Love...harlee, I was a big Peluso fan from SFT too. Loved her as Lila on AW. When Kathleen came back the writers had changed. I know a lot of viewers that started watching after she had left in 1986 so their loyalties were with Frankie at that point, and so were the writers. It was a good triangle where there were three strong characters but the new writers didn't write the types of stories Cass and Kathleen had before. Kudos to Stephen Schnetzer for being so awesome with everyone.<br /><br />As for Mac and Rachel, I wish every episode from their first two years was available.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-24363468511237179112012-08-23T15:33:00.530-04:002012-08-23T15:33:00.530-04:00@Roger...I do agree about Cass & Frankie, WOND...@Roger...I do agree about Cass & Frankie, WONDERFUL couple and fun, when I was watching old episodes that started on Soapnet (when it actually showed soap operas) I was able to catch the years I hadn't seen before and I was in hog heaven. Seeing Frankie as she came to town and back history. Kathleen returned and I didn't like Cass & Kathleen, I know they were a popular couple but probably because when I went back watching Cass & Frankie was married and pregnant with Charlie...fallen in love. As far as Cass I loved him with Lila more so then with Frankie and it was because of Lisa Pelso. I grew up with her as "Wendy" she was delicious!harlee490https://www.blogger.com/profile/04603909452347779096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-92174224751231434292012-08-23T10:45:15.839-04:002012-08-23T10:45:15.839-04:00I agree RogerI agree RogerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975814456726748794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-32261813076657140412012-08-23T01:16:21.250-04:002012-08-23T01:16:21.250-04:00Yay--I Still Love Mac & Rachel!

Mac and Rachel were a given(and I'm expecting to see Steve and Alice), but Cass & Frankie deserve to be here as well. They may not have gotten all the magazine covers and Digest awards that DOOL and GH were hogging, and Emmy certainly ignored them(though Stephen Schnetzer and Alice Barrett were both deserving), but AW did devote two special B&W episodes to them and Frankie's brutal murder sent the show on a downward spiral it would never recover from---if that's not impact I don't know what is. What made Frankie & Cass so special and so memorable though was the amazing chemistry Barrett and Schnetzer shared. As it is, few couples on this list can compare with them in that department.veggieburgermeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978402532318137066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-34705662104840778062012-08-22T19:12:39.323-04:002012-08-22T19:12:39.323-04:00We will have to agree to disagree.

Mac and Rachel in the 1970s were pure brilliance and the 'triangle' with Iris was the best in soap history. I enjoyed Bo and Hope in the early days as a nice young love story but not so much in recent years. But I think both deserve to be in the Top 10.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-66396534441356588532012-08-22T19:08:53.055-04:002012-08-22T19:08:53.055-04:00@zyxwvuts: You'll get no argument from me in t...@zyxwvuts: You'll get no argument from me in terms of who were the better actors but I'd argue that Bo & Hope were a more relevant, impactful and important couple in daytime history. Heck, if this list were about the best acting duos in daytime history, Douglass Wattson/Victoria Wyndham, Justin Deas/Margaret Colin, Robert Newman/Kim Zimmer and Erika Slezak/Robin Strausser would be my top choices. As far as couples, Bo & Hope should rank #2 not #10!

This list has been biased toward P&G soaps. <br /><br />On another-note: Will Soap Classics release Another World on DVD like ATWT AND GL? Another World was a P&G soap. I know the folks here at WeLoveSoaps have an inside track.
