Cruz and Eden ~
I remember that soap opera and I loved it.
I was actually going to call my daughter after theirs

Audriana.. but ofcourse I never had a girl.. and i don't think my boys would have lasted long with a name like that. :lol:

I had to vote for Victor and Nikki from Y&R. Good heavens, will those two ever get together and stay together? Even when they are apart, they are together, meddling in each other's lives and harboring jealousies. More than twenty years and still going strong!!! :)

While I am working out I get to watch a little bit of Young and the Horny. I see they are still on the show.. but are they married?
Enquiring minds want to know!

Victor and Nikki are currently divorced, but they still can't seem to stay away from each other, Milani! :D

Hi.....I'm going to have to vote "other". My #1 favorite couple were Craig & Sierra from AS THE WORLD TURNS. Probably because Scott Bryce, who played Craig, looked like the guy I was dating during that time.

I also enjoyed Luke & Holly from GENERAL HOSPITAL. Their song was BABY COME TO ME...if memory serves me correctly.


Those were the only 2 soaps I ever watched ever!

I voted for Nikki & Victor and their tumultuous marriage. Nikki was and always will be my favorite character!

My vote goes to Hope & Bo from Days of Our Lives. I've watched "Days" for 6 years straight now and it's definitely my favorite soap opera, also my favorite TV show. Hope & Bo have been through a lot, and are still together today! :) Who can forget their wedding in, I think, 1984?

Although, my favorite all-time soap opera couple (from the mid/late 90's and early '00s) is Mike & Carrie from "Days". I even have a website dedicated to them: http://www.angelfire.com/ct/mclove/index.html (shameless, shameless plug). ;)

Great poll, 80sTrivia! :thumb:

I voted "other" for a few reasons. #1, I don't watch soaps, #2, Ok maybe, I did, #3, Well alright I do sometimes, #4 WHATEVER, so what if I do almost everyday?! LOL

j/k I catch a few minutes when my mothers watching it but, I don't know any of the characters. :p Although that Greenley, on that one soap I dunno which one, is beautiful. :D

I always enjoyed Craig & Sierra, too. If I remember correctly, they split up and Sierra married the sleazoid Tonio Reyes from Montega. :)

Victor & Nikki! Those two always seem to find their way back to each other. :lol: Out of all the soaps, The Young & The Restless is the only one I will watch from time to time.

Michael, this was so hard! I loved Bo and Hope, but I voted for Cruz and Eden because when I read the thread title they were the first ones I thought of. :lol:

I watched the NBC line-up religiously every summer! It was Another World, Santa Barbara, and Days of Our Lives .

What about Kimberly and Shane or Roman and Marlayna?

I was trying to decide if I should put Marlena in the poll, but I couldn't decide to put Marlena & Roman or Marlena & John Black , so I opted to include "other"!!! :)

I went with Luke and Laura!!!!

I wanted to be Laura and be wisked away by a "brute" and solve mysteries. Hey, I was only 11yrs old....what did I know?



Side to Ted:

Greens is awesome!! Even Aron gets into AMC....of course, I am sure that it is just an excuse to be near me!!! Greens kicks total butt!!:D

I know the feeling DD!! I also voted for Luke and Laura. I was big into GH in the early 80's. I was even "sick" for school on the day they aired the wedding! :D Haven't watched any soaps in years, but I have fond memories. :)

I've been a Luke and Laura fan since 1980, and I remember watching their wedding with my grandmother...I'll never forget that! That's the only soap I'll watch.

I also enjoyed Robert and Holly, and Frisco and Felicia. :thumb:

Scot & Charlene from Neighbours, Charlene is played by Kylie Minogue

Unfortunately, Neighbours has never been broadcast here in the States, so I never got to see Kylie... Wasn't Scott played by Jason Donavon?

Bo and Hope, definitely. I was a major Days fan, but man, John Black sure was sexy too. I also used to love Frisco and Felicia, and Anna and Robert Scorpio on General Hospital.

Bo and Hope go around circles too much, I used to watch "Days Of Our Lives" but they got on my nerves! :(

I forgot to add Frisco and Felicia to the poll. They made such a great couple, as the actors, Kristina Milandro and Jack Wagner, were a couple in real life. I read where they recently got divorced after almost fifteen years of marriage...

Hey Triv, what about India Von Halkein and Phillip Spaulding from "Guiding Light"? Now those two were a couple....from HELL!! :devil: Their relationship and antics were fun to watch and in the end I felt sorry for India and her conniving manners.

Bo & Hope by far.....the others don't even compare in my books.

This was a hard choice, I went with Luke & Laura from General Hospital. My other 2 choices are Jenny & Greg from All My Children & Hope & Bo Brady from Days Of Our Lives

Not being American I don,t know these soaps!! As far as I am concerned the best soap couple has to be scott and charlene from the cheesy australian tv show called Neighbours. You may know their real names Jason Donavan and Kylie Minouge.
