Just to counteract the 'favorite' thread. This should bring some good snark!

From "The Bold and the Beautiful":

Mulletor (Ridge Forrester) and anybody who is not his mother
Prick (Nick Marone) and Bridget
Prick and Felicia
Prick and Brooke

Courtney and Nikolas. Port Charles' resident Toonces can't stay married if she tried. Nikolas, pouting over the fact that his wife can't get over the fact that she was raped by his look-alike, plays the "but we didn't sleep together!" game for months, refusing to admit he and Courtney were breaking their marriage vows in every way but that. Then they have the nerve to be all self-righteous because her husband dares to want to be a father to his own child.

John and Evangeline (OLTL)- McHips meets Deadtome.

Babe and Jamie (AMC)- Keep your bestiality fetish to yourself, McT!

Nik and Emily (GH)- Yes, before WhoreNi, there was the fairy-tale horror of NUM.

Jason and Courtney (GH)- And before NUM, there was this exercise in anti-chemistry.

Sonny and Sam (GH)- And you think Sam cries a lot with Jason? While I am not a JaSam supporter, it is far preferable to watching her wax poetic on Greasy Dimples.

Carly and Sonny (GH)- If ever a couple single-handedly ate a show alive...

Jason and Whoretney are easily the worst couple of all time, because Alicia Leigh Willis and Steve Burton had that very rare rapport known as "anti-chemistry." Never in my life have I seen two actors who more thoroughly brought out the absolute worst in each other, or two characters, for that matter. They were the dullest dullards who ever dulled.

Compared to Jason/Whoretney, all other TFGH couples are heyday Luke and Laura.

WhorNi makes me wish for NUM. StBu lucked out because was unintentional paired with someone who possessed a liquid type of sexuality and the beginning of their coupling didn't actively repluse me since both of them were pretty much unattached. WhorNi to me is the anti-Jasam: They betrayed other people and there is no conceivable I can come with to make me think these people belong together.

Sonny and Carly hands down.

All the others have had their time and have died at the alters of their other pairings, but Carly and Sonny bring out the worst in each other and it's time they got the hell away from each other.

Worst Soap Opera Couple? That's hard, because, well, there are quite a few. However, the one that fills me with the most horror is Soily. Just the hints and "dreams" that I've seen make me want to heave. Sonny and Emily is just plain gross.

Make the lambs stop screaming, please.

I am currently down to watching only one soap - ATWT and hands down the couple I hate the most is Katie/Mike. I liked them well enough the first go-round, but after she left him twice for Simon before deciding she couldn't live without him, I decided that he just wound up always being second choice. Woohoo - that's romantic. But, when she broke Henry's heart and he cheated on his pregnant wife (who had told him over and over again before he married her that he should go to Katie if he wanted), I started despising them. I think they are the most selfish, boring, couple in ages. I hate everything about them.

Couples I've hated in the past include:

Kelly/Cruz on SB and
Shane/Kayla on Days.

Men should just stay away from their ex-wives' sisters, especially when said man and the ex-wife were very popular together like Cruz/Eden and Shane/Kimberly.

I also hated Sami/Austin on Days - first, she raped him and second, she did everything she could to ruin his marriage to HER SISTER (anyone notice a theme?) Besides, being with Sami just made Austin look like an idiot - which AP's version of Austin didn't need any help with. By the end of Carrie/Austin, I didn't care so much about them, but I hated that he ended up with Sami for even a minute.

I'm sure there are others I've hated over the years, but those just jump out at me.

Greenlee and Carlos on AMC! Wow, what a bad match. Carlos was the most ill-conceived character I had ever seen at the time, coupled with the atrocity that was MaxAlex's "acting."

The only thing that made it possible to get through it was the fact that Rebecca Budig obviously LOATHED having to act girlfriendy to him. She's a good actress but even she couldn't hide the revulsion. And that made it a teensy, miniscule-bit interesting to watch.

Ryan Lavery and his ego.

Sami and Austin, DOOL. We're supposed to buy the fact that he forgave her for everything she did to him for ten years (drug raping, making him think he was the father of her child, manipulating, lying) and suddenly fell in love with her? His wife's half sister?! Even for a soap opera, that pairing was completely, 100%, and utterly ridiculous.

