching, all I could think was why is this actress (Sarah Brown at the time) being wasted on HIM? Since then I always wonder how the hell he's been there this long? He should have been killed off years ago! He's marginally attractive at best and stuttering is not acting.

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. 
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
