14. GH’s Anna Devane and Hamilton Finn

These two haven’t had a bona fide relationship, but sparks certainly did fly when General Hospital’s (GH) Anna and Finn got together to work on a case. This potential relationship is nowhere near being over, but who knew there would be so much chemistry between a super-spy agent and a clean-cut doctor?

Heroic Soap Opera Moments

12. Y&R’s Victoria Newman and J.T. Hellstrom

J.T.’s return to Genoa City was outrageous and it seems that his exit is just as crazy. All that aside, when Hellstrom returned to the Y&R it never seemed as if he and Vicky would reunite. In fact, many fans thought that something between him and her sister Abby might develop. The former husband and wife came together during a fight, which led to some friskiness, and Hellstrom moved in with her shortly after. What happened next was insane: no one foresaw Vicky and J.T. becoming a couple again, but Y&R audiences were equally as stunned when their romance turned surprisingly violent!

Soap Opera Actors Who Simply Cannot Be Recast

11. GH’s Sam McCall and Drew Cain

When the real Jason Morgan returned to Port Charles, many GH fans wondered what Sam would do. Most thought she would immediately run into Jason’s arms and try to rekindle their romance; others assumed she might take a break from both him and Drew to figure her feelings out. Therefore, it was unexpected when Sam made a snap decision to not only stay with Drew but marry him as quickly as she could.

Soap Opera Actresses Who Simply Cannot Be Recast

10. DOOL’s Kate and Andre DiMera

Their holy union last year was really a business agreement to help save DiMera Enterprises, and there was absolutely no love or attraction between Kate and Andre. As time wore on Andre seemed to soften up to Kate and vice versa and romance sparked. It’s just too bad that Andre died before the two could really enjoy each other on a personal level, rather than business only.

Outrageous Soap Opera Secrets

9. Y&R’s Mariah Copeland and Tessa Porter

Mariah and Tessa seemed like they were headed on a nice BFF journey when the two suddenly locked lips! It was a stunning moment when the two realized they had feelings for each other that were more than mere friendship. For a long time, they didn’t explore more of a relationship together, but luckily for Y&R viewers, the momentary swerve was revisited. And nowadays, Mariah and Tessa are wife and wife!

Toxic Soap Opera Siblings

8. GH’s Elizabeth Webber and Franco Baldwin

Not exactly two peas in a pod, but this GH couple lasted a lot longer than many fans would’ve thought. The very fact that these two moved in together and almost got married is mind-blowing. Opposites do attract in the world of soaps, but Franco and Liz have personalities that don’t mesh. Many GH fans never saw this couple coming and certainly didn’t think they’d be together as long as they were.

Toxic Soap Opera Friendships

7. DOOL’s Adrienne Johnson and Lucas Horton

They aren’t together anymore, but Lucas and Adrienne hooking up on DOOL was something many fans didn’t expect. Not only did they couple up, but they also almost got married. Perhaps it’s their age difference or the fact that Adrienne isn’t the kind of girl Lucas usually dates, but they just didn’t seem right for each other from the get-go.

Darkest Soap Opera Moments

6. Y&R’s Mariah Copeland and Devon Hamilton

This couple came together out of nowhere and lacked true chemistry from the start. It is no surprise that they didn’t last long, and Mariah seemed more smitten with BFF Tess than with Hamilton throughout their relationship anyway. Perhaps it was because she was a rebound for him after his break up with Hilary.

Soap Opera Characters Who Will Come Back To Life In 2022

5. DOOL’s Sami Brady and E.J. DiMera

Mortal rivals from the moment E.J. stepped into Salem, Sami had a hate-on for DiMera for a long while. She even tried to kill him at one point, so who knew Sami would eventually come around and call E.J. one of the loves of her life? They despised each other but always had chemistry together, which made E.J. and Sami one of Salem’s most popular super couples back in the day.

Soap Opera’s Breakout Stars Of 2021

4. Y&R’s Sabrina and Victor Newman

It’s not every day that your father dates your BFF, so the union of Sabrina and Victor became Victoria’s worst nightmare. The two fell in love, got married, and tried to start a family within months, which was rather quick, even for soap opera standards. They had a whirlwind romance … literally. Just as fast as they came together, their relationship ended when Sabrina died after a car crash.

In Memoriam: Soap Opera Stars We Lost In 2021

3. B&B’s Paris Buckingham and Carter Walton 

Maybe it’s because Carter seemed to be so smitten with Katie at the time. Or maybe it’s because Carter had been engaged to Paris’s sister, Zoe. But nobody expected Paris, who had just hit the sheets with Zende, to suddenly jump in the sack with her almost brother-in-law! The romantic scenes between these two failed to convince audiences, and Carter soon bailed on the relationship.

Disastrous Soap Opera Weddings

2. Y&R’s Phyllis Summers and Billy Abbott

While fans could see their affair coming from a mile away, their recent coupledom is a little shocking to say the least. Philly seems like a pairing that is perfect for the bedroom, and not so much when it comes to domestication. Regardless, while many thought that Billy would continue to pursue his ex Victoria, last year he decided to choose Phyllis and the two are officially shacked up.

Iconic Soap Opera Rivalries

1. DOOL’s Eve Donovan and Brady Black

What was originally a plot to destroy Eve, has now turned into love. Grandad Victor Kirikias and Brady worked hard to convince Eve to let her guard down in order to gain corporate control of the family business. Little did Brady realize that trying to seduce Eve would result in love. It’s been a crazy storyline that many DOOL fans simply didn’t see coming.
