I also think Rex is (not) so secretely gay.  I'll never buy Rex in a romantic relationship with a woman.

Kindly takes the vodka bottle from Smitty and fills up my flask. *takes a drink*. Oh man, I'm glad that NUKE wasn't mentioned on this list.

Season, love you and and respect your opinion, but seriously....this is Jason not, Lucky we are talking about.   as much as I liked GV and KM together, Lucky and the lack of adventure just didn't do it for Sam, and she admitted as much to Maxie.  Sam has always been an adventure seeker.  Sorry, but this girl is not the brownie baking, laundry folding brownie type. 

I totally agree with you! Liason werent even a couple for god sakes they had a one night stand- i dont get this fight at all between Jasamers and Liasoners, Jasam win by far they shoudnt be on this list at all- and if who ever wrote this article was professinal they wouldnt be! I love how the writer says Jasam is on the list not because of Liz yet after that statement is made the rest of the article is about Liason- its stupid, then they dare to mention the ratings yet dont take into consideration that the ratings may have fallen because of the fact that those of us with neilson boxes like myself arent always home to watch GH and have to tivo it and guess what when i tivo the rating isnt counted, now with the economy most people have to work and cant sit at home and watch the show live the ratings have fallen for all soaps- furthur more the ratings were the highest the  05 year and guess who was together then youve got it Jasam! th writer also states that the readers of their site are mostly Liason fans yet most of the comments on here are from Jasam fans- i find it insulting that you feel you can speak for everyone who watches GH how dare you instead of saying WE want Liason try using I because i watch GH and I dont want Liason so there you go- thats all the time i am going to waste on this BS- now i am going to watch GH LIVE sp they get my rating and i am going to enjoy the best couple of 2009 Jasam

OMG!! I just read the LIkNiz section, lol.  I love how when KeMo fans make the point that Sam going nuts a couple of years ago was about TPTB playing contract hardball with her, (some) people deny it, but the LIkNiz story is all about watering down her popularity and bargaining power. TPTB pull this stuff all the time. 

Though, I'm not sure about it this time. Firstly, is ReH in contract negotiations now? I thought she re-signed awhile ago? Secondly, as crappy as this storyline is, if we take a step back we see: Liz/ReH has now been made into a frontburner, leading lady, they've brought on a family member for her, and they brought back the one actor that most people agree she actually had chemistry with.  Does that sound like sabotage? While I admit I could be wrong, I would argue that Guza thinks he's actually writing good stuff for Liz. And in all honestly, the character has been in similar situations before, so it's not that out of character. The evil smirks and eyebrow raises is something ReH has done for years. It drives me nuts, but I know a lot of her fans like it.

8 out of 10 are right on the money.

I wouldn't put Jasam on the list because even though I don't care for them, they do have some fans and surely means they are doing seem thing right.  Just because Liason is better than Jasam doesn't mean that Jasam is a bad couple in and of itself. Instead of putting them on a worst couples list, I would put Sam on a list of characters with the most wasted potential.

I also wouldn't put Frank & Natalia  or Rex & Stacey on the list because both of these couples were there simply to be obstacles to the real couples of Otalia and RexGi. We were supposed to hate Fratali and Rexcey so you could say that these couples did their job.

Other terrible couples you missed: Tyra/Devon, Tyra/Neil and Adam/Sharon on Y&R, Greg & Rachel and John & Marty on OLTL, and Sonny & Olivia on GH. 

Smitty if you are waiting for my head to explode think again.  I KNEW this was coming.  Lets see a few of the comments I agree with "bitter jizzers" at least "own it" "drunk before noon" and of course the entire paragraph from DaisyClover about how absurd it is to say Kelly wasnt trashed and Sam wasnt written out of character to open the door for Jiz, but poor put upon Becky Herbst is having her popularity watered down. I would laugh if it I wasnt too busy questioning the motivations.

Why did I expect JaSam to be named - first, putting JaSam on this list stirs up the base and gets Luke and Jamey the one thing they cherish - more hits.  Secondly they are working an agenda which reflects not only their feelings about becky and Jiz, but also caters to their "pro-liason" site rep/readership.