Theresa and Ethan, Passions. She repeatedly stalked him as a teenager, helped plan his wedding in order to get close to him, pretended to be his girlfriend's friend in order to worm her way into their lives, repeatedly found ways to drive a wedge between him and his girlfriend, used her son to get close to him, then after he's married, she drugs and ties up their surrogate in a closet and gets their embryo implanted in HER, (which she later admitted she did to get him back, not only to get her kid back...sorry, Theresa fans) and just for good measure, she drug raped him. And we're supposed to buy the fact that he doesn't care about any of that? Again, utterly ridiculous.

Whooeee mama, I hated both of those pairings. After Eden/Cruz, it seemed like Blonde Swap!

As for Shane/Kayla: after Patch, how could anyone like Shane possibly, possibly be appealling? Shane/Kimberly was benignly cute, IMO, but Patch/Kayla was the very first soap couple I fell in love with, so the Shane hookup was a show dropper for me.

But for more current events, I would have to agree with those who hate Nikolas/Courtney on GH. Hookers in Bangkok don't suck that much.

Putting an exstripper with a prince needs more than a month of build up. I would never have liked this couple anyway but the way they came together was just wrong. Plus they are boring dumb and vomit inducing.

I am most repulsed by AndroidCassie and JON on GL right now. When BC was on the show the first time as Richard he had mad sex appeal with LW as Cassie, but the new incarnations of them (Jeffrey and NewCassie NF) make me ill to watch.

Oh dear lord, where to start?

DAYS:
Shelle (are they even a couple any longer?)
Jate
Carrie/Lucas
Austin/Sami
Carrie/Austin

AMC:
Rylee. Sure, it's over, but it can never be mentioned enough that we were subjected to the horror of Rylee.

Kibbles 'n Bitch (see the explanation for Rylee above. Same goes for Jaime/Babe).

Kryan. Because if MMT goes there again, that's what I'll be doing.

This wins the prize, but honorable mention goes to Ryan and Greenlee on AMC. They went from hating/having no use for each other to best friends/twu wuv 4-eva in about five seconds flat with absolutely no chemistry to back it up. Add in their gag-inducing cutesy-pie nicknames, lame-ass "psychic connection", 45-minute love scenes, AND the fact that their marriage is the reason that Ryan's sperm became the focus of practically the whole damn show during most of 2005 - and there you have it. Worst Couple Ever.

Word! Thanks for saving me from having to type this. The nightmares about Rylee just won't go away...

I have to agree, because there are couples I've hated more (Jason/Courtney, I'm looking at you), but no couple destroyed a show quite like S&C. Hatesex ruined Sonny for life, and changed Carly from self-destructive but fiercely independent to Mrs. Corinthos, Sonny's emotional punching bag and personal whore. Every possible pairing was sacrificed on their altar: Sexis, Zarly, CarJax, even that mess with Stavros, so we could endure another round of Sonny throwing things at his wife and her begging for respect. Every male character had to lose to Sonny; every female character had to lose to Carly; and the story has done nothing but tell viewers that shooting your wife in the head while in labor and treating her like the dirt under your shoes is romantic and sexy! UGH. I loathed Journey, but they were just boring and self-contained, damage to AJ not withstanding. The didn't destroy the entire show all by their lonesome. Honorable mention goes to Jason/Sam for destroying the decaying remains of my Jason/Carly friendship with that miserable baby lie.

And I must mention Hart/Cassie on GL because that pairing from hell ruined my beautiful Dinah/Hart, introduced St. Cassie of the Pole Bar (from which I never recovered) and my Dinah go all batshit crazy to make the stripper sent by Satan all goody-goody and perfect.

ETA:



*sobs* in memory of Ryan/Gillian...fave soap couple ever.

This *is* a good counterpart to the fave couples thread! Hmm, who would I pick...?

Well, Rylee on AMC, although as someone pointed out, they're over now, belong in the Crappy Couple Hall of Shame because they were so annoying and hateful, not to mention sanctimoniously blind to their own crap. And if the writers DARE try to foist Rendall 3.0 back on us, they will definitely rise (or is that sink) to the top of the list.

