But your posts suggests they are actively talking with Jason Cook. Which would be a breach of Jason's contract with ABC unless he's recurring. And for all we know Kirsten & Jason have no interest of returning to DAYS. Both of them ripped the show when they left.

And I never said your opinion didn't matter. All I pointed out was that it was all SUBJECTIVE. You're fine to think Kirsten Storms is a better actress and a better Belle. I personally find Kirsten Storms to be very limited as an actress and her Belle was a whiny spoiled brat.

As for the popularity, it's pretty much the same. For Kirsten fan you could find, I could find a Martha fan. They both had their big fanbase. I would agree with you about the Jason Cook vs Brandon Beemer debate, although I think Jason Cook is highly overrated. He could only emote anger and that was so over the top that it took away from any emotion that he was trying to emote. I'd prefer the show get a whole new actor for the role.

Days knows that - the 2000s younger generation was the last generation who garnered the show so much attention. In what world would Days not want him back? That's all I'm saying.
Well, it was also a period where people stopped watching the show all together as well. People were sick and tired of the Teen overload.

No, my post suggests they are interesting in nabbing Cook. It doesn't mean they're in talks with him, it means they are patiently awaiting development on General Hospital for the opportunity to make a move - 1: he is let go (and GH has severely underutilized him there in the past, so it is always a lingering possibility), or 2 ABC cancels the show, which would make Cook available to reprise Shawn.

I heard Jason and Farah ripped Days when they left, I never heard of Kirsten doing that. I know she prefers playing edgy characters like Maxie versus the Belle she played, however Belle wasn't as much of a little miss perfect as she was when KS left the show, so the character would be more interesting for her I think now. As for Jason (and Kirsten if she did indeed also trash the show), they were younger back then - in that environment many young actors get arrogant and immature. They've obviously grown since their time on the show, not to mention they're now facing a dying genre. I tend to believe they're much more humble and grateful for job opportunities than they would have been when they left.

Also, if I correctly remember, Bryan Dattilo (who I love by the way) also ripped on Days when he wasn't on the show. Granted, he was fired by them, but still... should he have been openly making fun of his past employers like that? :shrug: Probably not. But I don't see viewers complaining about his return because of it? He too grew as an individual since leaving the show, he realizes soaps are struggling, and he expressed his gratitude to be working on Days again. I think it's a general sentiment for all soap actors - their jobs aren't as stable as they once were, clearly they're going to be more appreciative, unless they have a personal life goal of becoming unemployed.

HOW do you know. You don't work for NBC. We have no clue if they are or not. Only Corday Productions and Jason Cook would know. So, unless one of them is spilling the beans that they're in talks then we have no clue.

It would be like saying DAYS is awaiting development on when Eileen Davidson would leave Y&R because she was very popular on DAYS.

I'm not saying Cook won't ever return, but there has been nothing to show us that they're itching to bring Cook back. If there is please tell me. Give me something concrete, so I'm not making a big fool out of myself.

Team Martha Madison. She was the best Belle. Loved her chemistry with JKJ!

lmao, that is THE most RANDOM assortment of couples ever, hahaha

Seriously, how in the world do Chloe/Lucas, Stephanie/Nathan (among many others) rank in the "all time couples" list? lol

And where were Mimi/Rex??? They were awesome, I don't care what anyone thinks.

I know I'm forgetting many others that SHOULD be on the list, I just can't get past the ones that MADE the list (somehow....)
My 2 old favorites-Brandon & Sami, and Chloe & Brady-weren't on there. :( I don't think Philip & Stephanie were on there either now that I think about it. I loved them.

Brandon and Sami & Brady and Chloe should definitely have been included over those random Lucas pairings that were never legitimate.

ahhh yeah, they were my two faves from back in the day too :)

Brandon will always be my #1 choice for Sami. Second Lucas. Third Rafe.

And Brady/Chloe, singing together and being all ott was just great; cheesy, but great, lol

I'd say both of these couples were tied with Bope & KS & JC's Belle/Shawn for my top 4 of the 2000s.

This list is rendered invalid by the inclusion of Shane & Kayla.

Among others..

Why not just call it 100 couples in Days history - because there sure are a lot of loser pairings in this list!

This is just my own personal opinion. I started watching days in the early 90s and 2 couples were the major stand outs for me. In terms of chemistry/angst/love Jack and Jennifer were my favorite. In terms of love/fire/passion....Lumi takes it. I was never a huge Sami fan on her own...sometimes the drama is a little OTT..but she brings a LOT of passion to the table..in most of her relationships on the show..not too many of the men had her same "energy" so the relationships seemed forced and not believable. Bryan and Allison however have the same energy..and INCREDIBLE chemistry together they bring more heat and passion than I've seen with any other couple on days. Carrie always struck me as dull in the romance department...so Caustin never excited me too much. I'm really looking forward to Bryan coming back

Calling this list the Top couples is laughable, Especially when one looks at how they are Ranked... Heck some are not even valid couples, And some are not even there.. WHERE are Shawn and Caroline ???? among others...

As for the JasonC/KirstenS debate... For me They will always be the TRUE Shawn and Belle.. Or "Shelle"
BB was awful... and Martha was "OK" But better with Philip.

I dont know if they will but I would LOVE LOVE it if eventually they returned to DOOL.
But knowing these writers they would ruin them too.

:puke: at Goldilocks & Jen. How on earth did they make it on an "all time' list? They are just two characters randomly shoved together and forced down my throat.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

There is no rank to this list. It was probably done by an intern needing to kill time.

As much as I hate them, they were not the not the most ridiculous couple in those pics. Lucas/Chloe? Nathan/Stephanie? And the absolute most VILE couple ever, Shane and Kayla?? :puke: :puke: :puke: Who thought putting those couples in there was a good idea?

No Calliope and Eugene, Roman and Diana, John and Kristen, Tony and Anna, Tony and Renee, Marlena and Don, Neil and Liz (but Neil and Amanda?), but a whole bunch of newer couples. I know I've quit watching in the past three years, but have they really established that many decent couples?

I guess it's a double-edged sword and Days certainly doesn't want to admit that the old days (pardon the pun) were that much better.
Absolutely on all of these, especially Tony and his two women, Renee and Anna!

Also Mike and Robin, Mike and Trish, Josh and Jessica, Alex and Marie, Chris and Savannah (lots of wasted potential there) hell even Alex and Emma (who were fun and snarky) over some of these crap-tastic couples.

ITA! I love the old school couples because there was considerable build up behind the pairings and you rooted for them to get together. Not so much nowadays. I LOVE the Doug and Julie pic with her in the bikini! Holy hotness, rock it sista! And she still looks gorgeous.

I was surprised to see Abe and Marilyn McCoo on there, although I like Marilyn. It was nice to see a few photos I hadn't seen before, like Doug/Addie (Pat Barry looked so much like Frances Reid there), and Chris/Stephanie (does anyone else wonder if they were just including every Stephanie photo they could find and hoped she was the same character). I thought Kitty was some type of hellbitch who made life awful for Tom Jr so not sure how they got there. I had to laugh when they used a modern day photo of Marlena and Alex North for Marlena/Roman. Just sort of reminds you of the wasted potential in not bringing Wayne back as Roman.

Did you notice the coins on the bed with Doug and Addie? She used to have dreams that Doug married her for her money (which he basically did and she knew it up front) and was going back to Julie.

Man, Doug's a jerk, lol, I didn't know that's why he was with Addie! Now I'm hoping he gets his comeupance.