I also expected it based on the craptastic "best" list posted yesterday that includes a rapist who cheats on, berates and kicks to the curb his great "love" on a regular basis as well as 3 other cheating couples. two words for ya PUH - LEASE.

I get not liking jaSam fine, but worst, not buying the brooklyn bridge thats being sold.  How about John and Marty, Liza and Zach, Brooke and Ridge, Donna and Eric,  Greg and Rachel, Bo and Nora, Jake and Taylor etc. etc. etc.

Unapologetic skank - forgot to add, this is always what Lizard has been....see Zander, Ric, Jason and Nik.



*rubbing eyes*  My contacts must be blurry, because I just read this and I know I'm not reading what I think I am.  Elizabeth "Mother Teresa is SO jealous" Webber EVER taking responsibility for her actions????  I guess if you think that having her boots licked by any man who's dared to love her, bringing her brother back for the express purpose of giving her his shoulder to whine on, and generally having the rest of the characters pat her on the head and tell her what a swell person she is "responsibility," then so be it, I suppose.

And no, I have no agenda here.  I'm indifferent to Sam, have always hated Liz with the white-hot passion of a thousand suns, and can't figure out what the hell women see in Jason.  But the Madonna (Mary, not Madge)-like admiration for Liz makes me want to rip my hair out.

And BTW, I think it would be a pleasant change if Tyler Christopher WOULD play Nikolas as a d-bag.  All I see him doing these days is looking bored.  I fully expect to see him look at his watch deliberately in a scene one day.

EET,  chill.. There is NO AGENDA by Luke or Jamey. Its laughable to say so. Hell I'm still laughing at that line right now since your acting as though DC has some conspiracy against Jasam. In case you didn't know, that's now how WE ROLL especially NY's finest (that would be me).

Sigh...
But anyways fun list.
Farah did some of her best acting during that Days mess, but I applaud you guys for calling those two out.
And Adam molesting Rafe's bottom lip lol.

Jillian, maybe it depends on how you define "agenda". DC is an influential & popular site and some of the bloggers have definitely campaigned to get Liason back. I mean, over time we've gotten loads of "Put Liason back together!" "JaSam/Sam sucks" stuff -- "If you want Ratings give us Liason" blogs w/ Liason fan vids, etc...  I remember when word got out about Liason ending, Regan posted GH contact info suggesting people write in about it. I think that qualifies as an agenda, lol. I think that's fine. Shoot, if I had a site I'd be campaigning to get Billy Warlock back on soaps, and yeah it would be an "agenda."  There's nothing wrong with that, Jamey has said he's biased and he has every right to be.  EET wasn't slamming anyone, she was just telling it like it is, listing several reasons why JaSam was on the list and that it's just part of a pro-Liason stance. It's not a big deal, imo

 Common Jill They do .....
They are Liason love I know .....
But calling JaSam worst couple is really far far far way .......

EET,  chill.. There is NO AGENDA by Luke or Jamey. Its laughable to say so. Hell I'm still laughing at that line right now since your acting as though DC has some conspiracy against Jasam. In case you didn't know, that's now how WE ROLL especially NY's finest (that would be me).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Jillian for being the voice of reason on this debate. People have no right to say that they are putting Jasam on the worst couple list just to get more hits or to push their agenda of Liason. That is unfair and disrespectful.

Contrary to what some of you may think Jamey has said before that he thinks that Sam was destroyed a little during KeMOs  contract negotiations back in 2007. So what is the big deal if he is saying that they are destorying the Liz character to benefit other couples. Guza has made a career of doing that on GH.  Just because you dont like what they put on the list does not mean that it is wrong, it is called an opinion, I think some of you people need to turn off your TVs and go outside, it seems like you forgot that its scripted television. There is no Jason and Sam in real life lol. 

If you dont like how the site is run then go somewhere else that has your same outlook on soaps. 

Look. Jamey and Luke have NO AGENDA! Its disrespectful and insulting to this site and myself to say so! If that was the case why haven't either one of them said on the blog or in a podcast to call/e-mail/write in via snail mail or vote with your remote to end Jasam and get Liason back?! Has there been a mass campaign to GH and Frons to get Liason back? ENOUGH already!