I think I would also pick, on ATWT, Paul and Rosanna. They're also over because Rosanna, supposedly, is in a permanent coma (translation: she's headed to AMC to return as Dixie == yay!!!) But they were really annoying together -- no chemistry, and none of the snarky goodness she had with Craig, or that he has with Emily, even though I HATE them both for keeping Jennifer's baby from her. I would also add this show's Matie -- a couple that I just loved together a year or so ago and that the writers have since then summarily ruined beyond all redemption, as far as I'm concerned.

Princess Greta and Austin on DOOL. There was more passion and excitement watching paint dry. She was as bad as Donna on 90210 with the over- 20 virginity.

I would have to say Kendall Slater and Ryan's semen make an even worse pair.

Other than that, I gotta go with Jovan (OLTL) of the sink sex, strings, and paper chains of love.

1. John and Evangeline, OLTL- they wrecked McNat for this? Yeah yeah John and Nat are back together but...
2. John and Natalie, OLTL. After the inital magic of OriginalRecipe!McNat, it was ruined by sink sex, strings and the SamiBrady-fying of Natalie.
3. Lily and Jonathan, AMC- I know they're not a couple yet but it looks to be coming and I can't tell you how much this squicks me out. Speaking of squicky...
4. Emily and Sonny, GH. It is not of the Lord. That's all I have to say.
5. Cassie and Da!McScruff, GL- I hatehatehatehatehate them. HATE.
6. Sonny and Jason, GH- THAT'S the couple who have single handedly ruined that show.
7. AJ and the MeatHook, GH- that's when I stopped watching
8. Crossbow and Fire, OLTL- both forsook me.
9. Ryan and His Siblings, AMC- get them off the show. NOW.

Oh yes. Both were just horrid mistakes.

Sonny/Emily, also known as Soily, is such a horrible idea that it actually makes me laugh hysterically. Right before I spork out my own eyeballs. Especially since the TFGH thread predicted it jokingly a couple of years ago. Sonny knew her when she was eleven years old and being played by Amber Tamblyn.

Just picture in your heads Maurice Benard flirting with Amber Tamblyn, y'all. Natalia Livingston is several years older, sure. But Maurice Benard looks about a thousand years old now, and it's EMILY. Emily.

God, even as trashed as her character is now, who the hell would actually wish Sonny upon her? Of course even Maurice seems to realize the utter skeeviness of the pairing, and so we're going to get a one-sided crush from Emily (since Sonny's love can NEVER be unrequited), and the twelve millionth reunion of Sonny and Carly, the couple that killed General Hospital and made it Typical Fucking General Hospital.

Cassie? Richard? What?

I'm sorry. I bloody well hated them. I still do.

Haha!!

But at least they had chemistry, unlike the current shit.

Courtney and Nikolas...how someone can have her wide open legs listed in the Port Charles guidebook as a "Location of Interest" and still manage to be so self righteous is beyond me. I don't think it's related to Sonny even - that shit doesn't come from Mike. This eyerolling hag expects everyone in town to not only accept -but welcome her dalliance with a married man when the spooge in her own newlywed Sperm!Cup (the hospital issued one, not the one she's installed with) hasn't yet cooled and has the nerve to act like she's the injured party in the presence of the dumped wife. Seriously, how disgusting and low do you have to be to dine with your new lovah at the restaurant hotel your husband bought and named after you? Can people please start treating this trash like what she is? There's a reason she's BFF with Cunty - they're cut from the same questionably stained cloth.

He bailed on his raped wife. Do I have to say anything more?

Theresa and Ethan: She's raped him and caused his wife to lose at least one of their children in her never ending quest to satisfy her "fate" with him. (Hey dummy, maybe if you'd completed your education instead of dumping it to chase after a bag of meat 24/7, you'd understand that by definition, you don't have to destroy lives for "fate", you don't have to do anything for it. It just happens.) Oh yeah, he's currently in an irreversible coma because he accidentally ate some poisoned food Theresa left out to kill her husband - who she only married because she thought he would somehow help her, wait for it, get Ethan! And the green grass grows all around all around and the green grass grows all around.

Shelle - Snore.

Then remember Emily's first romance. With Juan. Sonny's step-son. And remember Sonny finding Juan and Emily making out, and remember Sonny lecturing them. Then reach for the bleach.

