I don't think a lot of the younger viewers quite understand the concept of "supercouple" in relation to soap opera couples. It seems as if soaps have been so determined to jettison the whole supercouple concept that it's now just a generic term for a soap couple that you happen to really, really, really like. A true supercouple has to adhere to a very strong guideline of INTENSE fan devotion (and corresponding front burner status) while haven't nothing but one obstacle after another thrown in their way to keep them apart (i.e. misunderstandings, sacrificing their own happiness for the other, a scheming/crazy ex, a suddenly pregnancy with the wrong person, a sudden marriage to the wrong person, etc.). In truth, a TRUE supercouple typically spends more time apart and longing to be together (either openly or secretly) than they do together. Bless Will & Sonny's little hearts, but I have never once seen longing from them. lol And their road to romance & domestic bliss has been a fucking cakewalk in the park, imo.
Amen to that! Nowadays you can find supercouples / supercouple writing only in some primetime series, Grey's Anatomy probably being the best example of the recent television history.. It's such a shame that Days has abandoned the concept of supercouples. Supercouples would make watching a soap so enjoyable and addicting.

I don't know how to post the picture...I swear it is something I am just not meant to do. But @wackywonton posted another shot of JS, that I may have looked at more than I should :wub2:

This popped up in my TL about the event (I'm paraphrasing) James said the guy playing Chad is one of the best actors that could carry the show and the Dimera's.

Let's hope they don't pair him with lame ass Abigail. She belongs with the boring vortex that is Rafe/Jordan/Ben. This might be a good time to bring back a non desperate version of Stephanie Johnson. They already have a natural angst, if they do it right and there's a good chemistry between the actors.

I will give him a chance even if I doubt anyway can replace EJ to me but you never know. Sometimes I really do enjoy other characters it just never on regular basis.

Jeebus...consider me perfectly fine with WilSon not fitting this definition of a supercouple.

Now, about the actor now playing Chad, going by JS's supposed words, I'm going to assume that CD will not be taking back the role...

EM is posed weird in this picture. Like he's got a really bad wedgie or something, lol.
I believe the caption for that pic said he was dancing.
Eric is such a cool guy. He likes to cut loose and have fun with the fans. So does shawn. Greg and james seem alot more reserved.

I can see that EM is dancing because his right leg is at the same angle
as the right leg of the woman next to him.
It looks to me like they're doing a side-by-side dance or a line dance.
Or just improvising doing similar steps.
That's just now it seems to me.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepWhy does Ari "need" to stay with Will and Sonny?
I'm a huge WilSon cheerleader. I joined twitter so that I could send support to both Chandler & Guy once the switch was made. BUT I'm also a soap fan.

When it was announced that CB was going to be exiting, there was no doubt the soap would find a way to keep Ari with the guys and I hate the direction they chose to make this happen. Why couldn't Gabi relocate to the Chicago office to pursue her modeling career and they all share custody?

I'm one of those WilSon supporters (and I know others) who feels that the writing for them has been slanted so that they always come out on top, and in the process of doing that DAYS has managed to make them boring. I've seen others call for a 3rd party to shake things up for them, and I wouldn't be opposed to that. I've seen them called a "supercouple" (if that word still holds meaning in this age of soaps) and I disagree. Their biggest obstacle since they began dating has been Nick. Big Whoop! The pregnancy secret was a blip because they worked through that in a month of air time. They haven't had a 3rd party actually scheming and putting effort into sabotaging their relationship, whether it be just for the hell of it or because they wanted of them.

As a supporter of this couple, I'm offended because they aren't treated like other couples plot wise. I've seen the argument that DAYS needs to be careful with how they portray them so as not to further alienate viewers or give a negative impression of the LGBT community, but to be honest, the only people who'd form a negative opinion of any story they're in are those who are already opposed to them to begin with.
WilSon is not dull.
WilSon is a supercouple. They don't need to be split up 10 times to be a super couple.
They have angst and I like what's been shown.
They have had third parties try and break them up... the biggest one being Adrienne.
Triangles are overdone and they're boring.
They aren't treated equal, but I think it's with the love scenes.

Okay, I said something instead of just using the thumbs down button. Opposing view stated. ;)
No. WilSon is an extremely popular couple with a huge fanbase (and one that I also happen to like). That said, they are NOT a supercouple.

Supercouples are written with a very specific formula that WilSon does not have. If WilSon were a supercouple, they would have been wrenched apart about 4 times by now, they would not have been married yet (and maybe not even have slept together yet), and they'd be angsting after each other so hard that no one would be able to stand seeing them onscreen without yelling at the TV for them to kiss already, dammit. People would be writing/emailing/tweeting/hiring airplanes with banners begging TPTB for them to be together, and in the meantime, we would watch them day after day (and potentially year after year) in relationships of one kind or another with interlopers whose purpose would be to keep Sonny and Will apart. And mainly, the people keeping them apart would actually be each other for some noble and selfless reason.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that popular, even hugely popular, does not equal supercouple.
But on a larger scale, there are no supercouples anymore. And in that context Wilson imo is the nearest thing of a supercouple these days we can have. They're stable, they clearly love each other, are committed and they're a unit of sorts.

How can two people be called a supercouple when they are always apart and not even a couple? Color me confused.

PS. Thanks for calling me a younger viewer ;) Too bad is isn't true. :P

I think they will probably do a Abby/Ben/Chad triangel. I liked Abby with EJ but I think the problem with pairing Abby with either EJ or Chad is that she is to much of a good character to fit them. Chad will probably be a rather good Dimera in order to fit her instead of the bad ass Dimera that I want he canīt put out a hit or Abby will freak out.

Because even when the couple was apart, the writers made sure that the audience never doubted that these two people belonged together. Like John & Marlena. Bo & Hope. And Days' last supercouple, in my opinion: Sami & Lucas.

Except that "stable, committed to each other and a unit of sorts"'is everything a super couple is not. A true and traditional super couple is anything but stable. And, for a good portion of the time, they aren't even necessarily committed to each other or a unit of any kind.

A super couple is certainly deeply in love, but the ability to acknowledge that is usually limited to brief intervals of happiness in between the eons of unrelenting angst. The stability comes only after at least two years of a roller coaster ride and then generally only lasts for a brief period after the wedding before the long lost spouse, child, or enemy shows up to blow things up again. True stability and happiness are the death knell of a super couple (generally signaling that one half is about to die and/or the couple is about to leave) not a hallmark.

As others have said WilSon is a very popular couple, but nothing about their story has fit the traditional super couple model. If you doubt this, go watch the first two years of Bo and Hope, Shane and Kim, Steve and Kayla, or Jack and Jennifer and compare for yourself.

Between the twin's conception, the Sydnapping, Sami shooting EJ in the head, and the EJabby affair, EJ/Sami definitely don't meet the definition of supercouple no matter how popular they are.