I am chill Jillian, but I calls em like I sees em - thats how I ROLL.  If it walks like an agenda and quacks like an agenda, its probably an agenda.  But hey, its all good.

Frons n Guza Suck - yes, it's called opinions, and we all have them, and...we all voice them.  Disagreeing with someone's choices on a list isn't direspectful. Nor is pointing out that Jamey and Luke want lots of hits/posts (of course they do, lol!!) I think both Jamey and Luke would be the first to say that the more comments/views the better for DC. That's common sense, right?

And yes, a couple of times Jamey has said Sam was damaged because of contract negotiations but other times he has argued against that and said that there wasn't a change in her character. So to be fair there is a bit of a contradiction there, which I'm sure Jamey would acknowledge.

This has been a friendly debate so far, so there's no need to insult other posters. And there's certainly no need for you to tell them to go to another site. We don't want to go to a site where we all agree on everything. We prefer going to a site where we can discuss and debate stuff. It makes things interesting. With all due respect, if you can't handle people disagreeing over a list, that's your problem.

Wow really, totally uncalled for.  Just because your fave got thrown onto this list should by no means give anyone the right to disrespect the people who work hard on this site.  Get used to it to some people even old time JaSam fans (like me) think this 2009 version reeks of Frons BS, who by the way is the one person who probably has AGENDA tattooed on his ass.

Thanks I love the list, even as a Niz supporter, was thrilled to see Adam & Rafe #1, CBS really loves screwing up all their same sex relationships

Daisyclover when did I say that? This is one of the main reasons why I didn't get into the Jasam/Liason fray. You said its opinions well MINE is that its straight disrespectful to say my DC peeps have an agenda! Hear the key word MINE!

As for the agenda bit EET, you make it seem like Jamey and Luke are saying to hell with what others think and its all about them. Its not. Because they aren't towing the Jasam line they have an agenda?! Ok cool, so everytime they don't agree with everyone they have an agenda. Gotcha! FYI: I wasn't ON DC when Luke made the statement of DC being a "pro Liason" site. The majority ruled on this.

I just saw the other posts WOW...

Why is it that when pro Jiz folks tout their couple its all about love, puttin on a fan girl hat, being a true GH fan, callin it like it is blah blah blah, but if someone disagrees its being delusional enough to think your couple exists in real life, its being disrespectful, needing to get a life etc. etc.

Comical
 
As for a campaign, didnt Daisy just point out that Regan - who I adore by the way - actually did just that.

There is nothing wrong with having an agenda - but as another poster said earlier just own it. The annoying part of this wasnt JaSam getting named, it was claiming that love for BH/Liz had nothing to do with it. 

The quick one segment redemption of Sam....

Never talking about their relationship and completely submerging themselves into the idiotic Franco storyline....

Sam losing her identity by again letting her life completely revolve around Jason....

I mean I can get liking a couple because you have loved them for so long.....and I am definitely no fan of Jasam, but what TPTB have shown us hasn't been a relationship. At least not a very connected or deep one. And I definitely can see why they are in the bottom 10.

And disagreeing is inevitable. But saying there is an agenda....is a little far-fetched. Especially when one really looks at how Jasam's relationship has been this year. There's a difference between not liking a couple and a conspiracy using DC to destroy Jasam. 

How is it disrespectful to say that DC has a pro-liason agenda but its not disrespectful to say Frons has an agenda.  Good lore, I think y'all are getting hung up on a word and distorting it into something it was never intended to be.

May I remind you that in this very piece Luke writes

Daytime Confidential has a reputation for being a pro-Liason site. Okay, technically this isn't an undeserved rap

Daisy, I have no problem with having a difference of opinion, I love debating with you guys on Jasam/ Liason and any other couples but their is a difference between disagreeing with someone in a respectful manner and saying things like they are lying about Liason not being the reason that Jasam is on the worst couple list and to say that they are just putting them on the list to get people to click on the site is more than an opinion is insulting someone character and calling them a liar.
As far as my go to another site comment, it was to those complaining that they dont like how the site is run with agendas and such not because they like Jasam or other couple that are not popular with the staff. THe site would not be the same without but be respectful at the same time.