Sonny/Carly. Dear god. Everything lovely and good about GH was eventually sacrificed on their altar. Not to mention that we've seen the same damn story with them since Carly put on the wire in the spring of 2000. Five of years of wash, rinse, spin, repeat with everyone else being slaughtered in their path. And it's not even a good story! She's a doormat, and he shot her in the head! There has been absolutely no character growth. In fact, I think they've regressed.

Other couples of Jess/Antonio on OLTL are godawful, but the whole show hasn't been sacrificed in their wake. Or in other cases of show sacrficing couples, like Rylee, they usually don't go on for SIX FEAKING YEARS.

Sheridan and Luis (or Chris) on Passions. Actually, I don't know if that's true because I fast forward through all their crap storyline now. They stink!

It's true.

Oh, and Whitney and Chad on that show. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? My incestyay love only goes so far.

Passions - I don't watch this show. But Whitney & Chad are all kinds of wrong.

AMC- Lily & Jonathon. I hope they don't go there.

GH - Courtney & Nikolas. Emily & Sonny. Jason & Sam.

Hee, CB, this is why we love you!!

My vote

Ragemonkey & Greenbitch
Boobe and Lamie

AMC- I will add myself to the list of all that hate Rylee. They actually forced me away from the show for a long time. Words cannot express my hatred for this pair. Dishonorable mention goes to Babe and Jamie. I hope their real life chemistry is better than what I saw on my screen.

ATWT- Keith and Lily- Worse on screen kissing ever.

GL- Sandy and Tammy- Total snoozefest especially when compared to Jammy which is smoking hot.

The show's been unwatchable for years, IMO, but any pairing that involves Marlena on DOOL is pretty repellant. She's so sanctimonious and such a crappy actress and she's done something to her face so that the skin around her mouth won't move. Yet we're supposed to believe that men just can't get over her. I suppose it's nice to see a woman over 40 as a love object, but THIS woman? not so much.

Plus, of course, her Twuest Wuv is Drake the original "smell the fart" Hogestyn and he's an original the way William Shatner is, only less entertaining. They went to the same school of strange emphases and overused eyebrows.

Bo ahd Hope are high on my list of unwatchable couples these days. The have no comunication and don't seem to care a whole lot about eachother's opinions or feelings sometimes. Not to mention watching KA's physical condition makes me ill.

I'm sure I'm missing a lot, but here here it goes:

OLTL:
Antonio/Jessica and Will/Jessica
John/Evangeline and John/Natalie
Jen/anyone
Sam/Nora and Troy/Nora
Sam/Blair, Max/Blair, Patrick/Blair, and Spencer/Blair - b/c it's going to happen. ick.
Bo/Melanie
Kevin/Kelly (when Kevin was played by the guy from AW)
Viki/Ben
Max/Luna
Todd/Tea

GL:
Jon/Cassie and Richard/Cassie
Danny/Michelle with NSA, and Danny/Marina
Shane/Marina
Sandy/Tammy

ATWT:
Jack/Julia I(the psycho who raped him) and Jack/Julia II
Craig/Carly
Craig/Rosanna
Mike/Katie and Henry/Katie
Paul/anyone
Rose/anyone

GH: Sonny/anyone (except when with Brenda years ago)
Days: John/Marlena
AMC: Ryan and his ego! and Matteo/Hayley

I find any pairing involving GH's Sonny, Jason, Carly, Sam or Courtney so, so, so, so very disgusting. Worst of the worst: Sonny/Carly and Jason/Courtney, but Nik/Em and Nik/Court are right up there, even though I liked Zander/Em and Nik/Gia, so it's not the characters of Nik and Emily I despise. I also hated Sonny/Sam a LOT, but Jax/Sam may even have been worse. Hated Sonny/Alexis, that tenth-rate "Guys and Dolls" rip-off that ruined Alexis for me forever.

On OL, it's anything involving Asstonio.

On AMC, Ryan/Greenlee. Just BLEAH.

Let's see:
DOOL: Austin and anyone, Kate and John really made me barf, and Belle and Shawn.

Passions: Sheridan with anyone, she makes Luis look stupid. And anyone with Ethan. Get over it already ladies!


