I just feel like now the audience (myself included) doesn't care for having the show tell them who to root for. In the hands of a different writer, it could still work, but TomSell's idea of a supercouple is pretty obviously Dannifer, and I don't wish that on any new couple. |

I view Matt's definition as "super couple writing" but to me a super couple is a pairing that has made an impact in pop culture. For example, I don't watch General Hospital but I know who Luke and Laura are. IMO WilSon have the ability to be a super couple, they have made an impact outside of the soap world. JMO Ejami have never had super-couple writing. |

Ironically, I've always thought that DAYS started going downhill when Rabin left... |

Yeah, I get that. Especially in cases where a character has been around the block a few times, and it's going to be hard to sell them as having one true love. The reason I think it could work in small doses, though, is that ericole was getting the start of supercouple writing and they appeared to be really well liked. And I think Days could have taken it all the way and made them into a modern, successful SC. It's just such a limiting formula though, so giving every character a soulmate just isn't going to work.

Yes. I forgot about to list them, an oversight on my part. |

I think that picture is misleading because there are more pics & he looks to be only 1/2" or so shorter than EM, GG & SC. In one pic, he has his arm bent and he would give EM a run for the money for best guns. Sorry but I too have no idea how to bring those pics over to show you. |

I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but I just finally read the current SOD & there's a "Catching Up" interview with Kevin Spirtas (ex-Craig) and he said he would come back to the show if asked. Immaneed this show to get right on that ASAP. |

I realize that TPTB and various media outlets keep claiming WilSon had made an impact on pop culture, but have they really? I mean, I haven't even heard them get mentioned at Days events I've gone to, and I can't imagine that if I weren't a Days viewer I'd have the slightest idea who WilSon were. |

That Corday's not interested in making Days a successful show. That's how I read it anyways :P |

Debby O'Connor is the person who does the GH fan events, and she's doing the Days fan events that are happening in June. MM and Lily are a part of the Days fan weekend (I know...) so she's probably publicizing that. |

I felt that the Santeen storyline was a bit of supercouple writing for Ejami that made them soulmates, but they havenīt gotten any since then at first I was just glad that they put Ejami together last year but now I can see it would have been a lot better if they had made a proper build up first and they shouldnīt have written EJ to be such an ass last fall. Still even if I would have loved for Ejami to have gotten super couple Writing Iīm not sure if it really fits EJīs character he is suppose to be a bad villain not Everett the romantic guy. I Think it hard to combine villain and romance. |

Why not keep Chad away from any woman on show.Stephanie should not be wasted on lame ass Chad if they keep writing as the same chacracther and Abby she will always his second choice after they wrote Melanie as his love of his life. I do not get why they did not recast Andrew or one of Ssonny brothers instead of Chad Is not not need at all |

I'm sorry, absolutely no disrespect to anybody but the fact that to supposedly be a "supercouple" you have to follow all these rules and guidelines is just amusing me. "You don't get to join this group because you haven't suffered enough." It just has me thinking that there are some clinging to old traditions and that's perfectly fine, obviously, but I certainly don't care about a favorite couple of mine being held to an old set of rules. Supercouple or not it's all just somebody else's opinion no matter if the label gets used or not.

Very true. And even if you look back to the Bo/Hope/Carly triangle, after a brief initial "let's try to get the fans to like & want Bo to be with Carly" arc (and boy did Tomlin try his hardest to force that pairing on people), it was obvious to everyone that Bo still deeply cared about Hope and that Hope wasn't ready to fully let Bo go. We saw it first in the hospital scenes where Hope had been admitted after having boxes fall on her during Vivian's escape (this was the same day as Melanie & Philip's wedding). There were quite a few conversations between Bo & Carly about Hope, again showing that Bo still cared deeply. And then there was a large shift after the NT Hope reveal where everything in Bo's life started to revolve around trying to keep Hope (a) out of prison (which wasn't gonna happen since Hope was determined to pay for the crimes her physical body had committed), (b) in prison for the shortest amount of time (which took quite a bit of effort from Bo, especially since Hope was determined to take a plea deal with a 10 year prison sentence), and (c) safe while in prison (since she was a cop & would potentially run into inmates she'd helped put there). Even Carly's realization that Bo still loved Hope and that they were meant to be together was written into the script. This is an example of that "supercouple formula" that Bo & Hope's triangle stories had always followed. |

It's a word. It's a word with a meaning. I have pillows on my bed. As much as my t-shirt may want to be a pillow, it's still a t-shirt because words have meanings. Again. It's not an insult. It's not a group to join. It's not a comparison of good and bad. |

Are you confusing pop culture with subculture? L&L were a phenomenon. They were on the cover of Time magazine. Pop songs were written about GH during the height of their reign. Songs climbed the charts after being played on the show. |