Maybe the difference is that I said that Frons "probably" has an agenda you out and out said certain bloggers had an agenda. So in other words as long as DC is a pro-liason site they should never add JaSam to any list good or bad??    Sorry if I believe that people can keep their personal feelings aside, and be partial when needed.

troymcclure: I know!! I want Billy back so bad, lol!

To others: No one has insulted DC or been disrespectful. Jamey has said time and again that he's a Liason fan, that he's biased when it comes to it (which he has every right to be). A couple of bloggers have indeed campaigned for Liason (through blogs, posting TPTB contact info suggesting Liason fans write in, posting vids and saying if they put Liason back together they'll start watching again.) What's the big deal? How is saying that insulting anyone?? Jamey & Jillian have even said they're not unbiased like the NY Times. So I don't get what the big deal is?

And FINALLY:
I may argue with this list, but to say that any of us are being disrespectful to people, insulting people,unappreciative of people's hard work is a bunch of bullsh*t. I've been coming to this site for years (and before that the old TFO forums). I've told many of the bloggers multiple times that I appreciate what they do, I continue to come here and post/view their blogs as a show of support, I've recommended this site to lots of other people, I've tweeted their posts many times (in a sense, promoting them), I've defended them on other sites that can be unfairly harsh, and I've supported them with my money as well (albeit awhile ago, things are tight for me at the moment.)

Come on people, Niz is hot and Liz has some spark in her that she doesn't have with Lucky, not yet anyway and Nora is doing both brothers, so why not Liz?

I never had a problem with people saying this site is pro liason but to say that they are lying and need to OWN UP TO IT is not fair to them or to other people that feel the same way. I am a Liason fan and I hate Jasam but the reason why I dont want them together has nothing to do with liason. It is because Sam is pathetic when she is with Jason and Jason going with Sam after what she tried to do to Jake erases 15 years of his characters code in my opinion.

ETT, of course we want hits, we're a business, but no, contrary to whatever you have been told, that is not what Luke, nor I, cherish most... What we cherish most, is the survival of daytime soap operas, and that won't happen when fanbases are disrespected by execs, who tear popular couples apart, because they happen to favor one actress over another. If this was a normal breakup, where couples are cyclical, we wouldn't fight this hard for Liason, but we know it isn't. Now you can go ahead and talk about my alleged sources, but I have broken just about each and every single ABC story of merit for the past two years, so when I tell you, Fronsie broke them up for HIS agenda, I know of what I speak...

If we thought loving JaSam would get us more hits, we wouldn't simply support them because of that factor. Luke, Regan and I , happen to ORGANICALLLY love Liason, so of course, a site where we post regularly about GH, will be a pro-Liason site. Of course we are biased. This is not a national newspaper, where federal law says we have to give equal time to politicians. It's a BLOG. Perez Hilton favors Angelina. Other sites favor Jennifer Aniston. We favor Liason. Yes, we now have Jillian, who liked JaSam the first time around, but we have never made any bones about loving Liason here at DC, and  of COURSE we want them back together. (Gasp!). As for agenda, I have never so much as met Steve Burton, or Becky Herbst. I take that back, I passed Becky and her hubby in the hallway at the Emmy theater, but the producer who was taking me to my rehearsal for the pre-show said I didn't have time to stop and say hello. Bummer for me. So no, we have no "agenda" other than good soap. Now whether or not Liason makes good soap is subjective. WE happen to think it does, so we say so. We also happen to think JaSam's reunion has been bunk, busted and contrived, so again, WE say so. It's our blog. We call it like we see it. Just like anyone else does on their blog, their show, etc. We have NEVER claimed to be unbiased.
 

Starfish THANK YOU! I'm unbiased to say Jasam didn't have a good year since they reunited over Sam saving Jake after ALL the b.s  she's done. The reunion wasn't a organic one and felt forced instead of them working through the problems they have i.e the attemptive kidnapping of Jake and asult of Liz.
