Whether they are General Hospital’s Patrick and Robin, As the World Turns' Luke and Noah, Days of our Lives’ Bo and Hope or any of the many other popular soap couples, they heat up our screens, inspire fanbases and drive us nuts when they aren’t together.

Going with the most classic couple for the past decade and beyond with no recasts and the same undeniable chemistry, Bill Bell's Nicholas and Sharon. This is the couple that fairytale love is built around. For some it might not work since some don't believe in fairytale love anymore but for me, I am not so jaded that I can't appreciate the classic romeo and juliet story. Joshua and Sharon still have that beautiful haunting chemistry that can be felt w/out even touching.
Other faves:
Neil/Dru - VR and KSJ sizzled!
Todd/Tea
Jason/Sam

Liason all the way!
I think any people who share a child and were engaged count as a couple. To debate that is a little idiotic. The fact that after ten years with tons of starts and stops people are still rooting for them to overcome everything and be together, that says more than anything I could come up with.

I'd love to vote for my favorite couple but everytime I come on to DC, I just get the results of the voting. Doesn't matter what I do, delete cookies, refresh, restart my computer, or use another computer, nothing works. And I know it's just not me having this problem. Somethings not right! This is very fustrating, to say the least!!!

I had to vote for my Otalia, but I wanted to give a shout out to the Liason fans!
You guys always give us a run for our money!
The whole lot of you are nice, polite, and love your couple so much!
Just makes me <3 you all!

I agree with you 1000%.......and so do countless other OLTL viewers so just ignore those rude comments as that is strictly their own opinion and besides they could very well be a Nuke fan now facing major competition.........
The chemistry between these actors is truly amazing and the reason why their popularity is growing fast and they are considered one of the best couples ever seen on daytime....GO KISH...

"most underwhelming and chemistry-less couple in daytime HISTORY".....
uuuuh...projecting much Amamal? I don't know what couple you have been watching but Kyle and Fish are the definition of chemistry and passion! They may not be your cup of tea but no need to hate. KISH is awesome! And they seem to at least be getting the most votes from the OLTL gang, even if they have only been around for a few months.

Actually, Lizzie, I'm not as good as you think I am. Unfortunately, I have to log in to vote, so once I log in, it shows that I've already voted. I'm afraid I can't vote on your behalf.
Darn Daytime Confidential and its voting efficiencies!!! No hanging chads here! ;-)

HI, TV, Gord -- Just saw your message. I really appreciated your offer and the fact that you would do that for me without hesitation. That was so nice of you. While my couple is not number one, they are a strong number 2 and that says alot.
My best wishes to you and your family for a joyous holiday season!

Hmm this says I voted when I didnt. I would have voted for JaSam, but I dont expect them to win this one, not on this particular board at least. Thankfully the full audience doesnt mirror the preferences at dc.