ETA: I forgot all about the suck that was Miguel and Charity. I wanted to kill myself whenever they were onscreen. And now Fancy and Noah are inciting the same reaction.

NikHo gets my vote as well, it's one of the most disgusting pairings & premises ever - not to mention the characters have NOTHING in common & do not even know each other.

Ironically, Nikolas (when played by Coltin Scott Conchita Alonzo Stephen Fish Taco Martines) framed new-in-town Courtney for causing a car accident that his then-girlfriend Gia caused. It was the first of many car-related incidents that led Courtney to earn the nickname of Toonces.

AMC: Amanda/Jamie
ATWT: Dusty/Jen - do they count?
BB: Ridge/Anybody
Days: Belle/Shawn
GH: Sonny/Anybody
GL: Jonathan/Tammy
OLTL: John/Anybody
Passions: TC/Liz, Terrorcita/Ethan

But they're in llllllllllllllllllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeee. They walk around with little romantic hearts circling their muscl-y heads, tripping along and skipping and singing.

And they suck. They deserve a plaque. Or a plague. Whichever.

I'm sure I've hated other couples before, but this pair gets so much hate from me. Hatred beyond the fiery-sun hatred; we're into the 9th level of hell, where Lucifer cries tears of ice. It's an outer rings of the galaxy hatred, so cold it burns.

Y&R: JT and Mac - utterly boring characters with no chemistry

Juan from GH and anybody. But I guess he was only with Emily. So them.

Aaron and Lucy from ATWT. They finally saw the light and broke them up but man, that took a long time.

On GH, I hated Sonny/Lily and Brenda/Miguel. I can't say I hated Jax/Chloe... but they were so damn boring and saccharine. They were all appearance and had no substance that I ever saw. Also hated Stephan/Katherine, the original Nothing Says Love Like A Bullet couple on GH.

On OLTL, Viki/Sloan and Todd/Tea: mainly because these two couples were only able to happen by slaughtering the previous interest, Clint and Blair respectively. In the case of Todd/Tea, they repeatedly brought Blair out for the two of them to feast on. I don't find anything rootable about couples that have to be built on that kind of foundation.

Also on OLTL, Jess/Antonio; McDeadtome (aka John & Evangeline); Nora/Troy; Blair/Sam (either incarnation) Blair/Kevin; Natalie/Seth AND Jess/Seth; Jen/Cristian

What a great thread. I only watch GH these days...



WORST. COUPLE. EVER. They are absolutely repulsive. Every scene with them is an affront to human decency. The trite, banal, and incessant "we don't have to be guilty for loving each other" is nauseous in the extreme.

Sonny/Carly also awful. Just... awful.

Hmmm...let me think.

Another World: Amanda and the other guy. Evan? She belonged to Sam. That bugged.

Santa Barbara: Cruz and Santana. Ugh.

Days: I have to say Bonnie and Mickey. But mostly I'm just mad because Mickey was turned into a doddering old fool. And after today, ANYONE and Philip. OMG, that hair is bad.

Passions: Sheridan and Chris. Just plain gross.

I'll probably get flack for a couple of my choices but what the hell...

Sonny and anyone....I want him dead.

John and Evangeline (OLTL)

Tammy and Sandy (GL)

John and Marlena (Days)

Caleb and Livvie (PC)

Ian and Lucy (PC)

Jax and anyone. I hate the character, he is a total waste of space.

I saw the title and knew I needed to check in. The bad news is I'm not needed here. All of my least favorites have been bagged and tagged. I can go back to Erika Kane and Nick Davis, but I won't. Marlena and all of her past loveswith DH-as John or Roman who still hasn't gotten away from her? Together they make the worst couple in any mutation.

The Sonny hate? I'm feelin' ya. I saw the Emily loves Sonny shit this week. The only woman who has not been to the dark side is Liz, no, Skye and Tracy managed to stay under the radar too. I also reuse to acknowledge the Sam and Jason snotfest.

GL has a host of sad creatures with no taste or chemistry. Beth and Alan Spaulding. Alan like Asa Buchanan on OLTL aways marries women known Biblically by his sons. Ewwwwwwwwww!
